Supervisors approve $30,000 contribution to New Hampton for Phase 2 water loop after larger funding fails
Summary
After a split vote rejected a $78,433.33 contribution, the Chickasaw County Board approved a reduced $30,000 28E agreement with the City of New Hampton for Phase 2 of the Water Loop Project; the expenditure is contingent on a public hearing for a budget amendment.
The Chickasaw County Board of Supervisors approved on July 27 a $30,000 contribution to the City of New Hampton for Phase 2 of the county’s Water Loop Project.
The successful motion, made by Supervisor Suckow and seconded by Supervisor Breitbach, specified that the county would "participate in a 28E Agreement with the City of New Hampton in funding Phase 2 Water Loop Project for $30,000.00 using the Betterment Fund contingent on a Public Hearing for a budget amendment." Roll call was Ayes — Suckow, Breitbach, Carter; Nay — Cerwinske; Abstained — Hackman. The motion carried.
Earlier in the meeting a larger funding motion failed. Supervisor Carter moved, seconded by Supervisor Breitbach, to "participate in a 28E Agreement with the City of New Hampton in funding Phase 2 Water Loop Project for $78,433.33 using the Betterment Fund contingent on a Public Hearing for a budget amendment." That motion failed on roll call: Ayes — Carter, Breitbach; Nays — Cerwinske, Suckow; Abstained — Hackman.
Public comment had preceded the votes. Jonas Schwickerath of New Hampton Transfer & Storage shared his experience with Phase 1 of the Water Loop Project and offered his perspective on Phase 2. The board conditioned the county contribution on holding a public hearing to consider a budget amendment before funds are expended.
The board’s approvals leave the county to proceed with a formal 28E intergovernmental agreement and to schedule a public hearing tied to the required budget amendment.
