The Marshall County Commission met Tuesday morning, addressing a range of county business, from infrastructure projects to emergency planning.
Commissioners opened bids for the Highway Chip Seal Project but postponed a decision in order to further review individual project costs. The matter will be revisited at a future meeting.
Jerry Burger was in attendance at the meeting, again raising concerns about a culvert on 108th Street. Commissioners agreed to place the item on the May agenda for further discussion.
Joel Erickson and Jeff Roehr of Sisseton Township met with the board regarding rural access infrastructure funding. The township had previously applied for grant funding for a project but was not selected and is now seeking reconsideration. Commissioners noted that additional funding is expected through recent legislation, though the exact amount has not yet been determined.
Emergency Management Director Logan Roehr presented an updated local emergency operations plan, which was approved by the board.
The commission also revisited a potential relocation of the Marshall County Food Pantry within the Community Building. Pantry directors Russ and Marie Marlow plan to speak with the county’s veterans service officer about a possible space swap within the building. The topic will be taken up again at a future meeting.
An executive session was held for contract negotiations. No action was taken following the session.
In other business, commissioners approved a variance request from Ronnie Grajczyk in Buffalo Township. A plat for Schultz Lot 3 in Hamilton Township was also approved. Building permits were accepted for Mervin Anderson Jr. in Buffalo Township, and a building permit for Brett Buchheim (#79-25) was extended to April 21, 2026.
