Board approves routine claims, appointments and small repairs; reimburses $200 for drainage damage

The Dickinson County Board of Supervisors approved several routine actions including a $200 reimbursement to landowners for grass‑buffer damage linked to drainage repairs, appointments to a reclassification panel, a final payment for trail work and multiple drainage claims.

Clerk (S9) summarized an email recommending a $200 reimbursement to Arlette and Laird Spoo after drainage work affected about 0.5 acre of grass buffer; the board moved and approved the payment by voice vote. The board also appointed Melvin Wormont and Greg Feldman as reclassification commissioners for Drainage District No. 6 after a motion and second.

Staff (S2) reported the DOT audit is complete for the Clay County connection phase 1 and recommended final acceptance and a final payment of $9,311.24 to Beck Excavating (change order no. 2 accounted for billed quantities); the board approved the final payment and acceptance. The board also approved several drainage district claims, small county force repairs estimated at under $2,000 per repair, and a communications permit request for construction utilities along a county highway right‑of‑way.
