Supervisors hear road maintenance and shoulder work updates

Tama County Board of Supervisors · August 31, 2026

Summary

County road staff reported thistle spraying, shoulder work on blacktops (D55, T55, T47), hydroseeder deployment and staffing changes — the board heard the report and had no objections to proceeding with scheduled work.

Agency official (roads) reported crews were spraying thistles on the east side and had started shouldering work on several blacktop routes (D55, T55, T47). The hydroseeder was out and ready to begin on ditch work; staff noted a blade was taken and there will be one open position on the crew, with applications to be taken if no bid is received for a truck scheduled to retire Friday.

Chair and other supervisors asked clarifying questions about machine operation and bid opportunities; staff confirmed some diggers had been repaired and that ongoing work would continue next week. The board did not change the planned maintenance schedule and accepted the status report.
