Board approves $15,000 partial payment on Simons tile invoice
Summary
Grant County drainage board voted to pay $15,000 from the Simons tile fund toward a Seward estimating invoice after discussing fund balances and expected fall collections; board members agreed to revisit remaining payment after additional revenue is posted.
The Grant County Drainage Board voted to pay $15,000 toward Seward estimating’s outstanding Simons tile invoice at its meeting.
Board member Mary moved to apply $15,000 from the Simons tile fund to reduce the contractor’s $36,900 bill; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Board members noted the fund currently holds about $17,130 and that another roughly $8,000 is expected to be collected in the fall.
The board discussed options for paying a portion now and addressing the balance later, citing the seasonal collection schedule and the practical need to keep work moving. Staff told the board that the Seward invoice remains unpaid in full and that paying a portion would reduce the outstanding amount while preserving funds for other summer claims.
Members raised questions about related work on nearby tiles and whether adjacent landowners should contribute if their portions of old tile remain in service. The board agreed to reconvene on remaining payments after fall collections are posted.
The board recorded the motion and carried it by voice vote; no detailed roll-call tally was provided in the transcript. The next steps will be to apply the payment and track remaining collections and invoices.
