Committee moves to require Town of Buffalo to file joint petition for reimbursement
Summary
Citing incidents where townships contracted work without petitions and then billed the County, the Buffalo County Highway Committee voted to work with the Town of Buffalo and require a 2026 joint petition for reimbursement in 2027.
Staff reported the joint-petition reimbursement process is breaking down: contractors are performing township projects without submitted petitions, and townships then bill the County for 50% of cost after the fact. The minutes note that joint petitions should be filed by Sept. 5 of the year prior and that the Township must provide 50% of costs in advance per process.
Mr. Ruff moved to work with the Town of Buffalo to clear up these projects and to require the Town of Buffalo to fill out a joint petition form in 2026 to be eligible for 2027 reimbursement. Mr. Michaels seconded the motion; the minutes record the motion as carried. The minutes do not list individual vote tallies.
