The decision was unanimous and the fee is eligible for grant reimbursement under program guidance.
The Calumet County Land and Water Conservation Committee on June 4 approved a $50 hourly fee for engineering services related to the Fox‑Wolf Watershed Alliance 'Advancing Markets for Producers' program. Motion by McCann, seconded by Lowey, to approve the $50 hourly fee for engineering services; the motion carried unanimously.
Department staff had presented guidance that the county contracts with eligible local farms to provide engineering assistance and that engineering fees qualify for reimbursement under the grant program. Committee members discussed how standardizing the hourly fee would affect billing and grant reimbursement processes and asked staff to ensure documentation supports grant claims.
The committee did not attach additional conditions to the fee approval. The committee will revisit implementation details through staff reports if questions about billing or eligibility arise at future meetings.
