Discussion was held about options for paying off the balance of an intercap loan held with the Department of Commerce for the dump/transfer site and equipment purchased for the transfer site. A motion was approved to pay the loan balance with funds borrowed from Daniels-Sheridan Federal Credit Union at a fixed rate of five percent.
Neil Holum provided an update from the Daniels County Fire Department. His report included a Sept. 14 incident involving the department’s 1980 one-ton truck, which hit a washout, pushing the front axle back on the driver’s side and resulting in a broken window and body damage. Holum said he didn’t think the vehicle was worth fixing, as repairs could be as much as $2,500. No action was taken.
A service agreement was approved with Tyler Technologies for moving the county’s financial software to the cloud.
