Brown County Commission approves bridge reinspection resolution, routine contracts and agreements
Summary
The Brown County Commission approved a bridge reinspection resolution to hire IMA for federally required inspections and voted to approve several routine contracts and intergovernmental agreements, including a 2026 landfill monitoring contract with Houston Engineering and an IGA with the South Dakota Public Insurance Alliance.
The Brown County Commission approved a resolution to hire IMA for federally mandated bridge reinspections and carried votes on several routine contracts and agreements during its meeting.
Dirk Rogers, highway superintendent, told the commission the reinspection contract would keep the county in compliance with federal bridge standards and “keep all of our bridge money eligible,” and recommended hiring IMA to perform inspections and monitoring. Commissioners then approved the resolution by voice vote; the motion was made by Luis and seconded by Dennard.
The commission also voted to approve and authorize the chairman to sign an intergovernmental agreement with the South Dakota Public Insurance Alliance. The motion to approve that agreement was made by Gage and seconded by Dennard and carried by voice vote.
In other business, the commission approved a 2026 monitoring and consultant services contract for landfill compliance with Houston Engineering. Dinger moved the contract approval; Weitz seconded the motion, which passed by voice vote. The board also acknowledged a packet of 2025 corrections to landfill charge accounts; a motion to acknowledge the corrections was carried.
