County, Mid States continue talks over gravel/dust-control contract; attorney raised concerns about figures

Jackson County Board of County Commissioners · September 8, 2026

Summary

County Counselor Todd Luckman said Mid States' attorney objected to figures in a contract renewal for gravel and dust control; county, Todd and Mid States staff will meet to try to reach agreement and the county is asking the contractor to pay for material and application for dust control.

Todd Luckman briefed commissioners that contract renewal talks with Mid States over gravel supply and dust control remain unsettled because Mid States' attorney objected to figures in the draft renewal. Luckman said that he, Commissioner Keith Kelly and Mid States employees will meet the next day to try to resolve differences, and that one option under discussion is lowering the purchase threshold to adjust refund calculations.

Commissioners are requesting Mid States to pay for material and application for dust control. The minutes record that there has been no response to a proposed MOU on road maintenance with the Tribe; those negotiations are separate but related to county maintenance responsibilities.
