At its Nov. 4 meeting the Murray County Board of Commissioners approved routine consent items including meeting minutes and payment warrants, a Soil & Water Conservation District allocation, and drainage authority bills.
The board approved the minutes from Oct. 21, 2025 and Commissioner Warrants (checks 178432–178472) totaling $171,629.49. Commissioner Zins asked about a $874 invoice from law firm Ratwik, Roszak & Maloney, P.A.; Heidi Winter explained the county did not have a general counsel retainer on file for that firm, so hourly charges were applied for an outside consultation related to the county employee survey.
Craig Christensen, Program Manager, presented the Murray County Soil & Water Conservation District 3rd quarter allocation request of $49,069.75; Commissioner Carlson moved and Commissioner Zins seconded approval, and the board approved the allocation.

Motions on the consent agenda were passed by voice vote; detailed roll-call tallies were not provided in the meeting record.
