Worth County commissioners approve maintenance contracts, payroll and claims
Summary
At a regular meeting, Worth County officials approved two construction contracts for the secondary roads maintenance facility, authorized payroll changes and approved pending claims. Votes were recorded by roll call in some cases; other approvals were taken by voice vote.
Worth County officials approved two resolutions to award contracts for the county’s secondary roads maintenance facility, authorized payroll changes and approved pending claims during their regular meeting.
The board approved Resolution 2025-34 authorizing a contract and bond with Presco Building Services for the secondary roads maintenance facility project and approved Resolution 2025-35 (listed on the agenda as a contract and bond for Cuspal Building Service) for the same project. Both measures were moved and seconded and were recorded as passed by voice vote. Wilbert, Stone and Smayby were recorded as voting “aye” during one of the roll-call statements recorded when the motion carried.
Why it matters: the contracts advance construction of a dedicated facility for secondary road equipment and operations, a capital project that county staff said will require coordination on design, construction updates and interior furnishings.
Other formal actions: the board approved pending claims and payroll changes during the meeting. The claims approval was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote after brief discussion about delayed submittals from the county’s previous contractor for certain environmental or permitting work. A separate motion to approve payroll changes was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote.
What was said: meeting speakers handled the motions without extended debate. One participant noted the county is catching up on a backlog of permit- and invoice-related work from the prior vendor; another emphasized preference for monthly, rather than quarterly, reimbursements for routine work such as well plugging.
