Kingsbury County to pursue state transportation study; county caps share at $50,000
Summary
The Board accepted a state transportation study grant (80/20 cost share) and authorized proceeding with a county share cap of $50,000, appointing a three-member committee including the Highway Superintendent and two commissioners.
Kingsbury County reported it received a state transportation study grant with an 80/20 cost share and directed staff to move forward with participation, capping the county’s share at $50,000.
Highway Superintendent Dave Sorenson told the Board the total study costs were estimated at about $180,000, with the county’s share likely near $36,000 but the exact amount to be finalized when grant paperwork is complete. Sorenson recommended a three-member committee to oversee the study: Sorenson as Highway Superintendent and Commissioners Kyle Lee and Roger Walls. On a motion by Commissioner Corey Lundquist the Board authorized proceeding with the transportation study at a maximum county cost of $50,000 and appointed the proposed committee; all present voted aye.
The Board noted final county obligations depend on finalized grant paperwork and cost estimates from the state; the motion sets an internal cap rather than a precise final cost figure.
