The Wright County Board of Supervisors convened on December 9, 2024, to address several key agenda items, including infrastructure projects and public safety reports.
The meeting commenced with Adam Clemens, the Wright County engineer, presenting Resolution 2024-33. This resolution authorizes Clemens to sign on behalf of the board for the bridge replacement project at Voss Quarry on C70. A motion to approve the resolution was made by Supervisor Clues and seconded by Supervisor Rasmussen. The resolution passed unanimously with a roll call vote, receiving support from Clues, Rasmussen, and Helderbold.
Following the resolution, Clemens provided an update on secondary road activities. He reported that 18 work orders were completed in the previous week. Additionally, snow equipment was installed by blade operators in preparation for winter, and crews continued to inventory culverts while completing ditch burning in problematic areas.
The board then moved to approve the claims for the month, which included a report from the Wright County Sheriff. The total claims amounted to $1,811.74, covering county car service, mileage, and weapons permits. The motion to approve these claims was passed without opposition.
Daryl Stevens presented an engagement letter for the establishment of an urban renewal district. He discussed the importance of this initiative in retaining businesses in Wright County, highlighting his previous experience with the firm involved in the process.
The meeting concluded with an open forum, allowing for public input, although no attendees chose to address the board at that time. Overall, the meeting focused on infrastructure improvements and public safety, with significant steps taken towards enhancing the county's development initiatives.
