Teresa Shute, supervisor of the Ellsworth County noxious weed department, recycling program and landfill, is not pleased with the insurance claim settlement check she received for hail damage to her buildings after a hailstorm last year.

“It’s still not enough,” Shute told Ellsworth County commissioners during a Dec. 23 meeting.

Shute said she received $1,261.60 to repair the hail damage sustained on her buildings. However, just to replace one window in the noxious weed office will cost $1,600, according to an estimate she received from Wenz Interiors of Holyrood.

Shelly Vopat, county clerk, said she would call KCAMP, the county’s insurance carrier, about the situation.

Shute said she would get a bid to repair her damaged guttering.
