Board approves septic grant for Troy Olson Estate; cancels Titus completion item, hears DNR tree-removal request

The Palo Alto County Board of Supervisors approved a septic grant application for the Troy Olson Estate on Sept. 15, 2026. The action followed a motion by Craig Merrill, seconded by Keith Wirtz; the board’s standard recorded vote shows unanimous approval. The board also canceled the septic grant completion item for Darrell Titus from the agenda prior to approving other items.

In committee reports Supervisor Roger Faulstick noted a request from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to remove trees (DNR). The county record does not include further detail on the DNR request in the minutes; the board did not make a separate action on the tree-removal item during this meeting.
