Emmet County approves $384,108.04 in claims, awards fuel contract to New Century FS
Summary
The Board approved vendor claims totaling $384,108.04, payroll totals and awarded the low bid for county fuel and LP to New Century FS (fuel $385,271.20; LP 7,500 gal $8,992.50). The Board also approved a Mediacom utility permit for County Road A34.
At its June 9 meeting the Emmet County Board of Supervisors approved an itemized vendor claims list totaling $384,108.04 and reviewed payroll and benefit totals, while also concluding several procurement and permitting items.
Clerks presented the vendor claims list (an itemized set of payments to multiple vendors) that the meeting record shows totaled $384,108.04; drainage claims were listed separately at $11,774.75. The Board approved June claims (part one) and later approved June drainage claims by unanimous votes.
Allison Fisher and Travis Fredericksen presented bids for fuel and LP from multiple suppliers. The Board awarded the low bid from New Century FS for fuel ($385,271.20) and LP (7,500 gallons for $8,992.50) on a motion by John Pluth and second by Todd Glasnapp. The record shows the motion carried unanimously.
The Board also approved a utility permit for Mediacom to work on County Road A34 (approximately 2,400 feet west of State Hwy 4) on a motion by John Pluth, second by Jeff Quastad.
Why it matters: approval of vendor claims and payroll ensures county operations are funded and vendors are paid; awarding the fuel contract sets the county’s fuel supplier and prices for the contract period; the Mediacom permit allows utility work within county right‑of‑way.
What’s next: County staff will process payments and execute contracts with the awarded fuel vendor; permitting conditions and contractor scheduling for the Mediacom work will be handled by the County Engineer and permitting staff.
