The Columbia County Board of Commissioners approved several administrative and program items during the meeting, adopting a six‑year transportation plan, a quarry site use and rock royalty agreement, a part‑time janitorial job and salary schedule adjustment, an Americans with Disabilities Act grievance/notice policy for county facilities, and a procedural resolution.
Those measures matter because they affect near‑term road projects and funding, authorize a local quarry contract that provides rock for county work, formalize a county ADA grievance procedure, and adjust staffing policy for a part‑time janitorial position.
The board approved the following motions (summary):
• Resolution 2025‑02 (procedural): A motion to adopt Resolution 2025‑02 (procedural rules as read into the record) was called and approved by voice vote. The motion was presented near the start of the meeting and carried on an aye vote.
• Quarry site contract and rock royalty agreement: The board approved a contract and quarry site use agreement between Columbia County Public Works and Pinner Quarry (Kellogg/Kellett Hollow project area) to allow use of quarry material and pay rock royalties. A county staff member moved the contract; the motion passed by voice vote.
• Six‑year transportation plan (Resolution 2025‑1): The board adopted Resolution 2025‑1, the county’s six‑year transportation/pavement preservation plan. County public works staff explained that the Kellogg Hollow phase would be shifted into a federally funded project and design money would be obligated; the resolution to adopt the plan passed by voice vote.
• Part‑time janitorial job description and salary schedule: The commission approved an adjustment to the job description and salary schedule for a part‑time, non‑benefited janitorial employee under Public Works. A motion to adopt the job description and schedule passed by voice vote.
• ADA grievance notice and procedure: The board adopted a county notice and grievance procedure under the Americans with Disabilities Act and directed that the notice and grievance form be placed in the county handbook and on the county website. The ADA coordinator presented the policy; the motion passed by voice vote.
Each of the above motions was made during the meeting and carried by voice vote. Where a named mover was stated on the record, it was a county staff member or commissioner; no roll‑call tallies with individual member names were recorded in the transcript excerpt provided.
Looking ahead, the transportation plan adoption authorizes design obligations that county staff said will position projects to seek additional state or redistributed funds; the ADA policy will be posted to the county handbook and website with a 15‑ and 30‑day response timeline for initial and final determinations, respectively. The quarry agreement authorizes immediate use of local material for county projects under the terms described in the contract presented to the board.
Votes recorded in the meeting transcript were voice votes; the clerk announced “aye” and the presiding officer declared the motions carried.
