Audubon County board approves financial resolutions, reviews levy process and county services
Summary
At its March 24 meeting the Audubon County Board approved Resolution 2026-14 naming county depositories, accepted MMP DNR annual updates for two sites, approved a ROW purchase agreement and claims of $88,102.73, and discussed FY27 budget and the courthouse custodian hiring process.
The Audubon County Board of Supervisors on March 24, 2026, approved a set of routine but consequential administrative items including Resolution 2026-14 naming county depositories, acceptance of MMP DNR annual updates, and a right-of-way purchase agreement for LE8.
Resolution 2026-14 designates Audubon State Bank, Exchange State Bank and Crawford County Trust & Savings as depositories for county funds and records maximum deposit amounts for specific offices. The board recorded the vote on the resolution as unanimous.
The board approved MMP DNR annual updates for Jorgensen Site #64571 and Dan & Bill Christensen #68467, indicating the county’s acknowledgement of required manure management plan updates. Supervisors approved a right-of-way purchase agreement for LE8 after the first landowner accepted the estimate; the agreement was signed with Auditor Frederiksen notarizing the signature. The board also approved meeting minutes from March 17, 2026, and claims totaling $88,102.73 for publication.
On budget and personnel, Auditor Lisa Frederiksen detailed how budget figures feed into the levy and why the levy publication must show reasonings: the County-wide levy request decreased while the Rural levy request increased this year, and the net effect on the levy rate reflected both trends. Supervisors discussed advertising the courthouse custodian position as full- or part-time and decided to ask department heads for input before finalizing recruitment plans. The board discussed FY27 insurance renewal documents and contacted Assured Partners for clarification about partial self-fund reserves on health insurance; a motion to approve the insurance-related resolution was recorded as passed.
No controversial votes or policy reversals were recorded; most actions were routine approvals and informational updates. The meeting adjourned at 12:03 p.m.
