Woodbury County Board of Supervisors 11-10-2026

At its November 10, 2026 meeting, the Woodbury County Board of Supervisors approved, 5–0, the next steps in the Crittenden Center Transitional Therapeutic Home renovation procurement, a CDBG-supported project. After closing the public hearing with no public comments, the board authorized its office to open bid submissions on December 1 and approved a 4:40 p.m. meeting that day to consider recommending a contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. The board also approved a utility permit for MidAmerican Energy for work already underway in county right-of-way; supervisors did not impose a fine, but discussed possible future utility-permit fees to cover county review and inspection costs. The county engineer may bring forward a fee proposal.

The board also unanimously approved purchasing a 2027 Ram 5500 from Edwards Auto Group for the weed commissioner. The agenda states a price of $78,006.81, while the discussion cites Edwards’ quote as $78,681.10 (and Woodhouse’s as $84,416); the truck was budgeted as a replacement for a 24-year-old vehicle with over 190,000 miles. Other approved financial actions included interfund transfers of $4,015,012 for Law Enforcement Center bond payments, $87,456.43 to reimburse the Local Option Sales Tax fund for conservation projects, and $139,180.56 for the Southbridge interchange’s upcoming interest payment. The board also approved participation in the Albertsons national opioid settlement and adopted secondary-roads policies to replace provisions from the decertified union agreement. No contract award for the Crittenden renovation was made at this meeting.
