Audubon County board approves Mockingbird Ave. contract, IT phone contract, routine claims and removes ineligible homestead tax credit
Summary
The board voted unanimously Feb. 10 to approve the Mockingbird Ave. contract and performance bond, accept Recorder and Auditor reports and cash counts, approve claims totaling $51,138.81, approve an American Business Phones contract for IT, and remove a Homestead Tax Credit application found ineligible until 2026.
At its Feb. 10 meeting the Audubon County Board of Supervisors approved a series of routine actions, including a road contract, an IT phone/backup services contract and several financial reports and claims.
The board approved the contract and performance bond for the Mockingbird Ave. project following a presentation by County Engineer Mitch Rydl (motion by Don Mosinski; second by Heath Hansen). Crews are reported to be cutting trees and blading roads; one newly arrived plow truck was returned to the vendor for further analysis after mechanical issues were detected.
IT Director Ben Linde presented quotes for an IT server backup room at Secondary Roads and a quote from American Business Phones. The board approved the American Business Phones quote/contract (motion by Heath Hansen; second by Don Mosinski).
Financial and administrative actions the board approved included acceptance/filing of the Recorder’s January 2026 report of fees, the Auditor’s January 2026 month-end reports, and surprise cash-count reports for the Recorder’s and Treasurer’s offices completed Feb. 4. The board also approved the minutes of Feb. 3 and claims submitted by departments totaling $51,138.81; all motions were made by Heath Hansen and seconded by Don Mosinski and were approved by voice vote with "all in favor" recorded.
Supervisors also approved removal of a Homestead Tax Credit from an application after determining the credit was ineligible until 2026 (motion by Don Mosinski; second by Heath Hansen). The vendor Simmering Corey reported it still has questions before delivering a final draft of the recodified ordinances for the county; supervisors said they would forward questions to the county attorney for input.
All recorded motions noted in the minutes were approved by the board during the meeting; no split votes or recorded dissents appear in the minutes.
Next steps: the board will continue routine contract oversight and follow up on vendor questions for ordinance recodification as they work toward final drafts.
