Board moves $2.86 million in state-aid highway funding to 2026
Summary
The commissioners amended the 2025 budget to defer $2,856,000 in state-aid highway projects to 2026; revenues and expenditures were reduced by the same amount. The board also noted reclassification of some sheriff department wages.
The Big Stone County Board approved an amendment to the 2025 budget to move $2,856,000 in state-aid highway project funding into 2026, reducing 2025 revenues and expenditures by the same amount.
Commissioner Klages introduced the amendment, which the board approved unanimously. The minutes record that the change reflects projects budgeted in 2025 that will not be completed until 2026. The motion also coincided with an administrative reclassification of some sheriff department wages from regular to part-time.
The board's action was procedural: the amendment alters the timing of project accounting but does not change project scope in the minutes. The county engineer or highway department follow-up tasks were not recorded in the meeting minutes.
