Marshall County adopts resolution 2025-14 to authorize purchase of sewer district bond and participation note

The Marshall County Commissioners voted to adopt Resolution 2025-14 at a Dec. 22 special meeting, a measure authorizing the county to purchase a bond and participation note previously taken out by the Marshall County Regional Sewer District. County counsel explained the action fits within special purchasing statutes that permit that type of purchase.

Commissioners discussed preliminary figures: paperwork contained a $2,000,000 placeholder to ensure the county would not need to file supplemental paperwork if the final amount changed, while staff said the likely purchase amount is in the neighborhood of $1.6 million. Unidentified Speaker 4 moved to adopt Resolution 2025-14; the motion was seconded and adopted on a voice vote. The transcript records the motion and approval but does not include a roll-call vote or individual vote tallies.

Context and next steps: Counsel said the resolution is designed to fold the purchase into the statutory special-purchasing method; staff noted that final amounts will be clarified before closing and that the county had already placed placeholder figures in paperwork for January to avoid returning to the board for a second vote. The county did not record additional procedural conditions in the meeting minutes excerpted in the transcript.

The meeting record included earlier discussion about a separate resolution and paperwork to purchase a van; commissioners discussed signatures needed for that item but no formal motion to purchase a van is recorded in the available transcript.

Commissioners adopted Resolution 2025-14 by voice vote; staff asked that any follow-up questions be directed to the county attorney’s office.
