Dakota City, IA – The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors have set a date for a hearing on the sale of the Rutland Dam to the City of Rutland, along with land around the dam.
At Monday’s session, the Board of Supervisors along with Humboldt County Conservation Director Todd Lee decided on February 24 at 9:00 a.m. The hearing will be held at the Humboldt County Courthouse in Dakota City during that week’s supervisors’ session.
It was back on January 16 when the Humboldt County Conservation Board in a unanimous 3-0 vote approved a resolution on the transfer of the Rutland Dam to the City of Rutland, pending the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors approval.
The resolution, which gives the City of Rutland control and management of the Rutland Dam and property at 301 4th Ave S in Rutland was the first step in the process for R.I.V.E.R. Development Group, Inc. to take over management of the dam acting as a betterment committee for the city. The transfer is for $1 from the city to the county.
