Worth County meeting approves Title VI assurances, Fertile law-enforcement addendum and routine reports

At a Worth County meeting, participants approved updated Title VI nondiscrimination assurances and the county’s agreement with the Department of Transportation, a move officials said was needed to remain compliant with federal aid requirements. The meeting also approved an addendum to a law-enforcement agreement with the city of Fertile and routine monthly and quarterly financial reports.

The Title VI documentation was introduced by Rich (Unidentified Speaker 2), who said he had updated the board chair’s name and the chain-of-command chart and moved to approve both the Title VI assurances and the DOT agreement to avoid jeopardizing federal funding. The motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.

The addendum to the law-enforcement agreement with the city of Fertile was presented and approved on a separate motion recorded by the meeting leader (Unidentified Speaker 1). Meeting minutes show the motion was seconded and the chair stated, 'Motion carries.'

Participants also approved monthly and quarterly reports after a call for a motion and a second; the vote was recorded by voice as carried. No roll-call tallies were given in the transcript; outcomes were reported as voice votes and recorded as 'Motion carries.'
