Worth County supervisors approve agenda amendment, Drainage District 14 payment and tax abatement; routine claims cleared
Summary
Supervisors amended the agenda to add a tax-abatement item, approved Drainage District 14 Change Order 3 and pay application No. 4, agreed to abate common-outlet charges for a drainage district and approved claims and special claims.
At a meeting of the Worth County Board of Supervisors (date not specified), the board approved an amendment to the agenda, authorized payment on a drainage-district change order and application, agreed to a tax abatement related to common outlet charges, and approved routine claims.
The board’s most substantive roll-call actions included approval of Drainage District 14 Change Order 3 and payment of pay application No. 4, and a motion to abate a set of common-outlet charges tied to a drainage district assessment.
Supervisor 1 (Supervisor) moved to amend the agenda to add a tax-abatement item, saying, “I’m gonna take a motion to amend the agenda. I have tax abatement in there.” The board then approved the amended agenda and the minutes by voice vote.
Supervisor 5 (Supervisor) moved to approve Drainage District 14 Change Order 3 and pay application No. 4; a second was recorded and the motion passed. The board discussed that the application appeared to be effectively closed aside from retainage and that further payments would likely be limited to retainage going forward.
On the tax-abatement item, a supervisor explained that a drainage district had not been assessed for common outlet charges in prior years and therefore did not have funds to pay the current charges. “They should have been assessed too so that they would have had enough money to pay these, and they don’t,” Supervisor 2 (Supervisor) said. The board voted to abate the charges so the district would not accrue interest for another year and to charge the district at a later date.
The board also approved routine business: acknowledgement of a special claim (IPAC) and approval of the regular claims and check register, including payroll and a special vehicle acknowledgement.
Other administrative items carried on voice votes with no further recorded discussion.
Ending — The board moved on to department reports and other agenda items after approving the above motions. No detailed vote tallies or mover/second names were recorded in the transcript for each motion beyond the motions and voice votes noted above.
