Fremont County’s posted claims lists for the weeks dated Sept. 3, Sept. 10, Sept. 17 and Sept. 24, 2021, and Oct. 1, 2021, show weekly totals ranging from $77,560.08 to $447,212.65 and include several large vendor payments. Notable entries include a $339,110.34 payment to Clear Title & Abstract Escrow and a $160,496.56 invoice to JNC Construction, LLC; the lists also show major road- and equipment-related charges to Schildberg Construction Co. Inc., Davis Equipment Corporation, Murphy Tractor & Equipment Co., and others. The claims lists supplied in the transcript comprise vendor names, short invoice descriptions and dollar amounts; the supplied text does not include minutes, discussion, or vote tallies about the claims. The Sept. 24 list’s grand total is $447,212.65, and earlier weekly totals in the transcript are $308,024.19 (Sept. 3), $77,560.08 (Sept. 10), $98,436.21 (Sept. 17) and $75,923.39 (Sept. 24 batch shown earlier). Several line items relate to road construction and maintenance (Secondary Road Fund), including multiple payments to Schildberg Construction Co. Inc. (examples shown: $16,645.86; $7,295.94; $9,808.71; $6,408.93; $19,209.05) and to JNC Construction, LLC ($160,496.56 and $33,821.12 in different lists). Equipment and vehicle-related charges appear across the lists, including Davis Equipment Corporation (multiple entries, e.g., $6,250.00; $700.81; $258.85), Murphy Tractor & Equip. Co. Inc. (entries such as $689.78; $779.69; $463.34), and Freightliner Truck Center Co. The transcript also includes a $72,394.00 line for “Fremont Co Emergency Mgmt Comm” and payments to regional organizations such as SW Iowa Planning Council ($13,000.00 and $1,500.00 on different lists) and So Loess Hills Welcome Center ($8,839.30). E911 and communications-related charges include a $14,000.00 entry to Cox Contracting Co., Inc. under E911 Surcharge and multiple telephony and data-processing vendors. The claims lists do not specify the purpose of the Clear Title & Abstract Escrow entry, nor do they attach contracts, project ordinances, or staff memos explaining large disbursements. The transcript supplied does not show any motion, vote, or discussion about approving the claims; it records only the printed lists of vendors and amounts. For more information about any particular line item or the county’s approval process, the county’s published claims records or the county clerk/finance office would be the next source to consult.
