This week’s Tama County Supervisors meeting started with a public comment discussion on the current traffic in the county and the detours dictating said traffic. When they moved on to the actual meeting, they kicked it off with the roads report, stating that rock is being hauled and chloride is being put down this week.

There was some discussion when it came to the IDOT preconstruction agreement. A few weeks ago, the supervisors approved going forward with the cheaper rumble strips over the pricier mumble strips for the project. There was a slight stumble in the paperwork regarding the rumble price, which was mixed with the mumble price. The supervisors let out a slight grumble over the rumble mumble price jumble, but remained humble, and didn’t crumble, as they fixed this bumble. With the altered price, the agreement was approved.

An amendment to the engineer’s DOT budget was approved.
