MASON CITY — The Cerro Gordo County Board of Supervisors approved major budget transfers, fiscal year 2027 appropriations, a bridge contract, airport road closures and a bid schedule for a planned Rockwell Secondary Roads building during its regular meeting on June 22, 2026.

Chairman Casey Callanan convened the meeting at 10:00 AM. Supervisor Chris Watts was present, while Vice Chairman Carl Ginapp participated by phone. Members of the public also attended.

The board first approved the day’s agenda and the minutes from the June 15 regular session. A public comment session was held, and supervisors approved county claims totaling $582,670.46.

Supervisors also approved the payroll register for the period ending June 13, 2026.

A major financial item was Resolution 2026-44, which approved operating transfers between county funds. The board ordered $3,043,914 transferred from the General Supplemental Fund to the General Fund, effective June 22, 2026. Supervisors also approved transferring $2,288,140 from the General Fund to the Capital Projects Fund.

The board then approved Resolution 2026-45, setting fiscal year 2027 supplemental appropriations totaling $45,916,290. The appropriations authorize departments and county officers to spend from their assigned funds beginning July 1, 2026.

Among the larger departmental appropriations were $11,717,400 for Secondary Roads, $11,118,237 for the Sheriff’s Office, $5,444,999 for the Health Department, $2,652,534 for Conservation, $2,555,365 for Special Projects, $2,251,257 for the County Attorney’s Office and $1,883,882 for IT.

County Engineer Brandon Billings provided an update during the meeting.

Supervisors also approved the use and temporary closure of 275th Street for two airport events.

The board accepted the low bid and approved contract documents for project BRS-C017(123)–60-17, a continuous concrete slab bridge project on 150th Street, 0.23 miles east of Lark Avenue over Beaverdam Creek. Through Resolution 2026-46, supervisors awarded the contract to Dixon Construction Company for $757,101.40.

Supervisors also approved Resolution 2026-47, setting the public hearing and bid schedule for the Cerro Gordo County Rockwell Secondary Roads Building project in Rockwell. Bids are scheduled to be received on July 14, 2026, at 10:05 AM at the Board Chambers in the Cerro Gordo County Courthouse in Mason City.

The board set July 20, 2026, at 10:00 AM as the time for a public hearing on the proposed plans, specifications, form of contract and estimated cost for the Rockwell project. Supervisors are also expected to consider bids received for the project at that meeting.

The meeting adjourned at 10:06 AM.
