Commissioners approve Midwest and Sherman Electric right-of-way permits, and haul-route pact with Warner Construction
Summary
The board authorized two utility permits for pivot wiring and approved a haul-route/road‑use agreement for Warner Construction related to state work along U.S. 92; all motions passed by roll call.
Keith County commissioners authorized two permits allowing electric contractors to occupy county right of way for pivot wiring and approved a haul‑route agreement for Warner Construction related to state highway work.
The board approved authorization for the chair to sign the permit for Midwest Electric to trench a wire through the county right of way for an irrigation pivot near West County Road C and West 40. County staff noted the work is limited in scope and the permit fee is $200.
The county then approved a similar permit for Sherman Electric to trench wiring for a pivot on County Road West F near the south feedlot pivot; that permit also carries a $200 fee.
Separately, the board approved a haul‑road agreement with Warner Construction for work on U.S. 92. County staff said Warner will use defined outbound and return routes that avoid Keystone Lake Road to limit damage to recently restored sections; the board agreed to do an inspection and document road conditions before and after work.

Ending: County staff said they will document the Warner Construction haul routes and perform inspections before and after heavy hauling. The permits carry the standard $200 right-of-way fee.
