Board approves bond release, tax correction, payments and moves to executive session on contracts
Summary
The board approved a road bond release for Black River Timber Logging Company, voided a tax sale caused by a missing exempt code, approved assessment corrections and payments including $28,662 to PLLC, and entered executive session to discuss contract negotiations and a fee‑in‑lieu agreement.
At the Dec. 1 meeting the Washington County Board voted on several administrative items, including a road bond release, tax‑sale correction and contract matters handled in executive session.
Speaker 12 presented a request from Black River Timber Logging Company to release a road bond previously approved July 21; the road manager had signed off that the work was complete and the board approved the release.
The board also dealt with a tax‑sale issue. Speaker 5 explained an exempt code (and ZIP code entry) was left off a parcel that resulted in a 2023 tax sale; the board moved to void the sale and reverse the buyer transaction so the county retains the property as exempt.
Two assessment petitions were approved. Elite Glass LLC received an acreage correction and Aquila Lewis was granted a 10% assessment adjustment after staff documented filing and homestead conflicts.
Financial and administrative approvals included a motion to pay $28,662 to PLLC for completed work on project SADP‑7601, and approval for staff to attend traffic control certification training with estimated travel costs of about $600.
The board voted unanimously to enter executive session twice during the meeting to discuss contract negotiations, including a fee‑in‑lieu contract and an item involving Allegiance/health‑care contract concerns. After the first executive session the attorney reported the board had amended the minutes of Oct. 17, 2022 to include a previously omitted document and approved final fee‑in‑lieu terms subject to attorney corrections.
