Dr. Jim Bullock, Sac County EMA Coordinator, discussed an exercise in emergency management regarding a contaminated confinement feeding operation. In the multi-county exercise, Sac County could not produce GIS information locating the animal confinement feeding operations. The EMA Director and the County Auditor will work together to make that information available.
At 11:00, the Chairman opened the public hearing, as advertised, to consider vacating parts of Quincy Avenue near the new highway 20. The County Engineer presented maps showing the proposed areas of Quincy Avenue to be vacated. There were several interested parties present, including a representative from Raccoon Valley Rural Electric Co-op, a farm manager from Stalkup Farm Services, a private land owner and Chris Bass, Sac County Conservation Director. Mitch McKeever with Raccoon Valley REC explained that some new underground cable and several poles had already been installed after a conversation with the DOT and that that equipment would be very difficult to relocate if the road sections were vacated. Others in attendance voiced concerns about drainage issues and access to their respective properties.
The County Engineer offered to gather more information about reclassifying Quincy to a Level B road and how much of Quincy Ave is actually in the Highway 20 right of way.
It was moved by Stock and seconded by Hecht to continue the public hearing until October 4, 2011 at 11:00 when the additional information can be presented. Ayes all, motion carried.
The County Engineer updated the Board on activities of the county road crews, the status of current maintenance and construction projects and highway 20 construction as it pertains to secondary roads.
With there being no further business, on motion, the meeting was adjourned.
