Audubon County supervisors approve $8,500 reimbursement transfer, paving contract and a slate of routine licenses and purchases
Summary
Audubon County’s Board of Supervisors on June 16 approved Resolution 2026-37 to reimburse $8,500 to the Rural Basic fund, awarded the East Side Drive PCC paving contract, renewed FY27 insurance, and approved several permits and a shared mower purchase; the county auditor flagged concerns about month-end reporting duties.
The Audubon County Board of Supervisors on June 16 approved a series of routine administrative actions, including a reimbursement transfer, a county paving contract and several licenses and equipment purchases.
The board unanimously approved Resolution 2026-37 after Auditor Lisa Frederiksen explained that, in fiscal 2025, the Rural Basic fund covered an $8,500 shortfall in TIF apportioning related to bond payments. The resolution directs a reimbursement transfer of $8,500 from Fund 0034-NW/Wind TIF Fund to Fund 0011-Rural Basic Fund and instructs the county treasurer and auditor to adjust the books accordingly, Frederiksen said.
In infrastructure business, Engineer Mitch Rydl presented contract and performance-bond documents for the East Side Drive PCC Paving Project; a motion by Supervisor Heath Hansen, seconded by Don Mosinski, approved the contract and bond unanimously. Rydl also reported storm damage at the Exira Shop from a recent storm, saying a large door was blown in and landed on a new truck and that an older building shifted in the wind; he showed photographs of the damage to the board.
The meeting record shows the board approved FY27 insurance renewals as provided by Community Insurance, approved DNR MMP annual updates for four named operations, and approved claims to be paid totaling $127,228.23. The board also approved a fireworks permit for the T-bone Days event and granted a liquor license to WINETIME. Attorney Chris Swensen presented an updated agreement between the county and ACED, which the board approved as presented.
On equipment, the board approved purchasing a John Deere lawnmower with snowblower attachments to be shared 50/50 between the Courthouse and Emergency Management Departments.
The meeting proceeded by unanimous votes on listed motions; no roll-call breakdown beyond unanimous approval is recorded in the minutes. The board recessed for a short period and held a work session led by Auditor Frederiksen to review month-end reports before adjourning at 1:43 p.m.
The board did not set detailed implementation timelines for the paving contract or mower purchase in the minutes; staff follow-up items are implicit in the contract approvals and the auditor’s instruction to adjust accounting records for the reimbursement transfer.
