(Spirit Lake)– There was more discussion at today’s (Tues.) Dickinson County Board of Supervisors meeting regarding the future of what is now the current secondary roads facility properties in Spirit Lake. The Iowa Great Lakes Sanitary District presented a formal offer to purchase one of the buildings for equipment storage. However, Sheriff Greg Baloun told the supervisors the same building was promised to him years ago for additional storage. Supervisor Kim Wermersen said he feels it should go to the sheriff based on that…
Fellow supervisor Tim Fairchild suggested some other buildings at the site be torn down and a new one constructed for the sheriff’s storage…
Fairchild also suggested some land owned by the sanitary district near the new county shop in Milford be thrown into the mix. He says the value of the gravel at that site could help offset the cost of new construction. But supervisor Chairman Bill Leupold says he’s hearing concern from those who feel the county is spending too much…
The supervisors expressed no interest in the offer from the Sanitary District, suggesting they look at other buildings at the current secondary roads facilities in Spirit Lake and see if they might be interested in making a new proposal.
