Summary
At a May 5 Linn County Board of Commissioners meeting, the board approved claims and a set of contracts, permits and fee waivers including a $19,500 demolition contract and a $5,742.50 change order tied to landfill work.
Linn County commissioners approved claims, contracts and several administrative requests during their May 5 meeting, voting to accept a summary of routine business and a series of discrete project and permit items.
The board voted to approve claims in the amount of $598,856.31 and approved the minutes and the agenda as corrected. Commissioners also approved a series of project-specific items that included a landfill engineering change order, a demolition contract, a residential water-line permit and several small assistance requests.
Action details approved by the board included: a Terracon change-order invoice of $5,742.50 tied to vertical expansion and drainage work at the county landfill; a demolition contract for 326 Chestnut with JRK Portable Welding for $19,500 (with county waiver of dump fees included); a fee-waiver application (CD25-005) for no dumping fees at 210 South Third Street, Bluemound; a bridal (utility) permit BP2025-04 for a 2-inch water line at an address on Baskerville and 1700 Road for Bill Roth; and a request for Public Works assistance (post-hole digging) at the fairgrounds for Roger Carbon.
Most motions were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; individual roll-call tallies were not recorded in the public transcript. The board announced no formal action resulted from two executive sessions held during the meeting (one on budget/financial affairs and another on non-elected personnel job descriptions).
The meeting also recorded the sheriff's weekly report and emergency services call totals, and accepted reports from county staff on landfill space, road projects and planning and zoning matters.
