Members of the Exira-Elk Horn Kimballton School District’s Board of Education, this week, approved a Conveyance of Real Estate, with regard to the old Exira Elementary School Building Property. Exira-EHK High School Principal/Superintendent Trevor Miller told KJAN News after the school sold the property to an individual, it retained the right to have a say what was built on the property. Now, the purchaser’s plans have changed.
He says the buyer’s plans to construct a Senior Care Center have changed, therefore they want to sell the property to another person. The school board agreed to step away from that process and allow the transaction to take place without further delay. Miller says he understands the land may be used for condominiums or other form of housing.
He says it may be single-family housing or a duplex, maybe even a model home, to try and attract people to the community, and see what kind of interest there is in the community and area for more housing. Miller said the football sound system was also approved. He said there’s a bid in for an amount, which was capped, but allows for other options, so that it could be installed when the Press Box is done, before the first football game of the season takes place next month.
Miller said also, they’re looking at putting in new carpeting in the main area of the Elk Horn High School and Elementary area. The current carpeting is 15-to 18-years old and is starting to bubble. The hope is to have it replaced before school starts.

AMES – The Iowa Department of Natural Resources forestry bureau, working in coordination with the US Forest Service has grant money available for Iowa’s rural fire departments to help battle wildfires. The grants offer funding assistance for wildfire suppression equipment, slide in units, hoses, nozzles, adapters, portable tanks and pumps, personal protective equipment and communications equipment.
Additionally, if a fire department has a special need that can be tied directly to wildfire suppression, this grant allows for such special requests. The grant provides 50 percent reimbursement for wildland fire equipment with a maximum reimbursement grant of $3,500 per department.
Gail Kantak, DNR state wildland fire supervisor, reminds fire departments that they should send her a Wildland Fire Report whenever they respond to a wildland fire or provide assistance to a prescribed or controlled wildland fire. Departments actively returning these reports can receive priority points in the Volunteer Fire Assistance grant application scoring process.
“It is important for rural fire departments to return these reports so we can assess the actual demands on our rural fire departments as a result of wildfire activity,” Kantak said. “The wildland fire reports are compiled locally and nationally and reported to Congress.”
The Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant applications are due October 15, 2016. In mid-June, fire departments were mailed information about the Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant. The grant application package and the Wildland Fire Report form are also available online at www.iowadnr.gov/fire.
