The available packet material for the August 4, 2026 meeting primarily contains the agenda for the Floyd County Conservation Board rather than a detailed Floyd County Board of Supervisors packet. The meeting is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. at the Fossil & Prairie Center lower level and focuses on conservation operations, natural resource management, board business, property matters, agreements, and community recreation programs.
Key issues scheduled for discussion include review and possible action on a draft Floyd County Conservation ordinance, firewood sales at Tosanak, an update regarding the Tosanak DMZ Hunt, and review of a potential Smith Property donation. These items relate to how the county manages conservation resources, public lands, and outdoor recreation opportunities.
The agenda also includes several operational decisions, including review of an agreement with the Mohawk Archery Club, consideration of selling a 2008 Chevrolet 1500 vehicle, and a presentation by Cole Hansen Brick & Tile. These discussions appear intended to guide conservation programming, partnerships, and management of county conservation assets.
The packet does not provide detailed financial figures, contracts, ordinance language, or supporting reports for these agenda items. The briefing below summarizes only the information available in the agenda document.
Major Discussion and Action Items
Floyd County Conservation 2026 Ordinance Draft
The Conservation Board is scheduled to review and potentially take action on a draft 2026 Floyd County Conservation ordinance. The agenda identifies this as an old business item requiring review and possible action.
The packet does not include the draft ordinance text or explain proposed changes. Community members interested in the ordinance would need to review the final draft or discussion materials provided during the meeting to understand specific changes, affected locations, enforcement provisions, or implementation timelines.
Because conservation ordinances can establish rules for public lands, recreation areas, and natural resources, any changes may affect residents who use county conservation properties.
Tosanak Firewood Sales and Property Management
The board is scheduled to review and discuss firewood sales at Tosanak. This item concerns management of resources at the Tosanak conservation area.
The agenda does not provide pricing, revenue information, operational procedures, or proposed changes. However, discussion may address how firewood resources are managed, whether sales continue, and how the activity supports conservation operations.
Residents who use Tosanak or other county recreation areas may be interested in any changes affecting access, resource use, or seasonal activities.
Tosanak DMZ Hunt Update
The board will receive an update regarding the Tosanak DMZ Hunt. The agenda lists this as an old business informational item.
The packet does not provide details about the hunt program, schedule, participation numbers, or management decisions. The update may provide information about past activities, current conditions, or future plans for this conservation program.
Smith Property Donation Review
The Conservation Board is scheduled to review and potentially take action on a Smith Property donation.
The packet does not identify the property location, size, donor information, financial value, or proposed future use. Additional discussion during the meeting would be needed to understand whether the board intends to accept the donation and how the property would fit into county conservation goals.
Property acquisitions or donations can affect future public recreation opportunities, land management responsibilities, and conservation planning.
Mohawk Archery Club R-100 Agreement
The board will review and potentially take action on a Mohawk Archery Club R-100 Agreement.
The agenda does not include the agreement terms, duration, financial obligations, or responsibilities of each party. The discussion may address continued cooperation between the county conservation system and the archery organization.
Community members interested in recreational partnerships may want to review the agreement details once available.
Sale of 2008 Chevrolet 1500
The board is scheduled to consider the sale of a 2008 Chevrolet 1500 vehicle.
The agenda does not provide the vehicle condition, proposed sale method, estimated value, or expected revenue. The action appears related to management of county conservation equipment and assets.
If approved, the sale would remove the vehicle from county inventory and could provide funds or reduce maintenance responsibilities.
Cole Hansen Brick & Tile Presentation

The packet does not describe the subject of the presentation. Additional information from the meeting will be needed to determine whether the presentation involves conservation projects, materials, partnerships, historical resources, or another topic.
