The Sac County Board of Supervisors met in regular session with all members present, Jim Wissler, Chairman, presiding. The minutes of the last meeting were approved as submitted.
It was moved by Wilhelm and seconded by Drake to approve the agenda as posted. Ayes all, motion carried.
During the public input session, Steve Dahm addressed the Board regarding the flashing lights on the newly erected wind turbines in Sac County.

The Board referred the question to the County Engineer at a later time in the meeting.
The Board met via telephone conference call with the Calhoun County Supervisors and Brian Blomme, the three County Drainage Engineer, to discuss follow-up on proposed improvements to Joint Drainage District 7 & 59. It was moved by Drake and seconded by Cooper that Scott Jacobs serve as chairman for the meeting and Robin Batz serve as secretary. Ayes all, motion carried.
Brian Blomme reviewed the conversation from the last meeting and stated that the landowners were in favor of the project and would like to see a pre-construction reclassification schedule for a more accurate estimate of costs to individual landowners.
It was moved by Cooper and seconded by Wilhelm that Brian Blomme be named Engineer for the project. Ayes all, motion carried.
It was moved by Drake and seconded by LeGore to direct Brian Blomme to prepare a letter to landowners describing the reclassification process and a schedule of the reclassification. Ayes all, motion carried.
It was moved by Cooper and seconded by Wilhelm that a notice be sent to all landowners in the district to request a wetlands determination on their property in preparation for the improvement project. Ayes all, motion carried.
The meeting of the trustees for Joint DD 7 & 59 was then adjourned.
The County Engineer updated the Board on activities of the county road crews and the status of current maintenance and construction projects. The Engineer and Mr. Dahm discussed the lights situation on the wind turbines. The engineer said he would contact the authorities and discuss the lights with them and then would call Mr. Dahm.
The Board reviewed the resolution regarding authorizing a loan agreement and providing for the issuance of a $300,000 general obligation emergency communications equipment note. The agreement called for the annual installment to be paid on July 1st of each year. The Board suggested that the date be changed to July 31 due to the fiscal year beginning on July 1. The dates for the annual payments as well as the new amortization schedule will be changed and approved at the next regular meeting.
With there being no further business, on motion, the meeting was adjourned.
