County counsel presented a proposed settlement to resolve an insurance claim tied to a collision between a motorcyclist and a road department vehicle. Counsel said the county would authorize $2,000 to Progressive Direct Insurance to resolve and release future claims arising from the incident.

"You would be authorizing $2,000 being paid out on behalf of that accident, which would resolve any future claims," county attorney Jeff Stott said. The commission approved the payment by unanimous voice vote.
