The Grant County Commission held its regular meeting on September 25, 2025, addressing several key issues, including the approval of indigent burials and significant IT projects aimed at enhancing data management.

The meeting began with a brief report from elected officials, which concluded without any substantial updates. The commission then moved to the consent agenda, where a motion to approve indigent burials was unanimously passed.

A notable discussion centered on the approval of inventory deletions from the dispatch office, specifically outdated printers. This motion was also approved without opposition.

The commission then reviewed two IT projects that are part of the current fiscal year's budget. The first project involves migrating data from Google Workspace to a Microsoft platform, which is expected to provide a more suitable environment for the county's needs. The second project focuses on revamping the backup infrastructure to enhance data storage capacity and security. Both contracts, totaling over $268,000, received approval from the commissioners.

Additionally, the meeting included an update on the Gorda Caminos 2026 budget. The program is projected to complete the fiscal year with approximately 76,600 rides, a slight increase from the previous year. The budget for the upcoming fiscal year includes a 5% salary increase for staff, setting regular drivers' wages at $16.18 per hour and CDL drivers at $17.05 per hour.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the commission's commitment to improving county services through technology upgrades and support for community needs. The next steps will involve implementing the approved IT projects and finalizing the Gorda Caminos budget for the upcoming year.
