NORTHWOOD — Worth County supervisors approved more than $856,000 in county claims Monday while also taking action on drainage work, a regional housing program and a manure management plan.
The Worth County Board of Supervisors met August 24 with Supervisors Enos Loberg, Mark Smeby and A.J. Stone present.
The board approved a work order for Drainage District No. 33 submitted by Jake Loken.
Drainage issues have been a recurring topic for Worth County supervisors this summer. NIT previously reported that supervisors levied more than $422,000 in drainage district assessments at their July 6 meeting.
Supervisors then approved $856,050.21 in county claims.
Two road-related payments accounted for a large share of that total.
Croell, Inc. was approved for $341,932.73 in engineering-related services, while Ulland Brothers Inc. was approved for $271,597.79 for rock.
Other substantial expenses included $53,295 to Bolton & Menk for conservation-related services, $40,295.28 to Liftoff, LLC, $23,805 to Metal Culverts, $21,586.88 to Knudtson Automotive Service and $18,130.45 to Heartland Business Systems.
The $53,295 Bolton & Menk claim comes shortly after another major Worth County conservation action. NIT reported that supervisors recently awarded the approximately $1.08 million Monarch RV Park implementation project to Wicks Construction of Decorah.
Monday’s $856,050.21 claims package also follows another large round of county spending earlier this month. NIT reported that Worth County supervisors approved nearly $733,000 in claims at their August 10 meeting.
Supervisors also approved payroll eligibility verification for Alyssa Peterson at $23 per hour as submitted by the county auditor.
The board approved the NIACOG Housing Trust Fund Local Intergovernmental Review Consultation.
Supervisors also acknowledged and placed on file an updated manure management plan for Pin Oak Farms/Vail Site #64527.
The regular session was briefly recessed at 8:51 a.m. and reconvened four minutes later.
The meeting adjourned at 9:27 a.m.
