Board OKs tree removal PO, bridge right‑of‑way and storage MOU; approves insurance amendment
Summary
Klamath County approved a $17,500 purchase order for large tree removal in a drainage ditch, a $1,300 right‑of‑way dedication for Bridge 18C‑0177 replacement, reauthorized a three‑year MOU for two storage units used by the sheriff’s department, and approved Amendment No. 2 to the county insurance agent contract extending coverage through March 2027.
The board approved several infrastructure and procurement items at the Dec. 16 meeting.
Drainage service district: Public Works requested quotes to remove large trees from a small drainage north of a canal (Beaver Creek/Old Fort Road area). The district received multiple quotes and staff recommended issuing a purchase order to the lowest bidder, Mazingo's Tree Service, for $17,500 from the drainage service district contract services line; the motion passed.
Bridge replacement: Public Works presented a right‑of‑way dedication required to replace Bridge 18C‑0177 over the Lost River on East Landau Valley Road near Fund Way. The board approved the right‑of‑way dedication; fiscal impact was $1,300 from the road operating budget.
Storage unit MOU: Staff described two storage units historically rented to the sheriff's department for evidence and related needs. The board authorized a three‑year memorandum of understanding with signatures by Jeremy Morris (Public Works) and Sheriff Shane Mitchell; staff recorded a fiscal impact not to exceed $20,000 from the sheriff’s special revenue fund and matching revenue to the road department.
Insurance agent contract amendment: Risk Management presented Amendment No. 2 to the contract with Great Basin Insurance (now Hub International) to extend agent‑of‑record services through March 22, 2027. The board approved the extension at an estimated $49,660 annually to the risk management budget.
