Moved by Johnson, seconded by Northey to appoint Larry Traughber to fill the vacancy on the Dickinson County Trails Board as the West Okoboji City representative for the unexpired term of Dr. Kurt Eckard. All voted aye.

Moved by Northey, seconded by Allen to approve and authorize the grant application for the artwork project in the new courthouse to the University of Okoboji Foundation in the amount of $15,000 and to authorize the chair of the board to sign application. All voted aye.

Board reviewed the proposal from the Dahlquist Art Studio for floor medallions in the new courthouse building. The proposal would provide for two six feet in diameter medallions to be installed. These will include brass letters and joints, black stone or terrazzo field and 7 colors for the main body of the medallion. Medallions will be 3/8 inch thick to match finish floor, divided into 4 pieces, roughly pie shaped pieces that are split along lines that minimize grout lines, and grouted into place at a cost proposed of $20,700. It was moved by Jordan, seconded by Northey to approve the proposal from Dahlquist Art Studio and proceed with the project. All voted aye.

Sheriff present with a grant application on behalf of the SALT group. Following a review of the application, it was moved by Northey, seconded by Allen to authorize and approve the SALT grant application to the University of Okoboji Foundation in the amount of $10,000 for the replacement of ATV’s and to authorize the Chair’s signature. All voted aye.

Tom Bedell present to discuss recreational activities in the County and a proposal for the board’s consideration. The proposal is to hire a person that would collaborate all the recreational opportunities that are available in the County. That person would assist in marketing and providing information about the various opportunities available locally. Mr. Bedell indicated that his family foundation would provide funding for the position for the first year, it the county would take it over after that time. It was the consensus of the board to authorize Bedell to proceed with the concept of the County-wide recreation director.

County Engineer present. Moved by Allen, seconded by Northey to accept the recommendation and approve Project Number L-575 which is also known as a twin pre-cast 10’x10’ RCBC project on 160^th Street, or between section numbers 3 and 10 in Richland Township. 160^th Street will be closed during the construction of the Precast Culvert. All voted aye.

Moved by Jordan, seconded by Northey to approve and adopt the following RESOLUTION:

WHEREAS, Senators Rielly and Noble, Chair and Ranking Member respectively of the Transportation Committee, are seeking input concerning transportation needs with public meetings that are being held throughout the state; and

WHEREAS, the Road Use Tax Fund is an important source of support for construction and maintenance projects at the city, county and state level; and

WHEREAS, an integral part of that RUTF is the fuel tax, which has not increased since 1989, and during that timeframe construction costs have more than doubled; and

WHEREAS, the Iowa Good Roads Association, the Iowa County Supervisors Association, the Iowa County Engineers Association and a consortium of additional public and private individuals and organizations, has promoted the TIME-21 program (Transportation Investment Moves the Economy in the 21^st Century) to underscore that steady deterioration of the construction dollar; and

WHEREAS, TIME-21 supports the Iowa department of Transportation’s request for an additional $200 million added to the RUTF that would be committed to roadway infrastructure and would be generated by increasing transportation-related fees;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Dickinson County Board of Supervisors recognizes the vital role that our transportation system performs for Iowa and encourages the legislature to consider funding alternatives to increase revenue to the Road Use Tax Fund. All voted aye. Passed, approved and adopted this 27^th day of March, 2007.

Routine maintenance items were discussed by the board with the engineer.

There being no further business presented before the Board, it was moved by Johnson, seconded by Northey to adjourn. All voted aye.
