The Carroll County Board of Supervisors is expected to approve the updated 2024 County Comprehensive Plan and move forward with a land gift to the City of Halbur during their meeting on Monday. The board convenes at 9 a.m. at the Carroll County Courthouse. The supervisors reviewed the proposed comprehensive plan, which was last updated in 2009, during their July 15 meeting. They chose to delay final approval by a week to allow additional input and complete further review. The council also tabled approval of a quit claim deed to the Halbur Ridge Wildlife Area at the July 15 meeting. The City of Halbur has requested the county donate the approximately half-mile strip of land for trail development, but the supervisors delayed approval to ensure the county would have first right of refusal. Other items of business on Monday’s agenda include bid approval for the planned shoulder grading on County Road M66 south of Manning, quarterly reports from the county recorder and sheriff, Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 payroll publication lists, and other routine business. The July 22 meeting is open to the public and will be live-streamed via the county’s YouTube channel. The complete agenda and links to the video are included with this story on our website.
