The Dallas County Board of Supervisors met in regular session Tuesday.

At the meeting, a payroll change notice for the conservation department was approved as presented.  Recorder Chad Airhart then spoke with the Board about an addendum to the Cott Systems services agreement.  This will allow the County to index more pages while they are here installing the system this spring.  The additional image fee comes at a cost of $4,735, which will come from the Recorder’s management fund and have no budget impact.  The Board approved the addendum.

Wetland credit purchases were then approved as presented with 0.66 acres to the City of Ankeny, 038 acres to the City of Esterville and 0.63 acres to the Iowa Asset Acquisition, LLC.  Conservation Director Mike Wallace says this leaves the wetland credit balance at 5.95 acres that are not earmarked at this time.

A 28E agreement with the City of Urbandale for the County Treasurer to collect unpaid parking citations was then approved as presented.

A 28E agreement with the Beaver Creek Watershed Authority was then reviewed.  A Snyder and Associates representative presented the proposed agreement to the Board.  The 381 square mile watershed stretches between Greene, Boone, Dallas, Polk and Webster counties.  As we reported, the same agreement was also recently approved by the Perry City Council, along with several other jurisdictions.  This allows the Authority to apply for grant funding and the County to have a seat at the table.  The Supervisors took no formal action on the agreement, though it may come up again at a future meeting.

The Board then discussed assigned and unassigned space in County buildings. Design Alliance architect Jerry Purdy recommended going out for bid on the next step in the project at the human services renovation project next month. Construction bidding documents have been completed for the emergency management, kitchen and conference room portion of the project. Purdy reviewed diagrams with the Board and discussed various options for the space.

Purdy then shared an update on the human resources campus renovation project.  He says he recently went through the remaining punch list items with the new project supervisor and there are still several things that need to be addressed.

The Board voted to amend the agenda to include approval of pay application #11, which was previously stated as application #12.  The revised pay application was then approved in the amount of $72,692 to Larson and Larson Construction.
