Buena Vista County Supervisors Take Up Marina Transfer and Subdivision
The Buena Vista County Board of Supervisors held a special session on December 9, 2025, addressing a slate of land use, infrastructure, and administrative items that could affect local roads, property development, and Storm Lake operations. The agenda included action items on a gravel stockpile lease, a management and title transfer agreement for Storm Lake Marina, and a minor subdivision resolution, matters that have direct implications for residents, property owners, and local businesses.
The Board of Supervisors met in a special session on December 9, 2025 at 8 30 A.M. in the boardroom and via GoToMeeting to consider several action items and scheduled reports. The agenda listed appointments with Engineer Bret Wilkinson to present a Secondary Roads report and the proposed gravel stockpile lease, County Attorney Paul Allen to discuss a possible closed session under Chapter 21.5(1)(c) regarding strategy with counsel, and Environmental Health and Zoning Director Ben Mueggenberg to present a minor subdivision application for Mark and Pamela Caboth.
Key action items on the agenda included motions to approve the gravel stockpile lease, to approve the minutes of the December 2, 2025 meeting and accept submitted reports, to approve a Management and Title Transfer Agreement for Storm Lake Marina, and to adopt Resolution 2025 12 09 A for a minor subdivision on parcel NE NE 26 91 38. Reports submitted for review and acceptance included the December 2025 Safety Meeting minutes, Board of Health minutes for September and November 2025, and the November 2025 Sheriff report. The agenda also provided an option to adjourn into the regular session scheduled for December 16, 2025.
The items before the board carry tangible local impacts. A gravel stockpile lease affects road maintenance priorities, hauling traffic and dust in agricultural and residential areas, and the budgeting of secondary roads resources. The management and title transfer agreement for Storm Lake Marina could change operational responsibility for the marina, with potential effects on boating access, local recreational revenues and businesses that depend on lake tourism. The minor subdivision petition for the Caboth property will determine future land use, zoning consistency, and property tax treatment for land within the NE NE 26 91 38 quarter section.
The agenda noted the meeting was accessible by phone and online, enabling remote public participation. With the board having taken up these items on December 9, residents, property owners and stakeholders in Storm Lake and rural parts of Buena Vista County should follow the December 16 regular session for any final actions or further discussion.
