Chairman Randy Bosch convened the adjourned session of the Lyon County Board of Supervisors with Modder, Michael and Koedam present. Supervisor Block was absent.
The minutes of the February 22, 2010 meeting were read. Motion by Michael, seconded by Koedam to approve the minutes. All “Aye” motion carried.
Jerry Nichols, Mayor of George, previous to the meeting today brought in a packet of information for each Supervisor to look over showing the City has applied for a Community Attraction and Tourism Grant with the Iowa Economic Development Department to fund for a new swimming pool. The citizens of George approved the Bond issue by 94.2%. A requirement of the CAT Grant is that the County contributes toward the project. After discussion we had a motion by Modder, seconded by Michael to sign a letter of support showing Lyon County will fund this endeavor in the amount of $2,000.00 and provide an in-kind contribution to the city of George to assist in the removal of the old swimming pool. All “Aye” motion carried.

Engineer Williams joined the meeting to discuss possible road projects. He said that during the budget process it was discussed that he was building a budget reserve to be able to do road projects in the future. Williams said that he has two projects scheduled for the 2011 fiscal year, a year from now and wondered if the Board would want him to see if he could move them up to this year. The projects that might be able to be moved up are overlay projects on A-34 west of George and on K-40 North and East of Lester. The projects have Federal Aid in them and would have to have State and Federal approval to move them forward. It is not known if this approval would happen. The Board tabled for further consideration. Williams also said that It was time to put in applications for Safety-Lu funding with the Regional Planning Commission in Spencer. He said that he will be applying for the 6 mile stretch of road South of Little Rock and if approved funding would be available in the Federal fiscal year of 2014.
Williams has hired Dave Jackson to work temporarily part time while Lyle Ver Hoeven is off work due to knee surgery. The pay will be $14.89 per/hr driving truck or loader and $16.89 per/hr driving maintainer.
