At its Sept. 16 meeting the Perry County commissioners approved payroll and claims, authorized a $5,500 transfer from a ceded account to cover courthouse chiller maintenance overage, and appointed John Schutzeis to the hospital board.
The Perry County Commissioners approved routine agenda items, payroll and multiple claims, authorized a small transfer to cover a courthouse chiller maintenance overage and filled one hospital board vacancy at the Sept. 16, 2025 meeting.
Among the approvals the board voted to accept the agenda as presented, approve minutes from Sept. 2, 2025, and approve payroll and withholding for the payroll period cited on the agenda. The board approved payroll in the amount of $186,001.81 and payroll withholding of $39,549.60. The board also approved health claims totaling $69,257.75, solid waste claims of $7,080.77 and accounts payable claims totaling $889,918.45.
During discussion of courthouse maintenance claims, commissioners were told that work on the courthouse chillers by a vendor identified as Alpha totaled $10,204.14 for the year and that a single line item was short by $4,952.17. To cover the shortfall the board moved $5,500 from a ceded fund account (referenced in the meeting as account 73.12) to the building-maintenance line to pay the existing invoice and leave an estimated $548 in the ceded account. The motion to appropriate approximately $5,500 passed on a unanimous voice vote.
