Fremont County's claims document for September 2022 lists four separate vendor-claim batches that together total $1,001,240.02, including a $293,144.37 charge to Mount Farm Drainage LLC and a $189,857.70 charge to Vanguard Appraisals Inc., the claims ledger shows. The entries are recorded across county funds including General Basic, Secondary Road, Rural Services and the Co. Assessor Agency Fund.

The document presents four grand totals for September claim batches: $419,725.56; $182,569.82; $283,831.14; and $115,113.50. Adding those four batch totals yields a combined amount of $1,001,240.02, computed from figures shown in the provided claims listing. The listing does not include deliberations or a recorded vote on the claims in the excerpt provided.

Large single payments that appear in the ledger include: Mount Farm Drainage LLC — $293,144.37; Vanguard Appraisals Inc. — $189,857.70 (shown under Co. Assessor Agency Fund); Iowa Department of Economic Development — $108,391.00 (listed under General Basic Fund); Schildberg Construction Co. Inc. — multiple entries across funds (examples shown: $20,739.91, $33,720.44, $17,608.41); and Mount Farm Drainage’s large entry appears in proximity to other Secondary Road and flood/drainage related listings. The claims listing also shows payments to service providers and vendors frequently used by county operations, such as Freightliner Truck Center Co., MHC Kenworth, JEO Consulting ($16,348.77), and SW Iowa Planning Council ($4,798.00 and other entries).

The ledger groups charges by county fund: examples in the listing include General Basic Fund, Rural Services Basic Fund, Secondary Road Fund, Co. Assessor Agency Fund, E911 Surcharge and Joint Disaster Service Fund. Insurance and administrative charges appear as well: IMWCA (workmen’s compensation insurance) is listed at $10,544.00 in the excerpt, and Auxiant appears under medical/health charges and employee health contributions in multiple entries.

The claims listing supplied does not show meeting discussion, individual speaker remarks, motions or vote tallies tied to approval of the claims in the excerpt provided. Where vendor payments are shown next to a fund name (for example, Vanguard Appraisals Inc. appearing under the Co. Assessor Agency Fund), the article reports that placement as shown in the document and does not assert additional allocation or policy context beyond what the ledger itself shows.

The document is a record of vendor charges and fund classifications; it does not explain the purpose of every large payment (for example, whether a contractor payment is for a completed project, progress billing or a retainer), nor does it attach invoices or contracts in the supplied excerpt. Further details and any formal board action on the claims would be available in the county meeting minutes or full claims packet.

For transparency, the figures in this article are drawn directly from the claims listing supplied: the four batch totals were added to produce the combined total reported; where the claims list shows a vendor next to a fund name, that association is reported as shown in the ledger.
