Supervisors approve tentative drainage vegetation contract pending insurance and pesticide license
Summary
Franklin County supervisors voted to tentatively award a two-year drainage tree-and-shrub control contract, contingent on receipt of required insurance and a pesticide applicator license; the motion was moved by Lucas Meyer and seconded by Mick Vicker and approved by voice vote.
Franklin County supervisors voted to tentatively award a two-year contract for drainage-ditch tree and shrub control, contingent on the contractor providing required insurance and a pesticide applicator license.
Staff reported the combined two-year bid total for ditch work at about $77,200 (one later accounting entry recorded $78,200 for a related line item). After staff noted the insurance and licensing conditions, a supervisor moved to approve the contract pending those documents; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Meeting minutes record: “Moved by Lucas Meyer, second by Mick Vicker.”
The board also approved drainage minutes from Dec. 1 and drainage claims by voice vote during the same segment of the meeting. The treasurer requested and the supervisors approved a corrective transfer to move an invoice charged to the wrong drainage subfund back into the correct account; staff said the transfer will reconcile the four affected subaccounts.
Staff said the tentative award will become final once the contractor submits proof of insurance and an up-to-date pesticide license and a signed contract is returned to the county. The board instructed staff to notify the contractor after those documents are received.
Next steps: staff will confirm the required documents, complete the formal agreement paperwork and return the finalized contract to the board for the record.
