Worth County supervisors approve construction change orders, contracts and adopt urban renewal loan resolution
Summary
At a regular meeting supervisors approved multiple construction change orders and payments, an operations contract for wastewater services effective July 1, 2025, updated emergency and continuity plans, and adopted Resolution 2025-23 authorizing internal loans to fund urban renewal project costs.
The Worth County Board of Supervisors approved a series of routine construction and finance items and adopted a resolution to authorize internal loans for urban renewal projects at its meeting.
The board approved the following motions by voice vote during the meeting:
- DD14 change order number 2 (motion approved by voice vote). - DD14 pay application number 3 (motion approved by voice vote). - DD48 amendment number 2 (motion approved by voice vote). - DD11 for Meyer (motion approved by voice vote). - An item related to Gordon Anderson (motion approved by voice vote). - Approval of payroll and claims (motion approved by voice vote). - Approval of the operation and maintenance agreement with SMH Environmental effective July 1, 2025 (motion approved by voice vote). - Approval of plan updates: emergency action plan, county continuity of operations plan, and courthouse security plan (motion approved by voice vote).
Why it matters: the items advance capital projects, vendor contracts, and county emergency preparedness. The SMH Environmental agreement will govern wastewater operation and maintenance starting July 1, 2025, and the urban renewal financing resolution provides internal borrowing authority to keep a multi-million-dollar urban renewal effort moving.
Public hearing and resolution: the board opened and closed a public hearing on the proposed incurrence of noncurrent debt and then voted to adopt Resolution 2025-23 authorizing internal loans to fund urban renewal project costs related to an urban renewal plan amendment. During the roll call for Resolution 2025-23, Supervisor Goldberg and Supervisor Stone recorded votes of "aye." The motion carried.
Voting and procedure notes: most construction and contract items were approved by voice vote with the board responding “aye” to each motion; the meeting record does not show individual roll-call tallies for those items. The urban renewal loan resolution was adopted after a short staff explanation that the borrowing reverses temporary draws on a county account used for urban renewal work and that the board will certify and replenish the account by December 1.
Next steps: staff will complete required paperwork, sign contracts where needed, and schedule follow-ups for project budgeting and implementation. The board adjourned after the adopted motions.
