MASON CITY — The Cerro Gordo County Board of Supervisors approved several road and infrastructure actions during its regular meeting on June 1, 2026, including work tied to the Rockwell Secondary Roads Maintenance Facility and a nearly $1.91 million resurfacing project on S34.

Supervisors Casey Callanan, Carl Ginapp and Chris Watts were present for the meeting, which began at 10 a.m. The board approved the day’s agenda, the minutes from its May 26 regular session and county claims.

A public comment session was held before the board moved into road and facility business.

The supervisors opened and closed a public hearing on plans, specifications, form of contract and estimated cost for the Rockwell Secondary Roads Maintenance Facility soil correction, grading and utilities project. The board then approved Resolution 2026-34, formally approving the project plans and cost estimate.

Supervisors also approved Resolution 2026-35, accepting a $257,985 bid from Cole Excavating Inc. of Greene for the Rockwell project. The board then approved Resolution 2026-36, approving the construction contract and bond for the project, subject to review by the board chair, county auditor, county attorney and project engineer.

County Engineer Brandon Billings provided an update before the board approved another major road item. Supervisors accepted a bid from Heartland Asphalt and authorized the chair to sign documents for HMA resurfacing project FM-C017(127)-55-17.

The board then adopted Resolution 2026-37, awarding the S34 resurfacing project to Heartland Asphalt Inc. for $1,906,120.09. The project covers S34 from 150th Street to 210th Street.

In other action, supervisors voted to rescind $20,000 previously set aside for grant support and reallocate that money to help pay an invoice for tree removal at the fairgrounds.

The board also approved fireworks permits for Sandra Paulsen and Lucky’s Last Resort.

The meeting adjourned at 10:24 a.m.
