The Richland County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 18, 2025, recorded several routine approvals and one deferral during its meeting.
Minutes amendments: Commissioners approved proposed corrections to the Feb. 11, 2025 minutes to clarify that a committee had “discussed” — not formally proposed — a matter and to adjust sentence capitalization in the solar-and-wind discussion. The minutes amendment passed on a roll call.
Richland County Children’s Services vehicle: The board approved a motion to declare a 2024 Honda assigned to Children’s Services a total loss after an accident; staff (Andrew Keller and county administration) were instructed to continue pursuing restitution options. The vehicle’s stated mileage and insurance/ restitution details are under county review.
Maintenance overtime resolution: Commissioners approved overtime for the maintenance department related to the JFS reconfiguration project, which includes moving cubicles, drywall patching, painting and rehanging doors.
Computer purchase: The board approved the purchase of seven desktop computers (described in the meeting materials as ThinkCentre units) to replace outdated machines and support a forthcoming software upgrade tied to Windows 11 compatibility. The purchase amount was stated in the meeting materials and discussed on the record as approximately $8,066.05 for the seven units.
AFSCME MOU: The board approved an extension of a probationary period in a memorandum of understanding with AFSCME, extending the probationary period from Feb. 25 through May 30, 2025.
King Office Services (COSI) agreements: Two routine agreements with King Office Services for annual proactive maintenance and disaster recovery were discussed. Commissioners did not take action at the meeting; they deferred final approval until staff can verify last year’s contract figures and confirm the current prices.
All approvals listed above were taken on the record; where the transcript did not identify a specific mover or seconder, the minutes record the vote totals and outcome.
