Clay County Board of Supervisors Packet Summary — 2026-08-28
Meeting Title: Board of Supervisors Meeting
The packet contains an agenda for a regular session of the Clay County Board of Supervisors. The agenda schedules consideration of routine county business along with property nuisance, general relief, FY 2027 funding, drainage-district repairs, housing support, personnel matters, a wage settlement, and a future public hearing.
Key Items on the Agenda
Joint Drainage District #61 FEMA Repair Bids
At 9:30 a.m., the agenda schedules a conference call involving the Clay County Board of Supervisors and the Dickinson and Emmet County boards concerning Joint Drainage District #61 and Joint DD #61 Branch 61 FEMA bid awards.
The boards are scheduled to consider and potentially approve bid repair estimates for Joint DD #61 and Joint DD #61 Branch 61. The packet does not provide the bid amounts, contractors, or detailed scope of the proposed repairs.
FY 2027 CAASA Funding
At 9:15 a.m., CAASA Executive Director Stephanie Henrich is scheduled to appear before the board regarding reconsideration of FY 2027 funding.
The agenda identifies the funding question but does not state the amount requested, the county's existing funding level, or a specific recommendation.
Langdon Property Nuisance
At 8:45 a.m., Brandy Chaffin is scheduled to request an update concerning the Langdon property nuisance.
The packet provides no additional description of the nuisance, its status, or any proposed board action.
County General Relief Update
At 9:00 a.m., Rebecca Goeken is scheduled to present a County General Relief quarterly chart update.
The agenda does not include the underlying chart or figures, so the packet supports identifying this as an informational update but does not provide specific program or financial results.
Financial and Administrative Items
The board is scheduled to consider several financial and administrative matters:
- Claims, drainage claims and payments, with a resolution listed for board approval.
- Certificates of Adjustments #2399 and #2400.
- Authorization for the chair to sign a Local Match Pledge Letter supporting the NWIA Regional Housing FY 2027 Trust Application.

- A disputed wage settlement.
The packet does not provide dollar amounts or detailed terms for these items.
Public Hearing and Governance Items
Meadow Creek Addition
The agenda calls for the board to set a date and time for a public hearing for Meadow Creek Addition.
This agenda item concerns scheduling the hearing; the packet does not provide a proposed hearing date or additional details about the addition.
Zoom Meeting Registration
The supervisors are scheduled to discuss Zoom meeting registration. The packet does not specify a proposed change or policy, so no particular outcome is indicated.
Committee and Board Reports
Supervisors are scheduled to discuss or share information from committees and boards they have attended. No specific committee reports or proposed actions are included in the packet.
Routine Board Business
The agenda also includes opening the meeting, receiving the agenda as proposed or amended, and handling minutes associated with Meeting #27 dated August 18, 2026, as well as special meetings dated August 24 and August 27, 2026.
The meeting concludes with an adjournment item.
