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.
Check Valve Compliance. 2 check valves have
been installed and inspected.
New Business.
Approval of Bills. Moved by Ellis to approve
all bills as presented. Seconded by Weier. Motion carried.
