Saline County commissioners approve consent agenda including KDHE contract amendment, cybersecurity MOU and cooperative purchasing authorization

The Saline County Board of Commissioners approved a grouped consent agenda at its Sept. 2 meeting that included routine financial and administrative items and several staff-requested actions.

Items included approval of tax roll adjustments, accounts payable, payroll, commission meeting minutes from Aug. 19, and a KDHE contract amendment adding $40,000 for maternal and child health (MCH). The board also approved an addendum to the state and local cybersecurity grant program memorandum of understanding, authorized the county administrator to execute cooperative purchasing agreements with TXShare and the federal AFI (American Federal... [agency name not specified in packet]), and approved a budget transfer to move unused appropriations to general courthouse accounts.

The chair called for other comments, received none, and a motion and second were recorded. The chair announced a voice vote and said the motion carried.

The KDHE contract amendment will increase MCH funding in the county’s public health grant portfolio; details of how the additional $40,000 will be allocated were presented in the packet and are reflected in Health Department budgeting materials. The cybersecurity MOU addendum and cooperative purchasing authorizations are administrative steps to allow the county to participate in state-level cyber grant coordination and to use cooperative purchasing contracts, respectively.

No separate roll-call vote or amendments to the items were recorded on the public record; all consent items were approved together by voice vote.
