(Guthrie Center, IA) — The Guthrie County Board of Supervisors approved three resolutions at Tuesday’s meeting.
Number one, Guthrie County approved a rate of compensation of fence — it will be 95 dollars per rod for fence of any type that is removed. In addition, Guthrie County will compensate the landowners 250 dollars per assembly for each additional corner post or brace post combination needed in order to construct a new fence due to change. The Supervisors voted 4-1 with Mike Dickson objecting.
Number two, Guthrie County approved a right of way and temporary easement purchase rate of 6.69 times the county assessor’s valuation of the land with no payment for a single temporary easement equaling less than $250,000. The Supervisors approved this 3-2 with Dickson and JD Kuster objecting.
