Fillmore council approves bills and purchase orders, adopts airport fee and renews grazing lease; potable water agreement tabled
Summary
Council approved payroll and multiple purchase orders (including PO 2521 and a well-pump repair PO), adopted a 15¢/sq-ft airport fee policy, approved an amended grazing lease, and tabled a potable-water agreement with Miller County Care & Rehabilitation pending priority language.
The Fillmore City Council handled routine fiscal and operational business at its July 1 meeting, approving payroll and several purchase orders, adopting an airport fee policy, renewing a grazing lease and tabling a potable-water agreement pending additional language about water priority.
Payroll and bills: Council approved the invoice register for 06/18/2025–07/01/2025 and the payroll register dated 06/22/2025 by motion (Speaker 1 moved; Speaker 3 seconded). Several purchase orders were discussed and approved by voice vote, including a purchase order for road materials (described in the packet as hail/sand/gravel with a listed amount) and purchase order 25-222 for well-pump repairs (Speaker 4 and Speaker 3 led motions and seconds).
Airport fees: Staff proposed adding a policy fee of $0.15 per square foot for airport leases as an average based on comparison with other airports; Speaker 5 moved to add 15¢ per square foot to the airport policy, the motion was seconded and carried.
Potable-water agreement: The council reviewed a proposed potable-water agreement between Fillmore City and Miller County Care & Rehabilitation. Planner/legal staff and multiple council members asked that the contract include explicit priority language to ensure Fillmore citizens’ water needs are protected in shortage situations; the council tabled the agreement until that language is inserted.
Grazing lease: Council reviewed and approved an amended grazing lease with Daniel Peterson, agreeing to restart or extend the three-year term and set grazing fees at $100 per year as discussed in the meeting.
