Summary
At the Feb. 27 meeting the commissioners approved payroll and claims, signed FAA reimbursement request No. 5, accepted 2027 state fuel tax allocation paperwork with edits, authorized a $3,000 excavation overage, and voted to place a predator board mill levy on the June ballot for $75,000 per year for four years.
Here are the formal actions the Carter County commissioners recorded on Feb. 27, 2026.
• Payroll and claims: Commissioners moved to pay payroll in the amount of $318,004.62 and claims of $147,041.18. The motion was seconded and carried with all commissioners present voting in favor.
• Consent agenda / FAA reimbursement: The commission approved the consent agenda (commissioner proceedings for Feb. 11 and Feb. 19) and signed FAA AIP reimbursement request No. 5.
• State fuel tax allocation: The commission accepted the 2027 state fuel tax allocation paperwork as submitted by the Department of Transportation with local edits; the motion was seconded and carried.
• Excavator overage (Brownfield Pit): The commission authorized an additional $3,000 to cover excavator rental overage after road and bridge staff said the contractor exceeded a 160‑hour run time and negotiated a reduced overtime rate of $70 per hour.
• Predator board mill levy: The commission agreed to place a predator board special‑levy question on the June primary ballot to raise $75,000 per year for four years and instructed Clerk and Recorder Judy Wright to enter the item on the ballot.
Each of the motions above was made and seconded on the record; commissioners called for public comment where required and recorded votes as "aye" during roll call. No recorded dissenting votes were noted in the transcript; where explicit roll‑call tallies were not read, the chair announced the motion carried.
