The Wright County Board of Supervisors met briefly May 6. The only significant item of business involved amending the current fiscal year budget for Secondary Roads.
The budget amendment, which will be sent to the Iowa Department of Transportation, included increases in consultant fees, bridges and culverts, and equipment operations. There were decreases reported in several areas, including snow and ice removal, traffic controls and construction.
In other business, the board:
—heard that the sheriff’s department collected over $2,000 in mileage, weapons permits and copier fees last month;
—approved a liquor permit for the Belmond Area Arts Council during the Antique Power Show in August;
—heard that Auditor Betty Ellis applied for a grant for up to $800 to help pay the registration fee and mileage for Katie Schlichting to attend medical examiner investigation training in Ankeny;
—approved the second reading of the amended floodplain ordinance;
—and tabled action until May 13 on additional uses for American Rescue Plan Act funds at the Resource Center.
