Franklin County Commission approves road vacation, dispatch agreement and $451,953.90 road-and-bridge award
Summary
At its Jan. 7 meeting the Franklin County Commission approved a petition to vacate a subdivision road, authorized a dispatching agreement with the city of New Haven, set the county per-diem rates and awarded $451,953.90 from special road-and-bridge funds to Pacific.
The Franklin County Commission on Tuesday approved a package of orders including vacating a subdivision road known as Stickney Street, authorizing a dispatching agreement with the city of New Haven, adopting the county's 2025 per-diem and travel reimbursement rates, and awarding $451,953.90 from special road-and-bridge funds to the city of Pacific.
The actions were taken by voice vote after motions and seconds were recorded for each item. The meeting record shows the commission accepted a petition from Charlene Cox to vacate a subdivision road listed in the petition as Stickney Street; the petition had been published as required before the hearing.
Jeff Titter, communications director, said the dispatch agreement is the county's standard contract for agencies it dispatches for and will help coordination as New Haven rebuilds its police services. Doug Trentman, collector of revenue, presented adjustments to personal property tax charges for 2024 and prior years; the commission approved those adjustments as presented.
