Roxanne Christensen, Emmet County Weed Commissioner, and Don Reefer, B & W Control Specialists, were unable to be at meeting. They will meet with the Board next week, February 16, 2016.

The Emmet County Engineer’s office met with the Board and presented mowing quotes for county yards, it was moved by Juhl, seconded by Pluth, to approve the mowing quotes as presented and award as follows: Armstrong Shop $30.00 per time Marlin Paulson Ringsted Shop $24.00 per time Joe Waller Wallingford Shop $30.00 per time Marlin Paulson Estherville Shop $30.00 per time Joey Manwarren Gruver Shop $30.00 per time Joey Manwarren

All ayes, motion carried.

It was moved by Quastad, seconded by Pluth to approve the final payment on P-12 overlay project FM—CO32 (47)—55-32 project in the Ringsted area. All ayes, motion carried. Dan Burton, Assistant to the Engineer, stated it was a very good road now.

Burton also presented to the Board the contract for the upcoming N52 overlay project from Hwy 9 S to the county line. Burton asked for formal Board action to award the contract to the low bid from Heartland Asphalt Inc., Mason City, Iowa, for a total bid of $2,374,974.00. A motion was made by Pluth, seconded by Juhl to award the contract to Heartland Asphalt Inc. All ayes, motion carried.

Burton also stated that secondary roads were out at 6 a.m. this morning removing snow on our roads.

Rick Hopper & Pat Boggess from Jacobson-Westergard & Associates met with the Board to discuss drainage issues. The Board visited with Hopper and Boggess about Minnesota’s outlet of water into Emmet County. Quastad will visit with Drainage Attorney, Rich Meyer, about the situation and report back to the Board. Hopper and Boggess also discussed with the Board about the possibility of updating the drainage maps, using GIS coordinates. Our current maps do not have the accuracy that GIS maps have. Updating to GIS maps, creates an easier solution to keeping the drainage maps updated and current with any new tile projects.

Motion was made by Juhl, seconded by Quastad to rescind the assessment for drainage district #26 Main approved on January 19, 2016 for .32 per unit and to replace with .113 per unit assessment totaling $28,231.21. All ayes, motion carried.

It was moved by Quastad, seconded by Pluth, to change the drainage assessment for drainage district #127 from 13.5237% approved on January 19, 2016 to .01965517%. Agreement in file states that Martin County pays 78.2% of the assessment to drainage district #127. All ayes, motion carried.

It was moved by Juhl, seconded by Pluth to sign the drainage assessment for DD#127 and Martin County’s DD#38 and forward to Martin County for payment. Total assessment is for $632.73. (Emmet’s share is $137.94 Martin County’s share per signed agreement is 78.2% or $494.79). All ayes, motion carried.

It was moved by Quastad, seconded by Pluth, to adjourn the meeting at 10:45 a.m. All ayes, motion carried.
