Summary
At the Jan. 13 Linn County Board of Commissioners meeting the board approved routine minutes and several contracts and expenditures, amended a claims payment to withhold a juvenile detention charge, and approved funding for road equipment repairs and landfill survey and engineering services.
The Linn County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 13 approved a series of routine and project-specific items, including an amended payment of claims, a contract for tax-sale services, repairs to road equipment and professional services for landfill engineering work.
The board amended a motion to pay claims to remove a $5,241 charge to the juvenile detention center while staff checks the county's prior notice and cancellation status; the amendment passed by voice vote. Linn County Treasurer Janet Craven asked the board to sign an agreement with Kalinda Osterman to handle the county's foreclosure/tax-sale processing; the board approved using Osterman for the tax sale.
County Public Works staff won approval to spend up to $6,000 to repair a CAT D6 dozer (unit 114) after the department reported the machine needs radiator work and other maintenance. The board also approved survey work for landfill perimeter berms and drainage (Cornerstone Regional Surveying, LLC, $3,800) and a supplemental services allocation for Terracon, to be paid from ARPA/SLFRF funds (up to $65,699.10) to support landfill expansion planning and related technical services.
Other routine actions included appointing representatives to the eCommunity board and agreeing to advertise for a county counselor position after the county's incumbent stepped down.
The motions were moved and seconded on the record and carried by voice vote; individual roll-call tallies were not recorded in the minutes beyond the oral "aye" responses called during the meeting.
