Finance Director Susan Deaton said higher autopsy fees may put the Medical Examiner over budget, so this transfer will be made between departments in the same Service Area, and will be reversed when the budget is amended.
Country View Administrator Dennis Coleman asked that the Board authorize payment of $3000 to Brighton Consulting and Davis & Brown Law Firm to petition the Iowa Legislature and Governor’s Office to reconsider the Medicaid rates Country View receives. He said since Country View has a clientele similar to the state institutions at Glenwood and Woodward, it should be reimbursed in the same fashion. If this is accomplished, the facility would at worst break even, he said. Were the Board to approve his request, Coleman said he would contact Sunnycrest Manor in Dubuque, the only similar county facility in the state, to see if they would participate and split the cost.
BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED the Board authorize payment of up to $3000 to Brighton Consulting and Davis & Brown Law Firm to petition the Iowa Legislature and Governor’s Office to reconsider the Medicaid rates Country View receives.
Laylin suggested that Finance Director Susan Deaton attend the presentation. Coleman said she is well aware of the circumstances.

The Board of Supervisors held a work session on the replacement options for the Cedar River Bridge located on Cedar Wapsi Road/Highway C57 presented by County Engineer Cathy Nicholas and Assistant County Engineer Ryan Brennan. Alternate #1 would be 677 feet long and 40 feet wide, would be built on the site of the current bridge, would be 3.4 feet higher than the existing bridge to accommodate flood flows, would reconstruct 1300 feet of roadway, would be closed to traffic for the duration of the project (probably two years) and would cost an estimated $6.5 million. Alternate #2 would be 690 feet long and 40 feet wide, would be built 55 feet south of the existing bridge, would be 3.9 feet higher than the existing bridge, would reconstruct 2700 feet of roadway, would leave the existing bridge open to traffic for most of the construction time, and would cost an estimated $7.3 million. Both bridges would have a six-foot wide pedestrian path underneath the west end to access County Conservation property.
Alternate #1 would displace two acres of right-of-way and would require the replacement of 1.5 acres of wetland. Alternate #2 would displace five acres of right-of-way and require the replacement of three acres of wetland. An archaeological study found an artifact near the proposed site for Alternate #2, and the State Historic Preservation Office will determine if the site is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. If so, the county would have to avoid the site or recover all the artifacts in the area, which would cost an estimated $25,000-$50,000. The county is required to coordinate the project with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and the US Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure it does not adversely affect any threatened or endangered species. Over sixty area residents attended a public input meeting on 11/2/16. The twenty written comments received from the public all favor Alternate #2, so that the existing bridge can remain open as long as possible. Detour costs to the public (considering travel time, fuel and maintenance costs) would amount to over $1 million, and closing the bridge for two years would have a significant impact on area farmers that have property on both sides of the river.
Nicholas and Brennan said they recommend Alternate #2, and presented two funding options. Option 1 uses $3.4 million in federal bridge program aid, $1.0 million in local construction funds, and $2.9 million in state farm-to-market road funds. They said this option would drastically reduce the amount of paving and bridge replacement projects for several years. Option 2 is to bond for the full $7.3 million. They recommended Option 2. Little recalled that the Board intended to use half the proceeds from the county’s share of the increase in the state gas tax for the project, and asked how much that was. Nicholas said that using those funds for this bridge would defer other necessary road work. Little said sometimes projects need to be prioritized,
White said the difference between Alternates #1 and #2 was a lot to prevent a six-mile detour, and asked what the vehicle count for the bridge was. Brennan said about 1000 a day. Magsamen asked if flood patterns would change due to construction. Brennan said the bridge will be higher; thus the 100-year flood plain would stay the same. Schwartz asked about the disposition of artifacts. Brennan said they are donated to the University of Northern Iowa. Magsamen asked if a combination of existing funds and bonding could be used. Finance Director Susan Deaton said she thought a bond project may have to be fully covered by the bond amount, but she would check. She said that bonding for the project over ten years starting in FY19 would keep the county’s debt service at the current level for the next five years, barring other bonding.
The Board discussed other future projects and their relative necessity. Nicholas and Brennan said they needed a decision on which bridge alternative and which funding option the Board supported as soon as possible in order to make timely plans for this and other projects. They said they would come back with a revised proposal as soon as Deaton learned what is possible under the law.
