Summary

The commission approved appraisals and payments for permanent and temporary easements needed for the Twete Bridge replacement and adopted the North Dakota DOT's minimum payment policy for right-of-way and easement purchases.

Nelson County commissioners approved appraisal valuations required for the Twete Bridge replacement project and adopted the North Dakota Department of Transportation's minimum payment policy for the purchase of permanent and temporary easements and right-of-way.

County documents presented at the meeting valued the permanent right-of-way at $2,676.12 per acre for 2.21 acres and identified 0.67 acres needed for a temporary easement, to be paid at 10% of the appraisal. The board moved to approve those appraisal valuations and to adopt NDOT's minimum payment policy for temporary and permanent acquisitions. The motions passed on roll-call votes with all members recorded as voting "Yes."

No relocation or construction contract was awarded at the meeting; the actions authorize the county to proceed with right-of-way acquisition under the stated appraisal figures and the DOT payment policy.
