August 4, 2026 Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting

The Story County Board of Supervisors held their regular meeting on August 4, 2026. A key procurement-related activity was the bid opening for the Hannam's Mill Dam modification project, where three bids were received from Iowa Earthworks, Michaels Corporation, and R&W Excavating Solutions, with amounts ranging from approximately $695,000 to $1.48 million. The board indicated that the engineering department would review and tabulate the bids for further action. Additionally, the board approved a resolution for the purchase of a 35-acre property known as Asham Sedge Prairie through an 11-year installment real estate contract, funded by a donation, to preserve the land for public use. The board also approved revisions to the county's financial policies, including updates to the disposal policy for tangible assets and adjustments to the physical inventory threshold. Other agenda items included proclamations, agency reports, and approval of personnel actions, but no further procurement decisions were made during this meeting.
