Commissioners address public works complaints, stoplight grant ineligibility and engineer transition
Summary
Residents complained about Public Works vehicle use on 18th Avenue; the board learned the county is not eligible for a stoplight economic development grant and set Nick Klisch's last day as Public Works Director for Sept. 25, 2025, while discussing wage scale and building updates.
Commissioner Donna Gravley reported complaints from residents on 18th Avenue about Public Works vehicle use; Public Works Superintendent Jed Rhubee said the street was used during a move to a new building and staff were recently instructed not to use 18th Avenue. The Auditor/Treasurer asked about applying for an Economic Development Grant to fund a stoplight at Highways 62 and 60; Public Works Director Nick Klisch responded that the county would not be eligible because it already receives state aid funds.
The board also set Nick Klisch's last day with the county as September 25, 2025, and discussed the County Engineer wage scale and courthouse building issues, including landings and windows. Commissioner Appel asked the Auditor/Treasurer to prepare budget information for the July 22 special meeting; discussions about a possible surplus-item auction and a meeting with attorney Ron Schramel about selling old Public Works buildings were recorded.
