Speaker 1 (00:03):
With keys and WEBCA five News. I'm Tom Robinson. Well.
On Monday, another round of stormy weather swept through parts
of Iowa, mainly in northern asole of an Isle. Weather
Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning for casts A Dare,
Automon and Guthrie Counties. It's a strong storm with rotation
moved through the central and northern portion of Cass County.
(00:24):
Rotating clouds were reported near Lewis and Ema, and the
public reported rotation south of Anita, prompting a tornado warning
now where there were no confirmed reports of an active tornado.
The National Weather Service reported high wind guests knocking out
tree branches and nickel sized hail three miles west of
Anita and one half inch of rain. The storm moved
(00:44):
northeast into extreme southeast to Automony County, dropped three quarters
of an inch of hail in a Dare, and proceeded
into Guthrie County, where it eventually died out. Four castors
are calling for another chance of rain on Wednesday. Five
candidates are on the ballot for today's City of Lewis
special mayoral election. The five candidates for the positioner Christopher
John Cky, Anthony L. Sorbello, Jeffrey Witt, Russell L. Miller,
(01:08):
and Nancy Sirika Jones. The polls open at seven they'll
close at eight at the Lewis Community Center. Retal police
arrested thirty six year old to Cody Land Hudson on
Monday in the one hundred block of East Market Street
for domestic abuse of sult First Defense officers transported him
to the Montgomery County Jail and held him on obond.
City of Atlantic continues to work on the Comprehensive Plan initiative.
(01:31):
Valley Trail's president, Dave Chase and his group were invited
to provide input on trails, recreational, pedestrian and bicycling opportunities
in Atlantic. Chase says their organization's goals are similar to
those drafted in two thousand and seven, twenty fifteen. In
twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Because there's plans and plates as to how trails within
the City of Atlantic can be improved and connected with
one another.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Chase these connections are complete and need to be promoted
in cooperation with the Park and Recodvisory Commission. They want
to get some leverage into the city's Comprehensive Plan regarding
bike trail usage and bike ability in Atlantic. The first
draft of the comprehensive plan has those items in it,
and Chase says the short term goal is connecting trails
(02:20):
to the Atlantic park system.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
We got ten parks in the city of Atlantic and
connecting those parks and getting out to Scholburg Scholburg Quarry
Recreation Area which already has established recreational trails and has
been connected with the Atlantic municipal utilities well Field that
(02:42):
also have trails in that area.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
And Dave Chase says those initiatives that were accomplished by
the efforts of many people led by Dishedi Valley Trails
and Atlantic municipally utilities, and no city money was involved
with those projects. He says, various grants are available to
improve and enhance those connections.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Not only are we asking to get included in the
planned but to make an investment in these types of
amenities that we already have.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
And Dave Chase says, many of these things in the
short term or low costs, like bike lanes and wayfinding signs,
including connecting east Ridge Park on twenty second Street to
the trail that will be developed in the new Cabin
Hills Housing Division because there's.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
A design trail, recreation and pedestrian trail through that development
to connect with har Holt Park, which is the beginning
of the Bull Creek Pathway. These can be done. There's
a block or so street that you have to go on.
We'd make that safe with bike lane and advisory signs,
(03:52):
but those things.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
That's an example of what I want to Dave Chase says.
The goal is connect the T Bone Trail to Atlantic
Nishi Valley Trail once to make Atlantic a destination for
the T Bone and the Great American Rail Trail, which
covers thirty seven hundred miles through twelve states, including Iowa.
The T Bone Trail is on that route. Meanwhile, Iowa
was home to two thousand miles of the multi use trails.
(04:16):
We'll discuss economic impact of multi use trails with day
Chase on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Well.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
During a Tuesday report to the Board of Supervisors, Montgomery
County Auditor Jill Azuna indicated that the counties computer server
experienced one hundred percent CPU usage when it went offline
on April eighth and ninth. CPU usage is off an
each sign of the processors level of stress.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
They are not certain yet what exactly caused this to happen.
They're still researching that, but possibly due to ICN and
fiber line migration that took place between four to three
and six pm on April eighth. There was there also
may have been an Internet outage that caused part of
the backup replications.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Oh it was in a noted that several servers experienced
corption after the server reboot because of the abrupt shutdown.
She says that after the servers were back online and stabilized,
power was accidentally disconnected from one due to the relocation
of a battery backup unit. Now, the power cable was nudged,
(05:22):
which caused another abrupt shutdown, which christ the primary courthouse
a server.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Due to the size of the server amongst the programming issues,
the restore of the server took ten to twenty five hours. Unfortunately,
the first restore after eleven hours, had failed. The second
restore was successful after twenty plus hours.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Now Asuna says that currently they are reviewing the network
infrastructure and implementing changes so if an issue like this happens,
it will not impact the county as much and will
reduce the turnaround time.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Right now, it was all in one plate, and they're
going to separate it out into several different plates, basically
so when a crash happens, it doesn't all land on
one one thing, and spread it out between several so
that we don't have such a long turnaround time. It's
going to take time.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Another action the supervisor set May twenty seventh to nine
to fifteen am for the fiscal year twenty twenty five
budget amendment. The board also proved the Treasure's March thirty
first annual report, which showed an ending balance of twenty million,
seven thousand, three hundred and eighty three dollars and twenty cents.
Well last week GOT three account engineer josh See Burns
(06:30):
amid his five year construction plan, which included a number
of different projects to be done in the county. At
Tuesdays Supervisor meeting, it was decided to which projects would
go first. Chris Varney has this report.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
The supervisors voted unanimously to repair a fourteen mile stretch
or County Road P twenty eight before other projects. It
came down to P twenty eight versus an eleven mile
stretch of White Pole Road. Sea Burns says that no
matter what the supervisors decided to do, it was a
win win.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
And one thing I would want to add is there
is no wrong answer here and that's why we're I
wanted to discuss this. There's no right answers, no wrong
answer system matter for it's what goes and how we
do the funding. Three million dollars in highway funding is mns.
That's a large amount of dollars that really can't be ignored.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
The P twenty eight project is not eligible for federal funds.
It would be paid from a bond, but the White
Pole Road project can be partially funded with a federal
grant that accounting must apply for through Congressman zenc Nun's offense.
They would not find out the results of that application
process until the fall. So Supervisor Chair Maggie Armstrong says
(07:44):
it's time to do something now.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
My concern is waiting to do anything puts us in
a bad spot. With spending the grand dollars could potentially
put us in a spot fond, sorry, we'll go bond dollars.
Listening to the timeline, I can understand why, especially seeing
there's opportunity for grand dollars to be able to leverage
(08:07):
bond dollars. In the same regard, We've got roads and
bridges that are failing, and so we need to get
those repairs and reconstruction done. And I don't want to
sit and wait any longer, especially when the repercussions could
be having to pay bond dollars back.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Supervisor Mike Dixon says it makes sense to do the
P twenty eight project first.
Speaker 8 (08:34):
I get more complaints now, wife will rose more of
a seasonal complaint now, and P twenty it's.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Every day. Yeah, isn't every day every day?
Speaker 8 (08:48):
So seeing some of that get done, whether it's a
corner of it, all of it, whatever, is showing that
we are doing something about it.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
The Pea twenty eight construction project will go into this
upcoming FY twenty twenty six budget, while the White Pole
Road will go to next year's f Y twenty twenty seven.
There are still some revisions to be made to the
overall five year construction plan and it'll be voted on
at the next supervisors meeting. Reporting for King Som and
(09:19):
cam Study five News, I'm Chris Varney.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Chris, thank you very much. Maria Torres Health Equity Coordinator
with Pottawanamee County Public Health was recognized at the Pottawamee
County Board of Supervisors meeting this morning. Matt Wyre, director
of Planning and Development, informed the supervisor's dad to Maria
Torres recently received two state level awards, the twenty twenty
five Iowa Public Health Hero Award from the University of
(09:44):
Iowa College of Public Health and the Outstanding New Volunteer
of the Year Award from the Alzheimer's Association of Iowa.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Both awards recognizing her service and contributions to public health.
These awards are a significant honor not only to Maria personally,
but also to our entire department and the county. Individual
recognition at the state level as a testament to the
caliber of work being done here at a local level,
and it reflects the culture of excellence, accountability, and the
(10:13):
dedication within our team. When a staff member is recognized
in this way, you know it strengthens the reputation of
our department, It motivates our team, and it increases the
public confidence and the services that we provide. It also
showcases the value of investing in our staff development and
the positive outcomes that result from supporting and empowering our
public servants.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Wine Express is pride of re and his gratitude of
the board for the continued support of both the programs
and their people doing our fisheries. Bologist John Lorenzo is
getting reports from anglers fishing for crappie.
Speaker 9 (10:47):
It's going yep. It is definitely worth getting.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Out lards, it says. Good reports from Viking Link, particularly
the Pontoon Seawall area.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
If you're familiar with Viking, there's a pond that we
call the Pontoon area. It's the seawall area adjacent to
one of our boat ramps that pontoons dock. Throughout the year,
you can cast off that Pontoon Area seawall and this
last week we had a nice warm sunny day, I
think it was Tuesday. People were catching a crappy on
(11:17):
every cast.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
The Lorenzon says, a crappier cover up and spawning. You're
about to spawn. He says. Anglers use small jigs tip
with a small piece of worm artificial or reel under
a bobber about two feet. An angler reported catching twelve
inch crappy in nine plus inch bluegills at prairie rows.
Other places to try for crappy would be a little
Field and Anita. Lorenzen says Little Field have the highest
(11:42):
crappie catch rates last year according to the DNR's annual surveys,
and he anticipates that to be the same this year.
He says the best place to finish is the dam,
in particular the Northwest Corners. Croppies like to spawn near
there and catch rates can be good once they're staged
up in the shallow water Crappies spawned typically occurs in
(12:02):
the spring, when water temperatures reach the low sixties. The
spawning period can last several weeks, with males building nests
and shallow sheltered areas before females arrive the lay eggs.
The exact timing can vary depending on location and water conditions,
but generally ranges from late March to mid May. I'm
Tom Robinson. Have a great afternoon.
With keys and WEBCA five News. I'm Tom Robinson. Well.
