Clay County commissioners approved a set of routine procurement and administrative items, including acceptance of a local vehicle vendor’s bid, authorization for easement signings, adoption of two resolutions to remove structures from the National Bridge Inventory, and several budget adjustments.
On bids and procurement, staff recommended accepting a local dealer's vehicle bids after accounting for estimated public-sale trade-in values; the board moved and approved the recommendation by voice vote. The board also authorized the chair to sign easement documents for structure 14-103-090 after staff confirmed two separate easement forms were ready for signature.
Two resolutions to remove structures from the federal National Bridge Inventory were adopted. Resolution 2025-36 (deleting structures 14-20-06 and 14-030-092) and Resolution 2025-37 (deleting 14-033-090 and 14-135-013) were presented with staff verification that the items no longer meet the technical definition of a bridge. The board recorded affirmations during the roll-call-style confirmations and the motions passed.
Other approvals included acceptance of a propane quote for county shop fuel, payment of a culvert invoice (Culvert 903), authorization for a Juvenile Detention Center (JDC) contract with an amended rate, and a $9,820.54 IT/safety center equipment quote from Ericsson that the board authorized the chair to sign. The board also approved Resolution 2025-38 (contingency transfers to judicial catastrophic legal, human resources, community health nurse, domestic abuse accounts) and Resolution 2025-39 to accept an unexpected emergency management grant and associated supplement.
