VIDEO – Sac County Supervisors Agree to look deeper into sharing cost of providing dust control for fixed income resident

SAC CITY, IOWA – MAY 4, 2010
These are not quotes

1. The policy in Sac County is that we don’t subsidize dust control unless we deem it extraordinary circumstances.
- The only time the county has paid for it is when it is county gravel trucks.
- I’ll have to have a decision today because I’m paying for it Friday.
- What oughta be down is that a hard surface road should be put it.
- I bet there’s more traffic by me.
- In this environment, nobody is building hard surface.

2. Would it be prohibitive to go back to oil roads?
- It was all removed back in the 70’s.
- It almost becomes a hard surface road.

3. County Engineer joins the conversation and is brought up to date.
- Crawford County does the work but then bills Sac County.
- 500 feet will cost $200.00 twice a summer.



- I guess I don’t know the history.
- The cost never goes down, but the percentage they pay may stay the same.
- We don’t have trucks traveling past there.
- There’s a fair amount of truck traffic by there too, and they all drive like it’s the Indy Speedway.
- Crawford Maintains the roads, but bills Sac County for the dust control.
- I told the supes you could solve it all if you hard surfaced the road.
- They must have an option to put cutback asphalt on? We’ve never done that.


- There’s more traffic on that road…
- It’s a road the general public uses a lot, but I don’t think that’s it’s a road the county uses.
- Maybe if you pay for the first one, then we can discuss it, and maybe the supes will pay for the second one, or reimburse you.
- Is there a 28E that makes Crawford County responsible for that road?
- It’s hard to do on a fixed income when it keeps going up.
- Who bills you for the dust control?
- What’s Calhoun’s policy on general dust control? Around 20%.
- See if you can make it retroactive.
