The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors convened on March 17, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including infrastructure improvements and budget planning for the upcoming fiscal year.

One of the primary topics was the approval of an application from MidAmerican Energy to replace four deteriorating utility poles along 180th Street. The board unanimously approved the motion, ensuring that the necessary infrastructure upgrades would proceed without delay.

Additionally, the board set a public hearing for March 31, 2025, at 9:00 AM to discuss the fiscal year 2026 secondary road budget and the five-year program. This hearing will allow community members to ask questions and provide input on the proposed budget and projects. The board emphasized the importance of public participation in the budgeting process, which must be submitted to the Iowa Department of Transportation by April 15.

In another significant decision, the board reviewed quotes for pavement markings for the year 2025. Local Traffic Services, a contractor with a long-standing relationship with the county, submitted a quote reflecting a slight increase in costs. The board acknowledged the price adjustment and expressed confidence in continuing to work with the established contractor.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the board's commitment to maintaining and improving county infrastructure while ensuring transparency and community involvement in fiscal planning.
