Trustees recorded that Wright County is the controlling county for the joint district and that the district will recoup the cost through its assessment process.

The reimbursement motion was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote. Trustees also approved a drainage claim for Mountain Movers (invoice referenced in the record) and approved minutes from recent drainage‑trustee sessions.

The trustees spent time discussing a separate work order on a lateral in Drainage District 36 where contractors began work under an estimate that was initially below the county’s $50,000 threshold for requiring a formal engineer’s report. Additional work uncovered during construction increased the projected cost past that threshold. Trustees expressed concern about paying for a full engineer’s report after work had already been performed, and asked county legal counsel to advise on next steps. The item was placed on the agenda for the next drainage meeting for further information and a possible informational meeting with affected landowners.

Courtney Morris, drainage administrator, presented the invoices and background for the Joint Drainage District claim and the Mountain Movers invoice. County auditors and trustees confirmed that when a non‑controlling county inadvertently pays a joint district invoice, the controlling county reimburses the expense and the district’s classification and assessments ultimately cover the cost.

Trustees instructed staff to consult legal counsel about procedures for engineer reports and cost allocation when work begun in good faith later triggers the $50,000 reporting requirement. No final policy change was adopted at the meeting; trustees agreed to revisit the matter at the next drainage meeting.

Less consequential routine business approved during the drainage meeting included reading and approving the Dec. 16 and Dec. 17 drainage minutes and adjournment of the drainage trustees session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Wright County Iowa Board of Supervisors December 23, 2024","oneSentenceSummary","Wright County drainage trustees voted to reimburse Hamilton County $4,546.89 for an invoice Hamilton County had paid in error for Joint Drainage District 61‑99.","taxTitle","Wright County, Iowa","taxId",47114,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6692774,"Wright County Board approves appointments, road project plans and wellness agreement; several routine motions carried",166,741000,907000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2171497-6e52a0bfbf29ed58605ac23d5a0d00f7&start=741&end=907","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2171497-6e52a0bfbf29ed58605ac23d5a0d00f7/thumbnail_741000.jpg","/articles/6692774/Wright-County/Iowa/Wright-County-Board-approves-appointments-road-project-plans-and-wellness-agreement-several-routine-motions-carried","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6692774-421856ca76b150cad4d03c7d032e19a9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770640808&Signature=fpc4e~t8GmW9xDPFHlvhi7EyzPXF43c8M-p6nfGaLdqDGEnbFQ8AbP6uRleXK~KRbeiYai9DcmdQGfxSKn5iNXdjjv0ZcHn4kv9SbnnipDSqtsvFMpLQmzKL8B0Dps1tmdFFYt53Q9ZRPqZtKSYXhBFCsyMN2kDmi7NRmwrr59DwOa93b0kGDNbgI7wyL4yuXGvw3mWBUyvgIfMDDib2Ol-GYZI4RCuNeXkWdJSpU1Kg9wUZKpNZWj3WGNgmfV8VzeR7bcNmocSxkQHsT681dA1vkPO1aLGQ8JWJLPPSfITglw4~7M7UwGLscoDja85eY0JmxY77FyKzONBC7ugkzA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wright County Board of Supervisors approved a slate of routine administrative and road‑project actions and authorized continued participation in a county wellness program during its regular meeting.

Among the votes, the board appointed Greg Crowley as the county veterans affairs commissioner to fill an unexpired term through June 2025. The board approved posting for a patrol operator at the Dallas maintenance facility and accepted final plans for multiple secondary‑roads projects, including resurfacing and a reinforced concrete box (RCB) culvert replacement. The board also approved a final retainer payment of $20,618.98 on a resurfacing project (FM‑CO‑99 (104‑55‑99)).

The board reviewed a report from the secondary roads department and approved routine claims and minutes. Supervisors also voted to continue Wright County’s participation in the Iowa State Association of Counties (ISAC) wellness program; county representatives reported that wellness participation reduced fiscal‑year‑end 2024 health premiums by $86,966 and that the county will receive a 5% discount on health premiums for the fiscal years ending 2025 and 2026 through the ISAC program.

Most motions were moved and seconded with voice votes recorded as “ayes” and no roll‑call tallies recorded in the transcript. Several agenda items were tabled for further budget review, including a funding request related to regional juvenile detention services that will be considered during the next budget cycle.

Adam Clemens, Wright County engineer, presented the secondary roads update, including recent work orders completed, sand and salt stock movements, and equipment procurement updates. Supervisors noted assistance to conservation on ash‑tree removal at Lake Cornelia and said bills related to that work will be invoiced to the conservation department.

The board adjourned after completing the agenda.","The Wright County Board of Supervisors approved an appointment to veterans affairs, several road‑project final plans and payments, posted a patrol operator position and authorized continued participation in the ISAC wellness program with the related premium discounts.","actionData","errors"]
