At its Nov. 24 meeting, the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners approved several routine administrative items.

The board authorized the chair to sign a right-of-way application from Encore for a waterline crossing near Somerset; the roads department raised no objections and an application fee of $201.98 was attached. The board also authorized a right-of-way application from CenturyLink/Lumen for a short fiber installation from Highway 83 down North Lake Road to a FedEx facility; a check for the permit fees (transcript lists $344 and $80.85) was attached and staff discussed as-built submittal timing.

As part of its financial items, the board received a sheriff fee report submitted in the amount of $2,332.20 and entered it by motion.
