Franklin County commissioners approved a series of commission orders that included contract corrections, equipment purchases, bid awards and a personnel policy revision intended to shorten employee waiting periods for paid time off.
The commissioners approved corrections to an existing pricing supplement agreement with TransUnion Risk and Alternative Data Solutions (Commission Order 2025-52) to amend an incorrect effective date. An amendment adding operating expenses related to Internet service for the health department was also approved (Commission Order 2025-53).
The commission approved adjustments to the personal property tax books for 2024 handled by the collector’s office (Commission Order 2025-54). The board accepted railroad and utility collections to be distributed to general special road and bridge funds for 2024 (Commission Order 2025-55).
County officials authorized a cash sale and maintenance agreement with GFI Digital to purchase a new printer for the Franklin County collector’s office (Commission Order 2025-56). The board approved an amendment with Local 148 affecting the highway department’s earned PTO hours for the first year (Commission Order 2025-57) and adopted a revised personnel policy (previously tabled) that shortens the PTO eligibility wait from six months to three months and reduces the minimum block for critical illness leave from three days to one day (Commission Order 2025-39).
Bids and equipment approvals included a $50,498 award to Pac West for printing and mailing assessor change notices (Commission Order 2025-58); a bid from New Frontier Materials LLC for trap rock used in chip seals at $19.50 per ton and $45.50 per ton delivered (Commission Order 2025-59); and approval of an open-ended bid with Don Brown Chevrolet for SUVs at $44,535 per vehicle for the sheriff’s department (Commission Order 2025-60).
Jim, a highway department representative, explained that the trap rock for chip seals is sourced from a limited area (Iron Mountain quarry) and that New Frontier submitted the winning bid. “It’s only available at a certain area, from Iron Mountain where New Frontier has their quarry,” he said, explaining limited supplier options. County staff confirmed the vehicle and materials purchases were within existing budgets and would be delivered over the course of the year.
All of the listed commission orders were approved "as written" by voice vote during the meeting.
