Board approves FY27 five-year county plan with DOT (CFYIP); maintenance projects excluded

Mills County Board of Supervisors · April 21, 2026

Summary

Supervisors approved the county's FY27 five-year CFYIP program with Iowa DOT; the county engineer noted DOT guidance discourages programming ordinary maintenance items in the CFYIP.

Mr. Jacob told the board the county's five-year plan (CFYIP) follows DOT guidance and should not include routine maintenance projects.

"This also is just the five-year plan with the DOT, and they specifically in their instructions do not want us to program maintenance projects in there," Jacob said. Supervisors moved and seconded approval of the FY27 county CFYIP program and recorded voice approval.

The engineer emphasized the plan is a programming document that influences which capital projects the county pursues with DOT funding; routine work such as pavement markings and seal coating is not supposed to be listed in the CFYIP per DOT instructions.
