Alfalfa County officials met to consider routine fiscal and maintenance items, including proposed transfers into capital outlay, review of competing equipment bids, and rights-of-way and materials requests for District 3. A landowner agreement with Franklin Merle was approved; several additional motions were proposed but the transcript did not record formal vote tallies for those items.
The meeting opened with procedural remarks and a discussion of the countys budget timing, including a note that the budget process had been restarted because of work related to Cherokee schools and that some items would be rolled over to Delcea Williams for follow-up. Officials then moved through procurement and financial business.
Officials discussed awarding bids for a used single-drum roller. Bidders and amounts cited in the record included Orange Katz at $91,380 and Yellow House at $123,005.36; another bid of approximately $115,000 was mentioned and one bidder (Murphy) was noted as not submitting a sealed bid. The transcript records the bids and discussion but does not record an explicit award decision for the roller in the available text.
A transfer was read for the record: "Transfer from Burlington Responders in and to Capital Outlay, $15,038." The transfer was discussed as part of capital outlay and budget items; a motion relating to capital outlay transfers appears in the transcript but the final vote tally and mover/second were not recorded in the provided text.
A motion was made to declare a 2019 John Deere skid steer bucket surplus and remove it from county inventory; the item was introduced during the capital/equipment portion of the agenda. The transcript records the motion being made but does not include a formal roll-call tally for that specific motion in the provided excerpt.
The board explicitly approved a landowner agreement with Franklin Merle for District 2, described in the record as a per-yard materials arrangement. The motion is recorded in the transcript as "Motion approved" in direct relation to that agreement.
District 3 business included telephone quotes and competing estimates for a low-water crossing, with names cited such as Wilson Construction and Peach Finishing Concrete and a separate submittal described as from "Lettings." Commissioners discussed private-property easements, tree removal, materials logistics (including diesel transport) and CV-1 paperwork for District 3. A note in the record clarified that certain payments are due by the 10th and that staff would resend missing application materials to county staff (Amber) and to the requester.
Commissioners also noted an addendum to the FY25-26 agreement with the county budgeting service (described in the record as a budgeting/county budgeting service addendum). The transcript reflects discussion and a motion to proceed with paperwork, but the provided excerpt does not show a recorded vote tally or full motion text for that addendum.
What was decided: the landowner agreement with Franklin Merle for District 2 is recorded in the transcript as approved. What remains pending or not specified in the transcript excerpt: final vote tallies or formal recorded outcomes for the $15,038 transfer to capital outlay, the declared surplus for the 2019 John Deere skid steer bucket, the roller procurement, and the budgeting-service addendum.
Next steps noted in the meeting included resubmitting missing application documents, staff follow-ups on CV-1 documentation for District 3, and further processing of materials requests and easements. The transcript does not include formal deadlines beyond the recurring payment-by-the-10th note or formal implementation dates for the approved landowner agreement.
Speakers quoted or recorded in the transcript are identified only by meeting audio labels in the provided record; direct quotations were limited and garbled in parts of the transcript, so the article paraphrases procedural and factual items and attributes formal outcomes only where the transcript explicitly recorded them.
