Commission approves culvert payment for Choteau Creek Township pending FEMA reimbursement
Summary
Charles Mix County authorized payment for a culvert in Choteau Creek Township, with the township to reimburse the county after receipt of FEMA funds. The motion passed unanimously Sept. 26.
The Charles Mix County Board of Commissioners approved payment for a culvert replacement in Choteau Creek Township on Sept. 26, with the condition that Choteau Creek Township will reimburse the county once it receives FEMA reimbursement.
The motion was made by Vice Chairman Colin Soukup and seconded by Commissioner Nick Stotz; the minutes record the motion carried by voice vote. Highway Superintendent Cimpl had raised Choteau Creek culvert concerns during a department briefing earlier in the meeting.
Why it matters: the action authorizes immediate county-fronted payment for infrastructure repairs while preserving the township’s reimbursement obligation to FEMA. The minutes do not specify the payment amount or the FEMA reimbursement timeline.
Next steps: County staff will process payment as authorized; township reimbursement to the county is expected after FEMA disburses funds.
