\"We have some big water leaks at some of the, Rat Park, and then I think there's another 1 at Pierce Creek. And the 1 at Rat Park, they cannot find, and it's losing a lot of water because they're tied into the city,\" the supervisor said, adding the suspected leak may be under a creek and would require digging a quarter‑mile of pipe.
The supervisor said park staff have also had repeated equipment failures: \"She ended up spending, like, $3,900 on the John Deere\" to fix one mower. She urged parks staff to provide monthly updates and not to hesitate to ask the board for help, noting contractors' failure to commit start dates has delayed work on an Inonoway Valley Park road and bathroom renovations funded by grant money.
The supervisor also said recent tornadoes caused tree damage that the parks department lacks the equipment to clear. She encouraged the parks director to meet monthly with the board or to notify supervisors when contractors or grant timelines are at risk.
No formal action or funding allocation was made at the meeting; supervisors instructed staff to maintain communication and to return with updates as needed.

\"All the erection activities that are going on are still happening in Fremont right now. It's probably gonna be the August now, we're thinking, for the components to arrive in Page County,\" a MidAmerican representative said, reporting foundation work, rebar and excavations are under way.
Kelsey, a MidAmerican project representative, addressed construction‑traffic controls and equipment: \"We do use rollers any place we, make changes to the gravel...as we make those changes, disturb that dirt, the roller just helps compact and make, that road tight and ready for both the regular travel and those turbine component deliveries.\" She added that turbine components generally travel from the interstate directly to their individual sites under DOT permits, rather than all routing through a single laydown yard.
On federal clearances, Kelsey said the project \"got some of the FAA permits\" but not all FCC approvals; she described recent technical issues between the two federal agencies' websites that have delayed the final step. \"We are filing kind of the last step for that FCC process, which includes, like, a 30 day notice period. And so we're hoping to get results from the FCC here in the next 30 to 45 days, which will be the last piece before we, apply for, like, the building permit, entrance permit, and, utility permits associated with that tower,\" she said.
Board members asked whether turbine deliveries had been passing through town; MidAmerican staff acknowledged deliveries have come from both east and west and said DOT permits govern interstate hauling. No formal county permits were approved at the meeting, and staff did not present a proposed change to county policy or an item requiring a vote.
","MidAmerican Energy representatives told the Board that foundation, rebar and excavation work is underway for a wind project in Page County, turbine component deliveries could continue through August, and final FCC/FAA clearance is expected within 30–45 days before building and utility permits are sought.",{"_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},6166684,"Page County engineer outlines mid‑July repairs, M‑41 chip seal and J‑64 subgrade fix",455,61000,516000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5415166-a2d2788e8f1276cce18effecf482f158&start=61&end=516","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5415166-a2d2788e8f1276cce18effecf482f158/thumbnail_61000.jpg","/articles/6166684/Page-County/Iowa/Page-County-engineer-outlines-midJuly-repairs-M41-chip-seal-and-J64-subgrade-fix","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6166684-ef2e8a2d3c601708dc07e7d8dc8bcf42/orig.mp4?Expires=1770524489&Signature=U8MgxcNPl-ZUwx497XKlmush5kVZNyX5i1KSTX7BJLlP6iSfryg1n7OLHzWgtFBWzeO~vNwppUzb4QvrNDgWFBMJ7wmNC0Tgfa7xmmTdLByMWCFNCSk0glm1I-u0Ql~elb6IuXvcOtf1TCPK8fm1tW4NOerT3s890EPbjdPS2fAw3C0DQ4p-onNUwKlvEaPsTV3HocCH7A-8cP9CKkei00rcTBNLS7jQRHJG-i0j92Pz~1OUPlX9QsAgNKAc~GYGZMzqFl4yV1s90DR4Cw9QiVZzq6hLCcigLOoZcjmBFMcRcbHOhUArqdyFuerwbbvl6yrV6Ep7uArUR8OWMn6EoA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","JD King, the Page County engineer, told the Board of Supervisors the county will place a fog seal on a six‑mile stretch of E Avenue (M‑41) in mid‑July and will close the road briefly on the day of application.
\"I'm gonna put a false seal on M 41, which is E Avenue between 2 And 1 Fiftieth Street,\" King said, adding that crews will close the road at 8 a.m. and reopen it in the afternoon \"based on the humidity\".
King said county crews and contractors are finishing riprap and site cleanup and that guardrail crews were scheduled to arrive the following day. He reported ongoing shoulder work, patching and gravel repairs in several districts and that the fiber company helped complete splicing to wrap up an unspecified project.
On J‑64, King described a particularly weak section where concrete pieces \"just squishes up and down.\" \"We're gonna take some special measures and put in the French drain, outlet that to the floor shield, trying to get the water out of that,\" he said, noting crews previously installed a longitudinal subgrade in the same area but that water still appears to be entering the pavement subgrade.
Board members asked whether the distressed J‑64 section needs more than patching; King said the county must first remove and fix the problematic subgrade before overlaying it. He also reported vehicle and equipment maintenance issues, including a sign truck the county plans to replace this fall and a fuel‑pump repair expected to finish by Thursday.
The board discussed a small crack in a bridge approach where contractors used a low‑grade repair material; King said staff will inspect and follow up. Board members asked about gravel left by truck turnarounds in Essex; King confirmed crews would clean chipped rock and parking areas when site work is complete.
The update included routine project closeout work and references to coordination with the Regional Planning Agency technical committee and weather‑dependent scheduling. No formal vote or directive on capital funding or contracts was recorded during the engineer update.
","County Engineer JD King told the Board that crews will chip‑seal six miles of E Avenue (M‑41) in mid‑July, install a French drain and make special subgrade repairs on J‑64 where concrete is failing, and complete riprap and guardrail work as weather allows.","actionData","errors"]
