Abstract
County road department managers are challenged with knowing what Iowa laws apply to their daily jobs. Drainage, construction and maintenance liability, low water crossings liability, and rural subdivisions to just name a few. Knowing where to find the actual code sections that apply and maybe more importantly the applicable case law is very difficult for local managers. Several IHRB projects were completed around 1980 to address some of these issues. Many laws have changed and new cases have gone thru the courts since 1980 that effect county road departments. The goal of this project would be to create a comprehensive updated resource document for local road department managers to know which Iowa law sections and case law that apply to county road departments. This project is just compiling existing law and court decisions, not issuing legal opinions on issues
