Board approves consent agenda, paygrade increase, insurance binder, drainage assessments and a tax‑suspension resolution

At its meeting, the Woodbury County Board of Supervisors approved a slate of routine and formal items including the consent agenda and several motions related to personnel, insurance, drainage assessments and a tax‑suspension resolution.

The board approved the agenda and then the consent agenda covering the May 19, 2026 minutes, claims, human‑resources personnel transactions, and a notice of property sale (parcel ending in 6018 / 121 Market Street). Supervisors also approved a builder’s risk insurance binder required for an elevator contract (presented by Melissa Thomas of human resources), listed in the record as "$511" and to be paid from the county risk fund.

Melissa Thomas also presented a negotiated AFSCME Council 61 Local 3462U pay‑grade increase for a maintenance technician position intended to attract more applicants for a long‑open vacancy; the raise is effective July 1 and was approved unanimously.

Several motions were moved and seconded by supervisors recorded in the minutes with unanimous support.
