Commission approves $11,275 electrical extension for impound yard; sheriff and solid waste to split costs
Summary
Broadwater County approved extending electrical service to the county shop and impound yard at 701 N. Cedar St., with Northwestern Energy charges totaling $11,275. The sheriff's office will cover $8,137.50 and the solid-waste department $3,137.50 per the recorded allocations.
The Broadwater County Commission approved a request to extend electrical service from Northwestern Energy to the county shop and impound yard at 701 North Cedar Street, with a total cost of $11,275.
TJ Gravely, public works director, told commissioners the extension became necessary after Northwestern Energy planned to reroute existing service; without the extension the Cedar Street site would not have power for equipment and lighting. Gravely said the project will also allow the sheriff’s office to move impound storage and install cameras at the Cedar Street site, improving security.
According to the transcript, the cost allocation presented to the commission was $8,137.50 from the sheriff’s office and $3,137.50 from the solid-waste department. A commissioner moved to approve the request and another seconded; the motion passed and the chair said Commissioner Rick Meyer’s signature would be obtained later.
Gravely described an expected construction timeline of “anywhere from four to six months,” with a probable completion by the end of the month, and said installing cameras will allow the county and sheriff’s office to consolidate vehicle storage and eliminate some external storage fees the sheriff’s office is currently paying. No contract number or additional procurement details were provided in the transcript.
