Board of Supervisors - Open Session - October 13, 2026

At the October 13, 2026, Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors open session, the board unanimously approved an agreement with the Iowa Department of Transportation to accept a $15,000 Living Roadway Trust Fund grant for a wood chipper. The chipper costs approximately $64,000–$65,000, with the county covering the balance from its budget. The board also approved county funding for flu shots for part-time employees; no total cost was stated.

During public comment, a resident requested a thorough funding review for Lime Kiln Road improvements, including possible farm-to-market funds, grants, and other secondary-road resources. The speaker cited an approximately $899,000 project estimate and nearly $400,000 in projected maintenance and repair savings over 10 years, and asked that the realignment project’s limits be reconsidered; no funding decision was made. The meeting also noted a returning motor-grader operator hire and a planned closed session concerning a personnel matter.
