County engineers win approval for Koka Cave winter maintenance, fiber bore permit and RCTP projects
Summary
The board approved the annual roadway maintenance agreement with Iowa DOT for Koka Cave State Park (72 lane miles), a directional bore permit for Makoka Valley Electric Cooperative on 234th Street, and a FY27 RCTP agreement with the City of Miles for $8,212; the board also approved updates to the oil-spill prevention plan to reflect larger bulk tanks.
Jackson County Engineer Jaden Shekele presented several infrastructure items on June 9 and the board approved each by voice vote.
Shekele recommended approval of the annual roadway maintenance agreement with the Iowa Department of Transportation for winter snow operations in Koka Cave State Park, covering 72 lane miles (about 36 miles of roadway). "Our department we recommend approval of the roadway maintenance for the winter snow operations for the Koka Cave State Park," Shekele said. Supervisors approved the agreement and discussed plans to revisit cost estimates for future years as materials and labor costs change.
The board also approved a Makoka Valley Electric Cooperative directional boring permit to install fiber under 234th Street in Butler Township (serving 5571 234th Street) and a FY27 RCTP agreement with the City of Miles for $8,212. Finally, engineers said larger bulk oil tanks required an update to the county's oil-spill prevention plan; the board approved the updated plan and authorized chair signature.
All items were approved by motion and voice vote; the transcript records motions and voice votes but not roll-call counts in the public minutes.
