The Dallas County Board of Supervisors approved the Wellmark Consultant Fee Collection Agreement at their regular meeting Tuesday. 

The Board also approved the 270th Street Bridge Funding Agreement which will cost approximately $600,000, along with approving the preconstruction agreement for Interstate-80 improvements and Old Portland Road Overpass Bridge replacement. The construction project will be handled by the Iowa Department of Transportation and Dallas County will be required to maintain the detour while the overpass is closed. 

Finally, the Board approved an appointment for the Historic Preservation Commission, approved an amendment to the current fiscal year budget, following a public hearing on the topic. The amended budget hearing is required due to a previous error with publication of the budget. 

The Board also heard the final courthouse exterior inspection report and the cost for repairs were roughly $4.3 million, up from $2.8 million from the previous report due to material availability and changes in scope of repairs. The repairs include exterior stone, internal roof drains, roof, gutters and flashings among other repairs. The Board accepted the final report and the Board will now continue to discuss what to do moving forward.
