Grant County Drainage Board approves routine claims and vendor payments
Summary
The Drainage Board approved a series of claims including vendor bills from Extreme Excavating, John's Repair and IMI Aggregates and noted fund balances for named drains such as Booger Creek and Brushy Run.
The Grant County Drainage Board on Oct. 14 approved a set of routine claims and reviewed fund balances for several drains.
During the meeting staff read a list of invoices and said which fund each charge would come from. Examples cited in the record included Graphic Printing ($76.77), Chronicle Tribune ($55.65), Extreme Excavating ($8,076.75) and multiple entries for John’s Repair (amounts ranged from $7.24 to $7,721 for different jobs listed against Brushy Run, Luger Creek and Baker Ditch). The transcript also records fund balances for various drains: Booger Creek fund cited at $84,855.30, Brushy Run at $15,148.89 and Baker Ditch at $23,727.35 among others.
Board members asked staff to explain several charges; one board member noted the Extreme Excavating entries covered finishing a quote and seeding/rock shoot work on Thompson Branch, and John’s Repair charges included cleaning a farm crossing and hauling riprap. After discussion the board moved and voted to pay the listed claims, with voice votes recorded as 'aye' and the motions carried.
Separately the board approved IMI Aggregates for $1,448.13 and accepted two Cook’s Excavating claims for $3,550 each for Pike Creek. Members flagged a few unusually low bids during later bid reviews and discussed verifying contractor insurance and past performance before awarding contracts.
The board did not record detailed roll-call tallies in the transcript; approvals were recorded by voice vote with the clerk noting the motion carried.
