The Wright County Board appointed Joellen Reynolds to the county trails committee as the Belmont representative and approved a 28E intergovernmental agreement with the city of Belmont for county-performed maintenance inside the city limits.

Speaker 3 moved to appoint Joellen Reynolds to the Trails Committee as Belmont’s representative; the motion was seconded, and the board voted 'aye.' The county’s 28E agreement with Belmont covers routine maintenance on identified routes (snow removal and summer blading); the city has already approved the agreement and the county will file and record the document as appropriate.

County secondary-roads staff gave an operational update: crews responded to snow on wide routes and intersections, hauled ice-control sand (inventory at about 56% of ordered amounts from DOT), and reported seismic testing and ongoing projects. Staff also noted potential equipment-price increases (dump trucks) that would be considered during budgeting.

Next steps: County staff to file the 28E agreement with the auditor/recorder as required and coordinate maintenance details with Belmont; roads staff to include potential equipment price changes in upcoming budget planning.
