Summary

Jesse Howell, superintendent of Public Water District #2, presented services the district provides in Ray County and requested a change to the county road-permit process—a proposal for a one-time fee or bond for road and waterway work; commissioners said they will review the request and follow up.

Jesse Howell, superintendent of Public Water District #2, told Ray County commissioners on June 3 that the district provides water services across the county and asked the commission to modify the county road-permit process to require either a one-time fee or a bond for road and waterway work.

Howell presented a letter describing the Water District's services and the permit-change proposal; the minutes record the request but show no decision. Commissioner comments in the minutes indicate the board will review the request and follow up with Mr. Howell at a later date.

The minutes do not include detail on the proposed fee level, bond terms, or how the county would apply or administer such a change. No formal vote or ordinance amending the permit process was recorded; the item was entered as a request for staff and commissioners to review.

The commission handled the matter as part of routine business; follow-up conversations or staff reports would be required for any formal change to permit fees or bonding requirements.
