November 24, 2015:
The Fremont County Board of Supervisors met in regular session on Tuesday, November 24, 2015, in the Fremont County Courthouse Boardroom, with Hickey, Hendrickson and Morgan present. A quorum was declared and the meeting officially called to order at 9:00 a.m. Minutes of the previous board session were read and approved. The agenda was approved as posted.
Sandy Graybill met with the board requesting $7,500 of Fremont County Betterment money for an estimated cost for SWIPCO to draw up a plan for a Swift Money project L575 (system wide improvement frame work) that incorporates five different drainage districts in Fremont County. Also present were Glen Stenzel, Michael Stenzel, Ron Sargent, Chris Dashner, Kenneth Howery, Wayne Clark and Bob Woltemath. Part of the group was from a district towards to north part of the county, and were requesting the same $7,500 for their district, saying they are in the process of doing a LOY which has be submitted, but has not been accepted because of minor variations that they think SWIPCO can handle quite quickly. Morgan asked if it could be rolled into the same thing, they said no. Hendrickson asked if some of this is in Mills County, the answer was yes. Morgan said the Hamburg District is on the agenda so they need to make a decision on that right now, and see what Mills County will do to help out the other group. Hendrickson said he has a problem using Fremont County tax dollars to pay for Nemaha County and Atchison County, and feels there are levee funds in the district to pay for this. Hendrickson does not think tax payers would appreciate spending their money for Atchison County and Nemaha County improvements. Morgan said the structure affects the majority of Fremont County. Graybill said the funds are for drawing the plans that will be credited for the next two years. Graybill said each district is going to have to come up with lots and lots of money to do the repairs necessary. Morgan made a motion to use the funds out of Fremont County Betterment because she believes it effects the majority of the county. Hendrickson said his opinion is we should not be using Fremont County tax dollars in two other states. Hendrickson, nay; Morgan, aye; Hickey, aye
