(Red Oak, Iowa) – Montgomery County Auditor Jill Ozuna reports the Board of Supervisors in her county will meet at 8-a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 30th, in their courthouse meeting room. The only thing of note on their agenda, is continued discussion with regard to a Pipeline Engineer, and action as necessary.

Last week, the Board voted to go with Snyder and Associates Engineers, as the company to conduct pipeline inspections, in advance of a proposed $4.5 billion pipeline in Iowa and four other states that would capture carbon dioxide at ethanol, fertilizer and other industrial agriculture facilities, liquefy it under pressure, then transport it via the pipeline to North Dakota, where it would be permanently sequestered underground. The pipeline would (if approved), traverse about 18 miles in the western third of Montgomery county.

At 8:45-a.m., Tuesday, the Montgomery County Board will attend one of Senator Charles Grassley’s 99 County tours. His stop will bring Grassley to Agri-Solutions. Ozuna notes “There is a possibility that there will be a quorum. No official county business will be acted upon during that time.”
