The Marshall County Council on Dec. 22 approved an agreement to dissolve its arrangement with the County Sewer District, with a council motion carrying after members voted "Aye." The agreement had been approved earlier by county commissioners and by the sewer board, the Chair said.
Council member Mr. Shattuck moved to approve the agreement to dissolve; Ms. Johnson seconded. The Chair called for further discussion, said there was none, and the council recorded 'Aye' votes and the motion carried. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or the exact vote count.
A member of the public praised the outcome, saying the action "puts a probably an end to a long chapter" and that residents had brought a problem to officials who "did what they were supposed to do" by listening and responding. The commenter urged that friendships be kept despite differing views on the Sewer District.
The Chair referenced that "Sean" had explained the agreement at a commissioners meeting; the transcript does not include Sean's full statement at this session. The text of the agreement, its immediate effects on sewer operations, any transitional responsibilities, and whether further approvals or implementation steps are required were not specified in the meeting transcript.
The council adjourned after the vote and brief public comment. No further procedural steps or timelines for implementing the agreement were stated on the record.
