The supervisor said callers have asked for clarity about access roads, turbine placement and whether the project is following agreed maps. \"I just thought it'd be nice if we get in... the MidAmerican that was here. I'll have to go back. I think I have it. But if you want, I can reach out just to see if they'd be willing to give updates to us,\" the supervisor said.

The supervisor suggested MidAmerican provide updates on a regular basis (for example, every other week or by email) or offer site tours so county officials can answer constituent questions with current information. The board directed staff to reach out and arrange an update and to follow up on enforcement questions related to the county ordinance and project siting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Page County Board Meeting May 6 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Board members asked staff to invite MidAmerican or its project lead to provide regular updates on turbine construction and to confirm compliance with county agreements and siting maps.","taxTitle","taxId",28864,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6245075,"Board warned of roughly $300,000 cost to move 911 console; state to assist but county share expected",105,1659000,1764000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3227250-3e8c2ccfc6c1a2abfb5790896184dce3&start=1659&end=1764","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3227250-3e8c2ccfc6c1a2abfb5790896184dce3/thumbnail_1659000.jpg","/articles/6245075/Page-County/Iowa/Board-warned-of-roughly-300000-cost-to-move-911-console-state-to-assist-but-county-share-expected","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6245075-2b8ce885e445b1378bfabb65b6d61b7c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140692&Signature=XWPeE-UFL10RC3nSmRt1cAV339ZqyJiFWYSRyOYBDh-V0QsVsvpQXiG6iVVzcG7NESGnLc7gJqZ4bjFynHfD88rFeV-7taVB2nYztXE6YTuwxbmf-Dx7urCW6Tm3U0Djc9aTtWUCmP8hE4nXKGixn8um7dc-ODh6ooj5Ndkxg4ZWrgqoFyiAQhW5jcQ0sn0haSYnMGvOGHPiHXjNbyqvLZaPLAK5ThbMiibGf-fBc9i3g4hgfWW8jYbQ1qnbk~FK7b5Bps4J7tYo4LVF6ea2qM8BGWmhQwVqYT2x~JZ227j4uaYP66pnvmDuA1iUcLVPqklP4VdYOYP7pOJkqGbU6g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County staff warned supervisors that moving and upgrading the 911 dispatch console as part of the jail project will likely cost close to $300,000 and that the county will need to plan for its share of those costs.

A staff member said state partners will cover a portion of the upgrade and move and that Zetron is one of the vendors involved, but that the county still faces a substantial outlay: \"They're paying some of it, and we're still having to pay, I think, 93,000 for that,\" the staff member said.

The board discussed timing and financing options and noted the console relocation will occur when the jail is completed (the project timeline mentioned 2026). Staff said costs might be spread across budgets and that some vendor components (Motorola and other vendors) also require payment. \"It has to happen. It has to. Yes. By the state. It has to,\" one supervisor said about the relocation.

No formal funding decision was taken at the meeting; staff said they would keep the item in mind for the 2026 budget process and explore payment timing and potential state contributions.","Supervisors discussed planned relocation and upgrade of the 911 console tied to jail project completion; vendors include Zetron and Motorola and county staff estimate a county share of roughly $93,000.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6245081,"Supervisors set minimum bid of $42,500 for sale of county engineers building; public hearing May 20",447,1075000,1522000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3227250-3e8c2ccfc6c1a2abfb5790896184dce3&start=1075&end=1522","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3227250-3e8c2ccfc6c1a2abfb5790896184dce3/thumbnail_1075000.jpg","/articles/6245081/Page-County/Iowa/Supervisors-set-minimum-bid-of-42500-for-sale-of-county-engineers-building-public-hearing-May-20","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6245081-9417e29e5381accb0be72d34a487ea19/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140692&Signature=j6xLSDvCAoioSCEmeTKm9r9gHRwaeQ--w7ExfvTPdgl9IZrjy4YmSIG73lX0qeptk07Wa0DG6oUKOrqeQsaNw4RPacwAzAOqeUpAIl8jGu7aF0e5wvFWh9bdTvxeFRy0vbZQJoD9fori2rt6e6EW01A0e1S6H7a8OaGpMi8uCjoAgdm0CwzXdzkB5UpD42icpRPKYql6SjhfBln3R7paD3UZSOKyxL3h~SMpPyQLSJoUj37R9~NPv81OwjyT85YPzjjb3QnLO5wpILUgyOLOSGzbBMY01XGvnmTAjl244dzbULyO9Q5TuaRkUk2791x-zp36IcLc2ejChMlmyuOTug__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Page County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution setting a minimum sealed bid of $42,500 for the sale of the county engineer's building and scheduled a related public hearing for May 20.

Staff circulated a valuation estimate prepared by Jason (staff member), which suggested a value of about $52,140; the board debated whether to set the minimum closer to $40,000 or higher before settling on $42,500. \"We'll see how how it goes,\" one supervisor said after the board agreed on the minimum. The motion to set the minimum bid at $42,500 was put to voice vote and carried with affirmative responses from the board.

The resolution requires sealed bids to be submitted to the auditor's office by 1 p.m. on May 20, and the board will hold the public hearing at its May 20 meeting and then consider the bids at the subsequent meeting, consistent with the published notice and sealed‑bid process. Staff clarified the sale will be by quitclaim deed; the county is selling the building \"as is\" and will not update the abstract of title. The auditor will publish required notices; staff warned that rebidding with a new minimum would incur additional publication costs.

Staff also said interested parties can tour the property before bids are submitted and that the county will post photos and listing details on its website. The board gave staff direction to finalize the resolution and publish the public notice for the May 14 newspaper publication date.","Board approved Resolution 18‑25 to set a minimum sealed bid of $42,500 for the county engineer's building and scheduled a public hearing and bid deadline for May 20.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6245085,"Page County supervisors begin process to form temporary redistricting commission",363,541000,904000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3227250-3e8c2ccfc6c1a2abfb5790896184dce3&start=541&end=904","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3227250-3e8c2ccfc6c1a2abfb5790896184dce3/thumbnail_541000.jpg","/articles/6245085/Page-County/Iowa/Page-County-supervisors-begin-process-to-form-temporary-redistricting-commission","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6245085-49d4daf7584c5578649fed08e58fe46f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140692&Signature=LlGycNkrHvDETVPKwrsp5TVZPLP61TMOUj5JF9K2cRuftqAqqaXZblYr1gAPr-BKv-25BMSbVvkpoRfn5wvoxREo9LAB4218VSzZi3mYXaynKaW-sv5Q~~ZKMYyxmQVYOzYHKDBuePd7cG-MyEI5MEKdViSKKyshybIRIMyJYyS~DZyyvAkjCfSuhdXba~ylFK-G9-eCrMAZHClaT32BGVDtRS7zp2O3vB1EWLCj~gpdfnB8hWGBLhesv71HJdygAOqS2o8Irk635B2iwGKBE1bDjferLeVyhHfucptAK07mtWy21rRPGIhl~55rcCyVJKGzJGuolKyDVlyRVsldLA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Supervisors discussed establishing a temporary County Redistricting Commission and asked party central committees to provide nominees ahead of next week's deadline to meet state timing requirements.

Kristen (staff member) summarized statutory steps and said the board must appoint the commission after party chairs nominate members: \"the chair of the county central committee for the parties are the ones that will, appoint them,\" she said, adding that she had contacted Jennifer Harrington for the Democrats and Brian Whip for the Republicans.

Board members and staff said a five‑member commission is the likely choice. \"So we'll have to have 5. It'll be 3 Republicans and 2 Democrats,\" Kristen said, noting that Page County is a supervisors Plan 2 jurisdiction, which elects supervisors at large who live in a district.

Kristen told the board there is a statutory timeline: once members are chosen the commission will work from the federal census data to divide the county into five equal‑population districts by Dec. 15, 2025. She emphasized the process requires public hearings and will affect precinct assignments and voter records maintained by the auditor's office.

No formal appointment vote was recorded during the meeting; staff said they expect to place a resolution on next week's agenda to complete the appointments and begin the public process.","Board discussed forming a five‑member temporary county redistricting commission under Plan 2, asked party central committees to nominate members ahead of a May 15 deadline.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6245090,"Contractor says jail construction on track; precast erection expected late May",215,89000,304000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3227250-3e8c2ccfc6c1a2abfb5790896184dce3&start=89&end=304","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3227250-3e8c2ccfc6c1a2abfb5790896184dce3/thumbnail_89000.jpg","/articles/6245090/Page-County/Iowa/Contractor-says-jail-construction-on-track-precast-erection-expected-late-May","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6245090-87e161650570021a6d22ef9e18d45b3d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140692&Signature=Ke0EsEjL1wCPPkhrNgWgoCZcZoBsLx6TcsbGoxqHO7jfLzmGYtLbTpS7YRmCPZsc~pHe2-1xQk1vtoHG1wK10EdCDqzbqxWSn74dzQZ0WcvjTEGB5rdMym9CVuAX7wYEXFbwL-8h4zGLaOA3iOoucod6iarDjQvrJFQJnnfGDHhCLKs2zCkbywRKSHl5t93W7ZFT5noTjVXtqFkYxAo4mqIoQegczgjZI-CBYMlozDD3qaebbJHxPSJg2QbfhHpIheHMtanuf8m~vh7V7qJ7MN0nrWAwa1j7wvHiqBNBbMky59gRaoViRTWaD6KIL5PeKHwlXaIFdERxWjkhLrcYMg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jeff Curtis with the Sandals Group told the Page County Board of Supervisors on Wednesday that construction of the new county jail is progressing and that crews expect to begin precast panel erection at the end of the month.

The update said foundation work continues, electricians are installing underground conduit and plumbing contractors are addressing drainage and toilet clearances inside the facility. \"We are currently still trending to be setting precast end of this month,\" Curtis said.

Curtis described site logistics for precast erection, saying crews will establish a controlled access zone during lifts and that a crane will likely arrive the latter part of the week before erection begins. \"When we start with our precast erection, we will have meetings with all the folks on-site so everybody understands ... this is where, unless you're part of the erection crew, you're not allowed in this area,\" he said.

Curtis also reported the county did not receive a bid for the fire suppression sprinkler system during the original procurement and that the team will reissue bid documents; he said four companies have expressed interest. \"We never did get a bid on that this time of this go around. So the plan is to carry and get that bid document out,\" Curtis said.

On schedule and budget he said activities are \"tracking really well\" with projected financials, though he did not provide line‑item figures. He described routine requests for information between contractors and architects for plumbing and structural clarifications and noted that weekly photo reports and Procore daily logs are available to supervisors.

The presentation included safety measures: Curtis said large wall panels may weigh in the neighborhood of \"22, 20 5 thousand pounds\" and reiterated a three‑strike PPE enforcement policy for workers who do not follow safety rules. He invited supervisors to schedule site tours through the job trailer.","Sandals Group update: foundation work, underground utilities and precast panel erection scheduled; fire‑sprinkler bid outstanding and site safety controls planned.","actionData","errors"]
