Tama County Board approves short-term 28D engineering agreement with Iowa County
Summary
Supervisors approved a month-to-month chapter 28D intergovernmental agreement to have Iowa County’s engineer provide up to 16 hours per month of engineering services to Tama County at $150 per hour plus mileage; the contract term is limited to six months under state code.
Tama County supervisors voted Feb. 16 to approve a chapter 28D intergovernmental agreement with Iowa County that will have an Iowa County engineer provide limited, on-call engineering services to Tama County beginning Feb. 16, 2026.
Heather read the agreement aloud during the meeting, which says the engineer will remain an Iowa County employee and that Tama County will pay $150 per hour for services, up to 16 hours per month, plus mileage. "The hourly requirements of T County Supervisors shall not exceed 16 hours," the draft agreement states. Board members moved and seconded approval and the motion carried by voice vote. Supervisors said a signed copy from the other county’s chair was expected to be exchanged after the meeting.
Board members said the arrangement lets Tama County access engineering support for federal- and state-funded projects, bridge reviews and permit responses without hiring a full-time engineer. One supervisor asked county staff to review the budget implications and ensure any needed amendments are completed ahead of upcoming grant and letting deadlines.
