Pulaski County Council elects officers, approves solar compliance funds and moves routine business
Summary
The Pulaski County Council elected leadership for the year and approved a resolution to establish funds for solar project compliance services.
The Pulaski County Council elected leadership for the year and approved a series of routine but formal items, including a resolution to establish funds to receive solar-company payments and pay an engineering contractor.
Council members selected Mike as council president and Sheila as vice president by voice vote. The actions were handled by motion, second and voice vote; individual roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
The council considered a resolution to create four county funds tied to a contract with BS Engineering for solar project compliance services. Council members said the previous commissioners had executed the contract; the council approved a resolution directing that solar companies deposit required fees into the newly established funds and that the county pay BS Engineering from those funds.
Other routine actions approved included adopting the regular meeting minutes for Dec. 9, 2024, and changing the joint-session and regular meeting schedule (joint sessions to start at 5 p.m., regular council meetings to start at 6 p.m.). The council also approved several board appointments, including reappointing Michael White to the Peter Boa board for 2025.
Edwina, a representative of the county health department, asked the council for permission to spend money from an existing grant fund (Fund 8912) to repaint the health department office. She said the department had funds in an old grant and estimated labor at $3,000 and paint at about $750; she asked permission to appropriate the money. Council members advised that at the price point the department should solicit at least two or three written quotes by email; a motion to advertise solicitation for bids or price quotes was made and seconded and the council approved advertising. A separate motion to appropriate $37,100 from Fund 8912 was discussed; the council indicated the appropriation would be handled after solicitation and advertising and would be considered at the next meeting.
The meeting concluded after public comment and routine adjournment motions.
