MASON CITY — Cerro Gordo County supervisors approved $370,285.53 in county claims, accepted an annual transportation report and forwarded a manure management plan update to state officials during a 14-minute meeting Monday, September 14.
Vice Chairman Carl Ginapp opened the meeting at 10 a.m. Supervisor Chris Watts attended, while Chairman Casey Callanan participated through Microsoft Teams. All recorded votes passed unanimously.
The largest individual entry on the claims list was $84,000 to Wellmark Blue Cross for purchased services. Other substantial entries included $45,400 to Reefcraft LLC under training, $24,500 to Card Custom Audio/Vi for equipment, $22,720.48 to River City Fence Com for repairs and $17,000 to the City of Meservey for equipment.
The claims report lists vendors, expense categories and amounts but does not provide detailed descriptions of those purchases.
Monday’s action followed the September 8 meeting, when supervisors approved $447,679.59 in claims and supported Mason City transportation funding efforts involving Highway 122.
County Engineer Brandon Billings provided an update, and supervisors unanimously accepted the fiscal year 2026 DOT Annual Report. The minutes do not include details from the engineer’s update or figures from the annual report.
The board also approved reports from the Environmental Health Service Manager concerning a manure management plan update for River Edge Farms LLC, site No. 69070, and directed that they be forwarded to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
Other business included approval of the September 8 meeting minutes and the payroll register for the period ending September 5. A public comment session was held, but the minutes do not summarize any remarks.
Supervisors adjourned at 10:14 a.m.
