Summary

County Engineer reported Bruening Rock Products began pumping a pit but equipment problems delayed work; core sampling at the county farm showed one area with quarry potential. The board approved payroll and claims, administered the oath to the medical examiner, and acknowledged several manure management updates.

County Engineer Ryne Thornburg briefed the board on secondary roads matters, telling supervisors that Bruening Rock Products had started pumping out the pit but ran into mechanical problems that have delayed work. Thornburg said three cores were drilled at the county farm, with tentative results showing one of two areas may have potential for a future quarry site. A planned re-grade southeast of Douds is temporarily on hold so blade crews can work in their blade districts.

On a motion by Meek, seconded by House, the board approved payroll (#44249-44336), claims (#2402-2487), and Secondary Roads claims (#30300-30322). The oath of office for the medical examiner (Felegi) was administered. The board also acknowledged receipt of several Manure Management Plan updates from local facilities.
