County meeting packet lists $436,005.26 in vendor claims; transcript shows no recorded vote
An accounts-payable listing in the meeting materials showed vendor payments totaling $436,005.26, but the transcript supplied to the reporter contains only the itemized vendor and amount list and does not record any motion or vote on the claims. The packet lists dozens of vendors and invoice amounts across categories such as insurance, IT, medical supplies, utilities and road/maintenance services.

The largest single line items shown in the list include Wellmark Blue Cross at $87,000.00; Vanguard Appraisals at $65,286.00; Prairie Ridge Integrated (Medication Assisted Treatment distribution) at $47,410.59; Motorola Solutions (software) at $27,748.47; and Carrier Access IT LLC (cybersecurity) at $20,522.59. The list also shows common recurring categories such as utilities (Alliant Energy, MidAmerican Energy), fuels (NuWay-K&H Co-op), repairs and parts for vehicles and equipment, printing and office leases, and medical or public-health purchases.

Because the transcript provided contains only the vendor list, it does not supply meeting context such as the date, which board or committee introduced the claims item, discussion among members, staff explanations, or a recorded vote. The listing in the transcript appears to be the claims/warrants printout or accounts-payable register prepared for the meeting packet rather than verbatim debate or a motion text.

The absence of a recorded vote or motion in the supplied transcript means the document does not show whether the governing body approved, tabled or amended the claims at that meeting. Readers requesting the official action should consult the meeting minutes or the county clerk’s office for the certified record and any roll-call votes.

The itemized claims list may be of interest because it shows how public funds were allocated across categories and vendors in the period covered by the packet. Major expenditures included employee or benefits-related payments (Wellmark), appraisal services (Vanguard Appraisals), substance-use treatment distribution (Prairie Ridge Integrated), and substantial IT and cybersecurity contracts and licenses. The transcript does not specify funding sources (budget line items, grants or reserves) for the payments.
