Board approves payables, wastewater transfers and equipment purchase; private utility crossing OK'd
Summary
Carroll County supervisors approved payables of $287,247.60, purchase of a wide skid-loader trailer for $17,950, transfer resolutions for Maple River and Mount Carmel wastewater systems, and a private utility crossing permit for water and electric at 20550 150th Street; Maple River and Mount Carmel transfers passed by roll call.
Carroll County supervisors approved several financial and procurement items during the meeting.
Payables: The board approved payables totaling $287,247.60 after a motion and second; the motion carried on an oral vote.
Skid-loader trailer: Supervisors approved purchase of a 22-foot, extra-wide skid-loader trailer quoted from Haley’s for $17,950. Staff described the trailer as 85 inches between fenders with a 20,000-pound axle rating and a tilt bed design to ease loading and unloading; supervisors said the trailer was budgeted and that comparable widths were rare. The board voted to approve the purchase after a motion and second; the motion carried.
Utility permit (private crossing): The board approved a private utility crossing permit for 20550 150th Street to install two underground water lines and an overhead electric line to serve a new cattle barn. Staff said private underground electric is not compatible with the county’s one-call locating system and requested the electric be installed overhead; the property owner agreed. The board approved the permit after a motion and second; the motion carried.
Maple River wastewater transfer resolution: The supervisors approved the fiscal-year 2026 Maple River wastewater system transfer resolution. The board performed a roll-call vote; the transcript records affirmative votes during roll call (clerk identified as Britney conducted the roll call and multiple supervisors recorded “Yes”). Meeting discussion noted that two separate notes exist for Maple River (an original and a subsequent one) and that this principal payment covered both notes.
Mount Carmel wastewater transfer resolution: The board approved the fiscal-year 2026 Mount Carmel wastewater system transfer resolution after a motion, second, and roll-call vote. A supervisor asked whether paying interest monthly or less frequently would change overall cost; staff replied interest payments are scheduled monthly under the loan terms.
The meeting record shows motions and seconds for each item and that all motions carried; the transcript did not record detailed roll-call tallies for the payables, trailer purchase, or utility permit beyond the clerk’s read of “Aye” and the chair’s confirmation that the motions carried.
