Department Locations

The Board of Supervisors is required by Iowa state law to hire a licensed, professional civil engineer. Although the County Engineer oversees road and bridge construction and maintenance work, and advises the Board of Supervisors on matters relating to the secondary road system, it is the Board of Supervisors’ responsibility to set broad policies which provide direction for the day-to-day operations of the Secondary Roads Department.
