The Union County Board took several routine actions during its February meeting, voting unanimously to approve meeting minutes, accept a building permit and authorize payment of county bills. The board also awarded a highway culvert contract to Metal Culverts for $55,443.70 after staff reviewed competitive bids.

Minutes: The board voted to approve the regular minutes for Jan. 24 and to accept executive‑session minutes (Nov. 8 and others discussed) and keep them closed. The roll call for the minutes votes recorded Commissioners Harville, Pitts, Miller and Bierstadt voting yes; Commissioner Gould was absent.

Building permit: The board approved a building permit for parcel number 051103142 A for a new home; staff reported the parcel is not in a subdivision and not in a floodplain. Vote: Harville, Pitts, Miller and Bierstadt — yes.

Payment of bills: The board voted to pay county bills as presented; roll call was unanimous among the four members present.

Highway culvert contract: County highway staff recommended awarding a contract to Metal Culverts after a February bid opening. Staff reported Energy Culvert’s submission omitted a price for a 60‑inch culvert; when that omission was accounted for, Metal Culverts’ aggregate prices were lower. Staff recommended authorizing a contract with Metal Culverts in the amount of $55,443.70; commissioners approved the recommendation, voting Harville, Pitts, Miller and Bierstadt — yes.

Staff said Metal Culverts anticipates roughly two weeks to deliver product once the contract is executed; the highway department noted the company previously supplied county culverts.
