Old Business. 2 Final Payments to BV County. Clerk read an excerpt from the BV County Board of Supervisors meeting from 1/3/04:
At the July 8, 2003, meeting Linn Grove Mayor Dennis Graesing had requested that the final two payments be
forgiven in the reimbursement agreement for work done on the city’s farm-to-market extension. With the transfer
of jurisdiction of the road, and therefore the loss of road use tax, the city will not have a source of funding for the
remaining two payments. Motion by Gustafson to void Linn Grove’s final two reimbursement payments for the
work done on the farm-to-market road extension, and to enter into an agreement to do so. Carried.
The final two payments forgiven totaled $8708.14.
