Winnebago County approves Mike Petersburg as drainage contractor pending paperwork

Winnebago County approved a motion to add Mike Petersburg as a drainage contractor, contingent on him providing up-to-date paperwork including insurance and a W-9. The motion was made by a committee member and seconded by the chair; the chair called the question and the motion carried by voice vote.

The committee discussed localized drainage concerns that prompted the hire. A committee member said they had called about beaver dams and that the sites were on lists for a hunter/trapper and drainage work; the speaker noted some work appeared to have been completed east of town. The member moved to appoint Petersburg "as a drainage contractor pending all of his paperwork is up to date." The chair seconded and announced the motion carried.

The transcript records specific paperwork requirements raised during the discussion: current liability insurance and a W-9, with the expectation those documents be updated yearly. The meeting did not record a dollar value for the contract, a contract term, or an effective start date; those details were not specified in the transcript.

The meeting then proceeded to a roads update and other agenda items.
