Board authorizes up to $5,400 for culverts as storm repairs continue
Summary
Following June storm damage, commissioners authorized purchase of 10 culverts (approx. $5,360 quoted) and agreed to coordinate delivery timing with the administrator so the district can continue urgent road repairs.
Commissioners reviewed a supplier quote for 10 high-density polyethylene culverts priced at approximately $5,360 before a small discount and debated the delivery terms after the supplier indicated a COD condition. Mark noted the urgency after recent storms: "We had all those culverts there when after the June 11 storm hit," and proposed securing inventory for upcoming repairs.
Given budget and cash-flow uncertainty tied to a pending midyear tax check, the board made a motion to approve up to $5,400 to buy the culverts; the motion passed. Commissioners instructed staff to schedule delivery for a time when the administrator can sign the payment and to confirm COD terms with the vendor. The board discussed that the culvert line item will exceed its original budget but that FEMA and other reimbursements and line-item reclassifications may offset costs.
The purchase is intended to allow DPW crews and contractors to proceed with ditching and drainage work without delays caused by parts shortages.
