The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors approved several administrative and capital items during its meeting. The board accepted voucher number 2 for project VROS‑CO46Parent88 (the Iowa Avenue bridge-to-box-culvert project completed by PCI), approving payment for the project except retainage.
On equipment and facilities, staff presented quotes for backup generators to serve the Bode and Hardy road shops. Two vendors provided bids; staff discussed air-cooled vs. liquid-cooled units, expected sizing and siting, and the need for piping and concrete work for installation. Quotes discussed generator sizes ranging from 18 to 26 kW for shop use and a larger 80 kW example for other municipal uses; the grand total for the two shop generators was estimated at about $31,000. The board moved to accept the bid from TNR Electric (with Harry Stoltman to perform piping and installation work) and the motion carried.
On land‑use permitting, the board reviewed a master matrix and a non‑construction permit application for "Humboldt Site 23," located near 40th and Rose. Staff said the site’s master-matrix score was 440; after discussion supervisors moved to approve the matrix and subsequently voted to approve the application to increase the listed unit size from 4,400 to 4,900 and accept the submitted manure-management program.
Motions carried on these items; the record shows supervisors moved, seconded and voiced assent. Specific individual vote tallies and voter names were not recorded in a complete roll-call format in the transcript. No appeals or dissenting motions were recorded for these agenda items at the meeting.
Next procedural steps for the approved actions include processing the pay voucher for payment (retaining applicable retainage), scheduling generator installation and piping work with the selected contractor, and filing the approved permit documentation for Site 23 with county and state regulatory parties as required by the county’s permitting process.
