Deuel County approves MOU transferring bridge 95861MM to Mehurin Township
Summary
Deuel County Commissioners approved a memorandum of understanding assigning 100% ownership and maintenance of Bridge 95861MM to Mehurin Township and 100% inspection responsibility to Lac qui Parle County (MN). The action passed unanimously.
The Deuel County Commissioners on July 7 approved a memorandum of understanding that assigns full ownership and maintenance responsibility for Bridge 95861MM to Mehurin Township and gives Lac qui Parle County (Minnesota) responsibility for inspection.
Highway Superintendent Jamie Broksieck presented the MOU, noting the structure sits on the state line between Antelope Valley Township (Deuel County) and Mehurin Township (Lac qui Parle County). The board voted to approve and sign the agreement on a motion by Commissioner Steve Rhody, seconded by Commissioner Scott Fieber; all voted yes.
The MOU records intergovernmental allocation of duties—ownership and maintenance to Mehurin Township and inspection to Lac qui Parle County—but does not specify future funding beyond normal maintenance and inspection procedures. Commissioners did not record any amendments to the document at the meeting.
The action transfers clear operational responsibility for the bridge to the township and formalizes inspection oversight with Deuel County’s Minnesota neighbor. The commission proceeded to other bridge-grant business after approving the MOU.
