Mike Hake, Solid Waste Director, told the Cloud County commissioners that an extended-warranty option for a back-hoe would cost $3,066 for one year or $5,300 for two years and that he is waiting for pricing on a replacement machine. Hake recommended the two-year warranty and the board agreed to purchase the two-year option pending final paperwork.
Hake also raised whether the county should continue billing solid-waste fees directly or add them to tax statements; he said he would consult with local cities to learn their billing practices for water and utility charges.
Separately, the Clerk reported sales tax receipts of $82,902.85 received March 25, 2025, compared with $79,964.18 the prior year. The board did not take additional formal action on solid-waste fee billing during the session.
