(Greenfield, Iowa) – The Adair County Board of Supervisors today (Wednesday), approved a Courthouse snow removal bid from Jason Brewer, in the amount of $225 per snow event. That was the only bid that was submitted. The Board agreed to sign-on to the ISAC (Iowa State Association of Counties’) Soil Compaction Project. Auditor Mandy Berg explains what the agreement entails.

(The study looks at moisture content in soil around pipeline construction. It will determine when construction has to stop on pipelines based on the moisture content of the soil. The analysis will be done by the State of Iowa and the cost of the project is $51,098. ISAC is looking for $600 from each county to pay for the study.)

There are currently plans for three companies to build carbon sequestration pipelines across 70 counties in the state. And again, the study could help reduce damage to property from construction equipment when the soil has too much moisture in it, regardless of what type of project is involved.

The Adair County Supervisors acknowledged and approved the 2022 Weed Commissioner’s Annual Report from Nathan Jensen. And, they approved a 28-E agreement for the maintenance and repair of primary with the Iowa Department of Transportation. The agreement is renewed every 5-years, or whenever there are major changes to the agreement. County Treasurer Brenda Bird said the agreement, which was looked over by Adair County Attorney Melissa Larson, has very little changes this year.
