Later, Bullock moved to accept Knife River’s bid to lay asphalt on Boyd/Cooney Road; Miller seconded and the vote carried. Commissioner Scott Blain said the county plans to begin laying asphalt this fall.
The board approved a consent agenda covering a slate of routine items, which the minutes list as: a $5,220 purchase request for fair cleaning services; Carbon County claim approvals for the September 2025 accounting period; Commissioners’ proceedings from Sept. 11 and Sept. 16, 2025; a credit application for Sam Kalliveg; a vendor invoice and a request for relief related to Roberts Water & Sewer District well house improvements and ARPA grant relief; a reimbursement request for channel migration zone mapping; a $412,692.75 purchase request for an airport paving project; Justice Court and Clerk & Recorder reconciliations; a $2,500 monthly cash item for the county treasurer; a $2,611.53 district court disbursement; a Road Department encroachment application and permit for Tetra Tech; and timer approvals covering Sept. 21 to Oct. 4, 2025.
