Cloud County board holds brief executive session on UP Bridge land acquisition
Summary
Interim Highway Administrator Rod Michaud and consultant Jon Markel discussed the UP Bridge. The board entered a 10-minute executive session to discuss land acquisition related to the project and resumed open session at 9:28 a.m.; no land purchase was disclosed in open session.
Chairman Gary Caspers called the Cloud County Board of Commissioners to order at 9:00 a.m. on June 10, 2024. Interim Highway Administrator Rod Michaud and Jon Markel of engineering firm Kirkham Michael briefed the board on matters related to the UP Bridge.
After that briefing, on a motion by Commissioner Ron Copple, seconded by Commissioner Michael Cleveland, the board voted unanimously to move into a 10-minute executive session to discuss land acquisition connected to the UP Bridge project; attendees included Jon Markel, Rod Michaud and County Clerk Shella Thoman. The board returned to open session at 9:28 a.m.
The meeting minutes record the executive session and participants but do not disclose a public decision or specific property purchase. Michaud and Markel were present for the discussion and are expected to follow up as part of project planning; no subsequent motion or vote about a land purchase was recorded in open session.
The board’s action was limited to authorizing the executive session; any acquisitions would require further public action and recordation in subsequent meetings.
