Tama County Supervisors met Tuesday morning, September 8, instead of Monday, due to Labor Day falling on Monday. Larry Vest was absent. County Engineer Lyle Brehm gave a road report stating bridge work was progressing as well as the grading project east of the city of Vining. The grading project was to raise the road as it sets down from the banks and is almost impossible for a semi or grain truck to pull up to the stop sign and then proceed, consequently few people stopped for the stop sign, causing a hazard. A request from the Meskwaki Settlement to close 340th Street west of Highway 63 for a couple of hours on October 21st was discussed. Brehm told supervisors it would be a matter of putting up barricades on both ends of the route they are requesting using. This would be for a Youth Program Run from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. The Meskwaki would be responsible for setting up the barricades and taking them down returning them to the Engineers building, and was agreeable to those from the Meskwaki settlement present. Brehm said they would need a Resolution to this effect. Supervisors ok’d the project but it will not be final until the resolution is received and approved. Friday, September 11th has been set for the School Board Election canvas. This will be held at 1:00 p.m. at the Board of Supervisors room. A Resolution was approved to set a public hearing to transfer county property in Traer to the city of Traer.
