Summary
At the Aug. 6, 2024 meeting the Buffalo County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to accept a highway fuel bid from Total Oil, increase sheriff fees from $15 to $25, and approve payroll and vendor claims. The board also heard financial reports and discussed two items with no action.
Chairman Dawn Cable called the Buffalo County Board of Commissioners to order Aug. 6, 2024, and the board moved quickly through routine business, voting unanimously on several motions affecting county operations.
Commissioner Rex Zastrow moved and Chairman Dawn Cable seconded a motion to accept the agenda and later to approve minutes from July 2, July 12, July 23 and Aug. 2, 2024; both motions carried by all voting Aye.
The board approved a highway fuel bid from Total Oil, Inc. after Buffalo County Highway Superintendent Tanner Grohs addressed the commission.
