Monday evening, members of the Marshall County Council received an update from their Attorney, Marcel Lebbin, on the dissolution of the Marshall County Regional Sewer District.
Lebbin said he and County Attorney Sean Surrisi spoke with the Sewer District attorney last week and were told the District plans to hold a meeting this week to "wind things up". During the meeting, the District is expected to vote to approve the transfer of funds on hand back to Star Bank.
Lebbin said they haven’t been contacted by the Sewer District’s attorney on the date and time of the meeting, but that the District understands the county’s urgency to complete the transaction and close out the District.
County Council President Tim Harman said once the funds are transferred, the county will make up the difference, which is estimated to be $1.3 to $1.5 million.
The County Council also approved the annual contract for their attorney, Marcel Lebbin. The 2026 contract uses the same rates as the 2025 agreement. The fee with Lebbin Law is based on the time spent by the attorney working on council matters. Marcel Lebbin told the council he anticipates most of the work on council matters will be done by himself at the rate of $300 per hour. Lebbin Law bills their rates in six-minute intervals.
