Union County tables wetland‑credit purchase, approves right‑of‑way donation and tile‑boring permit
Summary
Highway Superintendent Buum reported department business; the board tabled a $54,440 wetland‑credit purchase for a 404 permit, approved a voluntary right‑of‑way donation from Tod Phillips, and granted Curt Keiser a permit to bore a tile line under CR #25.
The Union County Board of Commissioners on April 1 considered several Highway Department items brought forward by Highway Superintendent Buum.
Commissioner Dailey moved, and Commissioner Ballard seconded, to table the proposed purchase of $54,440 in wetland credits needed for a Section 404 permit tied to the 64‑080‑34 replacement project. The motion to table was recorded as carried.
On separate motions, the board approved an Agreement for Voluntary Right of Way Donation from property owner Tod Phillips for a temporary easement (Tract I in S ½ SW ¼ Section 16, T94N‑R50W) of approximately 0.11 acres, and it permitted Curt Keiser to bore a tile line under County Road #25, encasing the line in a 10‑inch pipe at a depth of 3.5 feet (motion by Ballard, seconded by Ustad; recorded as carried).
The minutes record the motions and legal descriptions authorizing county staff to finalize the easement and issue the permit. The record does not detail environmental mitigation associated with the wetland‑credit issue beyond the decision to table the purchase.
