County staff report demo-grant cleanup, sewer study and upcoming conferences
Summary
County staff told commissioners that all 14 lots in this year’s demolition grant were cleaned up, the contractor will return in spring for grading and reseeding, a Smokehouse sewer study is scheduled with key players, and the county is scheduling interviews to fill an open study position.
County staff reported progress on several operational items during the December 2025 meeting.
A staff update noted completion of the demolition grant work: "we did get all 14 lots cleaned up," and the contractor is expected back in the spring for grading and reseeding. Staff said the Ag Society provided letters of support for future demo projects and that the county submitted materials for the next grant round.
Staff also announced an upcoming Smokehouse sewer study involving the southernmost sewer district and indicated an additional interview had been scheduled for a long-open study position. A staff member said they will be attending an emergency management conference at Salt Fork State Park later in the week and will return Friday afternoon.
On an ongoing matter, a commissioner asked whether the investigation into the Hidden Lakes mishap had progressed; staff replied the investigation was still ongoing. Commissioners also noted that Rob Howard was shown in paperwork as the new president of the airport board.
Closing notes: these were informational staff updates; no formal board action was recorded on these operational items in the transcript.
