Supervisor flags failing scale at Sergeant Bluff landfill transfer station; county staff asked to investigate
Summary
A board member reported the scale at the Sergeant Bluff landfill transfer station is no longer serviceable; the board asked county administration to determine responsibility for replacement and report back.
A supervisor reported a scale at the landfill transfer station in Sergeant Bluff is failing and likely beyond repair. The board asked county administration to review the contract arrangements with the operator of the transfer station and determine whether the operator or the county is responsible for replacing the scale.
Supervisor Carper described prior checks of the scale and said the device is no longer serviceable; he asked County Attorney Joshua (surname not provided) and county staff to investigate contractual responsibility and return with options. No formal motion or vote was taken on funding or replacement.
Why it matters: A functioning scale is necessary for accurate tonnage reporting, billing and landfill operations. The board asked staff to clarify responsibilities and next steps.
Outcome: Staff directed to investigate replacement responsibility and report back; no procurement or funding action was taken at the meeting.
