The Dubuque County Board of Supervisors approved multiple routine resolutions and permits at its first 2026 meeting.
Zoning staff presented two final plats (Vanderhar Farm Subdivision and Culbertson Place); both were approved following brief presentations noting property ownership and zoning commission recommendations. The board approved a resolution to hire deputies, assistants and clerks (including three positions for Sunnycrest and one for IT) and approved the 2026 designation of official county newspapers (Telegraph Herald, Dyersville Commercial and Cascade Pioneer).
The board adopted annual resolutions related to the county engineer’s duties (including execution of certificates of completion), and approved routine transportation and road‑maintenance items: issuance of weight restrictions, road closures, moving permits, utility permits and dust control permits. The board also approved plans and specifications for HMA resurfacing on New Mallory Road (project FMD‑C031, 131‑55‑31) and the DNR master matrix related to confinement feeding construction (annual review/approval).
All items on the consent and action agendas were approved by voice vote; the transcript records "ayes" but does not provide a roll‑call tally for individual members.
