Summary

The board approved forgiveness for small-town forgivable notes for Avoca and McClelland after staff review of documentation; Minden remains outstanding and staff will follow up to reconcile its agreement.

County finance staff presented documentation supporting forgiveness for two small-town forgivable notes. The City of Avoca provided receipts and invoices tied to the original $125,000 award and staff recommended approving the forgiveness; the board approved the action by voice vote. The board then approved forgiveness for McClelland after staff confirmed work and receipts; Mitch Kai said the county expects to clear outstanding forgiveness items (except Minden) by March.

"They provided all their documentation on all their costs… So I'd recommend approving this forgiveness for them," a county official said about Avoca. The county noted Minden's agreement requires additional work due to priorities changing after a tornado, and staff will contact Minden to rework its agreement.
