CLINTON â The Clinton County Board of Supervisors has voiced its support to potentially levy $4.75 million over seven years for communications upgrades.
The Clinton County Board of Supervisors on Monday indicated its support for levying that amount, needed to make repairs after the Aug. 10 derecho destroyed communications equipment. The board did not take any action or hold an official vote on the amount or length of the bond Monday. This will be decided at a future board meeting.
Clinton County Auditor Eric Van Lancker said the county still plans to publish an amount of $5.4 million for the public hearing, which is the estimated cost of the project. The county can lower the amount after the public hearing but cannot raise the amount. The county intends to utilize the general supplemental fund, which would cover the cost of the tower and installation costs if the county bonds at $4.75 million.
