Votes at a glance: Todd County Fiscal Court actions and approvals
Summary
Todd County Fiscal Court approved multiple actions including a pavement pilot grant application, an ordinance discontinuing a county road, park project awards totaling about $1.4 million, and authorization to bid jail service contracts.
Todd County Fiscal Court took multiple actions during the meeting. Key votes and outcomes are summarized below.
Resolution 25-4 — Rubber-modified asphalt pilot The court approved Resolution 25-4 to apply for a state grant that would pave half of a 1.66-mile section of Henderson Road with traditional asphalt and the other half with rubber-modified asphalt for annual performance comparison. County staff estimated the county share at about $65,000 and the state-funded rubber-modified portion at about $101,000. (Motion made and seconded; approved by voice vote.)
Ordinance (second reading) — Discontinue Highlight Road from county maintenance The court held the second reading and adopted the ordinance discontinuing Highlight Road from county maintenance. A roll-call was taken: Squire Turner — Yes; Squire Brookshire — Yes; Squire Blake — Yes; Marquard Bryant — Yes; Omar Oliver — Yes; Judge — Yes. The county will remove maintenance signs and the landowner may place private signage if desired.
Child Support insurance reimbursement procedure The court approved a revised payment procedure for child-support-office-related health insurance reimbursements after new auditors from the attorney general’s office required a clearer paper trail. Under the new process, the county will pay insurance invoices in full and the Child Support Office will seek reimbursement per auditor expectations. (Motion made and seconded; approved by voice vote.)
Jail contracts — Food and medical services (authorize bids) The court authorized staff to advertise and solicit competitive bids for the jail’s food service and medical-provider contracts so returned bids can be included in the April budget. The jail administrator cited potential food-service price increases from the current contractor and recommended bidding both services together to obtain final numbers. (Motion made and seconded; approved by voice vote.)
Park project awards The court approved five park project awards (Cliffy School Park, Elton Park, Guthrie, Sharon Road, Trenton) totaling about $1.4 million. The county will act as fiscal agent; applicants must submit invoices to the county for payment and were warned the amounts are one-time awards with no guarantee of additional funding for overruns. (Motion made and seconded; approved by voice vote.)
Other routine approvals and actions The court approved minutes from the Powell Lake Road hearing and the regular meeting of February 14; approved budget transfers and accounts payable (items discussed but approved by motion); renewed an annual SonicWall subscription for dispatch cybersecurity protection; approved payment of $50 each to road reviewers Lillard Raider and Chad Hampton; authorized advertising for fencing work at the soccer complex; and scheduled a joint planning commission meeting for March 6 at 5 p.m. in the courthouse. The court also moved to enter a closed session to discuss the emergency management director search.
Where motions did not include roll-call tallies, the transcript records voice approvals (all those in favor say "aye"); only the Highlight Road ordinance recorded individual roll-call 'Yes' votes for named court members.
Full actions recorded at the meeting are available in the minutes and in the individual agenda items for more detail.
