Commissioners approve claims and routine business; Rivera abstains on two River A Holdings items

The Dawes County Board of Commissioners approved its routine monthly claims, fee and mileage reports and the Sept. 8 meeting minutes during the Sept. 22 meeting.

Board members voted first to approve the claims generally and then held a separate vote on two items identified as claim numbers 26090163 and 26090199 payable to River A Holdings. The second motion to approve those two River A Holdings claims passed with Commissioners Stewart and Juhlin voting yes and Chairman Vic Rivera recorded as abstaining.

The board also confirmed that claims for multiple county funds had been audited and allowed; the longer claims list provided at the end of the meeting included vendors ranging from Blue Cross & Blue Shield to the Chadron Community Hospital and listed detailed fund codes and dollar amounts for each audited warrant.
