June 9, 2026 Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting

The Story County Board of Supervisors held their regular meeting on June 9, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. Key procurement actions included approval to release bids for the asphalt resurfacing of the Justice Center parking lot, with a budgeted amount of approximately $246,000 but potential bids up to $320,000 due to rising fuel costs. The board also considered options for sustainability projects involving solar arrays at county facilities, weighing cost implications and funding uncertainties after the indefinite suspension of a USDA solar grant program. They ultimately moved forward with a no-cost solar array option at the Human Services Center, deferring more costly projects. Additionally, the board approved a $2,000 facade improvement grant for the city of Slater and discussed ongoing capital projects such as HVAC equipment replacement at the Human Services Center and completion of the Rangehouse project. A minor subdivision plat for Walnut Creek Estates was approved, and temporary administrative oversight of the Environmental Health Department was transferred to the Board of Supervisors. The meeting included updates on housing trust programs funded by ARPA and literacy initiatives, but no direct procurement actions were associated with those reports.
