Public Works Administrator Mike Craig and Public Works Coordinating Supervisor Larry Polson reported that we have been approved for the low water crossing bridge project of $150,000 with the additional $50,000 for closing a structure for a total of $200,000 reimbursable. These dollars will be used to replace bridge in Waterville Township, Section 12 – 7th Road. The estimated cost of the project is $285,000, currently the structure is 35 x 16 and the proposed structure will be 45 x 24.
The Board and Public Works Administrator Mike Craig discussed the Haug low water crossing. This is a bridge the county could build and material cost would be approximately $60,000-$70,000. This project will be revisited at a later time.
County Counselor Jason Brinegar met with the Board. He discussed the next steps in the sale or disposition of the tax sale properties that the County now owns. Once the Board decides how they want to dispose of the properties, the process will need to be published in the newspaper twice before the time of sale. Mr. Brinegar will discuss this with the Board in the near future.
County Counselor Jason Brinegar and Clerk of the District Court Nancy Koch met with the Board. Mrs. Koch has received a bid from Network Computer Solutions in the amount of $7,753,81 to upgrade/purchase new computers for her office. She is waiting to get a bid back from Networks Plus for the services. Also, Clerk of the District Court Nancy Koch mentioned that Judge Patton would like the Clerk of the District Court to stay on the same IT services that the rest of the judicial district is in and that would be Networks Plus, therefore, the Clerk of the District Court’s office WILL NOT be included in the Network Computer Solutions IT package.
David E. Baier moved, seconded by Barbara Kickhaefer to approve the LOW BID for the Clerk of the District Court computer upgrades (either Network Computer Solutions or Networks Plus). Mrs. Koch will submit a Purchase Order in the near future. Unanimous.

$1,109.41-Treasurer’s Fund- P.O. #6110
County Treasurer Jami Ellenbecker and Agency on Aging Director Ashley Lyhane met with the Board. Title IIIC did receive part of the dollars they were expecting for reimbursement, therefore, a transfer of funds did not need to be made at this time. It has been advised that in the future, any bills that cannot be paid out of Title IIIC due to lack of funds, can and should be paid out of the General Fund.
The Board will need to draw up a Resolution and sign it to authorize the previous $45,000 transfer from the General Fund to Title IIIC.
