Board hears update on stalled Bug Tussel radio project and carbon-credit status
Summary
Chair Brian Ernst told the board Bug Tussel is noncommittal on a radio tower project; the county co‑signed a $15 million bond and the 60‑day deadline to begin work has passed. The administrator was instructed to study options, including potential cancellation of the bond agreement.
Board Chair Brian Ernst reported during the May 19, 2026 meeting that the county's discussions with Bug Tussel on a proposed radio-tower project remain unresolved. Ernst said "Bug Tussel remains noncommittal and the 60-days deadline has passed for a project," and that the county's carbon credits remain on the market unsold. The Executive Committee asked County Administrator Nick Trimner to investigate the consequences and options if the county cancels the bond agreement tied to the project; minutes indicate the county is a co-signer on a $15 million bond should Bug Tussel default.
Law Enforcement and Executive Committee reports also referenced the Law Enforcement Radio Project and ongoing staffing and operational considerations for county EMS and radio coverage. The administrator and county staff will report back to the Executive Committee; related materials and details on bond terms are available on the Price County government YouTube account per the meeting record.
