September 1, 2026 Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting

The September 1, 2026, regular meeting of the Story County Board of Supervisors in Iowa included several proclamations, budget discussions, and public hearings. The board proclaimed September 2026 as National Voter Registration Month and Suicide Awareness and Prevention Month, highlighting community outreach efforts and volunteer involvement in voter registration and mental health support. Budget amendments were presented, showing an overall increase in revenues and expenses primarily due to grant carryovers and capital projects, including secondary roads and conservation efforts. The board approved a drainage tile easement with Gorum Sterling Farms to maintain infrastructure under the Heart of Iowa Nature Trail. Additionally, the board authorized the placement of signs marking the geographic center of Iowa, with an estimated cost of about $100 per sign. Personnel actions and consent agenda items were approved without opposition. No new contracts or vendor selections were discussed, but the budget amendments and infrastructure easement reflect ongoing county capital and maintenance activities.
