The Cloud County Board of Commissioners approved two fund transfers and adopted an updated regional solid-waste plan during its Dec. 8, 2025 meeting, and received an operational briefing after a recycling truck accident.
Rod Michaud, Highway/Weed Administrator, told the board crews were cutting trees and discussed replacing planks and beams on the Istas Bridge.
