BROKEN BOW – The Custer County Board of Supervisors held its final meeting of June on Tuesday morning. Only Supervisor Parliament was absent.
Upon entering the Board of Equalizations, the supervisors approved corrections for roughly 25 properties across all 7 districts. Additionally, the board reviewed motor vehicle exemption applications, an annual process. All in all, 34 vehicles were approved for exemption across 10 religious, charitable, or otherwise nonprofit organizations.
One right-of-way crossing was approved for CPPD 14 miles northeast of Oconto, and the board approved the state print shop in Lincoln to print postcards for LB644.
Two resolutions passed unanimously: Resolution #13-2023 and Resolution #14-2023. The first would allow prepaying for a recently-accepted bid for a new truck for the Sheriff’s Office; the proposal was a cautionary measure to save the county’s “spot in line” for the vehicle given the scarcity and a possible increase in price.
The second resolution approved by the board allowed a transfer of funds for exceeded budget expenditures for the current year; the general, personnel, and miscellaneous general funds all outstripped the county’s budget for the year.
The money would come from adequate cash flow from the general and insurance funds to cover the expenses.
The addendum to the Department of Health and Human Services contract will be returned to DHHS for further questions regarding insurance coverage.
The board approved a lease agreement with Five Points Bank regarding Bobcat rentals for the Highway Department; the agreement allows for the department to exchange leased equipment after 250 hours of operation.
Arnold and Cliff Townships had their disaster loans renewed by the supervisors; both townships will now have until May 31, 2024, to repay the debt.
Sid Vose, by recommendation of Veterans Service Officer Emory Haynes and unanimous approval of the supervisors, will serve another 5-year term on the Veterans Service Committee.
The end-of-month claims were approved unanimously, as well. The board entered executive session at 11:34 a.m.
