The McLeod County Board approved several procurement and services items on April 21, including park receptacles, an aggregate surfacing contract for park roads and two annual safety service renewals.
John Jerbeck, parks and fairgrounds manager, described the recommended trash receptacles from Hilliard Inc. (Hutchinson) at a cost of $13,747.60, saying the new units replace degraded steel barrels and have secured lids and a door for emptying. "These tops actually don't remove," a parks staff member explained during Q&A, adding the design reduces wind and rain intrusion and simplifies collection; the board approved the purchase.
The board also awarded PK520026‑008, the parks' aggregate surfacing project, to Hansen Gravel Inc. for $83,928.25; staff noted the engineer's estimate was $85,000 and set a May 4–20 construction window to avoid peak campground use.
Separately, staff presented renewal of annual service agreements with SafeAssure Consultants Inc. for general safety training and procedures ($4,675.43) and for OSHA/public‑works safety training ($7,458.07); the board approved both renewals.
Provenance: parks staff presentation and SafeAssure items (SEG 930–SEG 1112; SEG 1520–SEG 1563).
