Board authorizes interim engineer contract to finish two reports

Tama County Board of Supervisors · August 31, 2026

Summary

Supervisors authorized hiring interim engineer Nick Amlon to complete two important reports that are due mid-month; staff estimated the work will take 0.5–1 day at $200 per hour and the contract will return to Iowa County for final signature.

The board discussed the need to have two reports completed — the annual report and a bridge report — because there is no current county engineer in place. Staff reported contacting Nick Amlon, who previously served in an interim capacity for a neighboring county, and said Amlon estimated the work would take roughly one half to one full day at $200 per hour.

Chair explained the contract would be signed by the board and then sent to Iowa County for their approval; supervisors concurred that contracting with a known interim engineer would avoid DOD penalties for missing required engineer filings. The motion to approve the contract and authorize the chair to sign carried unanimously.
