SUBMITTAL DATE: 8-26-87

DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND:

A State Functional Classification Review Board hearing between the Iowa Department of Transportation and Osceola County and the City of Harris transferred jurisdiction of Iowa 238 to local authority upon completion of necessary repairs. Notice of completion of repairs was given to Osceola County and the City of Harris effective April 10, 1981.

Chapter 306.44 of the Iowa Code states that "transfers not executed as of April 1, 1981 shall be void unless mutually agreed upon by the parties involved". Since no mutual agreement has been worked out with Osceola County and the City of Harris our Legal Department has ruled the Iowa Department of Transportation has jurisdiction of Ia. 238. The official Description of Iowa 238 should be included in the Primary Road System to reflect this ruling.

Iowa 238 begins at a junction with Iowa 9, approximately one‑half mile south of Harris and travels north to Harris.

It is recommended to approve adding the description of Iowa 238 in Osceola County to the Primary Road System.
