Audubon County supervisors approve routine claims, contracts and a 3.2% wage recommendation
Summary
In a routine session the board approved departmental claims totaling $551,638, a contract for the M‑66/100th Street intersection, submission of IDPH FY24 expenses, acceptance of auditor reports, and a Compensation Board recommendation of a 3.2% FY25 wage increase for two county employees.
During its July 16 meeting the Audubon County Board of Supervisors handled several routine but notable business items.
The board approved departmental claims to be paid totaling $551,638 and ordered publication of the claims listing. Supervisors also approved the FY25 allocations to Elderbridge and the Good Neighbor Center; the board noted funds previously allocated to the closed Kimballton library will likely be redistributed between Exira and Audubon, with final amounts to be decided the following week.
Engineer Mitch Rydl provided Secondary Roads construction and maintenance updates. The board approved and signed a contract for the M‑66 and 100th Street intersection project. The board also approved submission of the IDPH FY24 annual and fourth-quarter expenses and accepted the auditor’s June month-end reports.
On personnel matters, the board approved the Compensation Board recommendation of a 3.2% FY25 wage increase for IT Director Ben Linde and for Custodian John Hansen. Motions in the meeting were repeatedly moved by Rick Thompson and seconded by Heath Hansen; minutes record votes as "all in favor." The meeting adjourned at 12:01 p.m.
These actions were recorded in the meeting minutes and carry the usual administrative next steps for contract execution, claims payment and payroll processing.
