Summary
At a regular meeting, the Adams County Board of Commissioners approved routine vendor contracts and claims, accepted highway reimbursement reports, approved a two‑lot subdivision, adopted an ordinance increasing recorder copy fees, and approved a full‑time RN job description and funding for the health clinic.
Adams County commissioners approved a series of routine financial and administrative items during a meeting at the Adams County Courthouse.
The board unanimously approved an annual service agreement with Maximus for $23,760.60 to calculate indirect and overhead costs for the county child support program and support state reimbursement, according to the meeting discussion. Commissioners also signed Allied weekly health insurance claims totaling $19,686.63 and Eastern Alliance workers' compensation claims totaling $5,023.63. The board approved accounts payable claims listed at $276,006.26.
The county highway report for September was accepted; Motor Vehicle Highway (MVH) reimbursements for the month were listed at $313,803.63, and local road and street reimbursements were $53,133.13. The board moved to accept those reports and reimbursements.
The board approved a two‑lot subdivision (referred to in the meeting as the Sword Subdivisions) splitting an existing single lot into two lots with access on 100 East. Commissioners noted the plat allows potentially further splits subject to access requirements.
The board adopted an ordinance, listed in the meeting as Ordinance 2025‑14, to amend Ordinance 2022‑3 and increase the recorder's per‑page copy fee from $0.15 to $0.20. The ordinance, as described in the meeting, will take effect Jan. 1, 2026. Meeting discussion stated that state law allows a $0.20 rate and the county had remained at $0.15.
Health department staffing: the board approved a revised job description and funding plan for a full‑time registered nurse position in the county health clinic. County staff said the position results from combining part‑time roles; recruitment had not started and the expected start date was estimated at four to six weeks if recruitment proceeds.
Votes were taken by motion and voice; the meeting record reports "motion carries" for each listed action. Detailed roll‑call tallies were not read into the record.
Ending: Commissioners indicated the items were routine and moved on to other agenda matters after completing the listed approvals.
