Commission report: county staff seek ratification for building repairs, IT membership, printing and fairgrounds invoices
Summary
At its Sept. 3 commission report session, Crawford County staff requested commissioner ratification or approval for a series of departmental payments and permits including jail door repairs, routine garage-door maintenance, an IT information-sharing membership, printing of per-capita tax bills and fairgrounds invoices.
Crawford County staff asked the county commissioners Sept. 3 to ratify multiple departmental payments and approve routine purchases and a permit application, county presenters said.
Corrections staff requested ratification of a $5,647.32 payment to an overhead-door vendor to repair a sally-port door at the correctional facility; staff said panels on a second door also need replacement but did not give an estimated cost. Public safety staff requested approval of a $525 routine inspection and maintenance service from MC Overhead Door Company for garage doors and openings at public safety facilities; staff said those doors had not been serviced in several years.
Information-technology staff presented a request to ratify an 18‑month membership in a multistate information-sharing center for $1,995. Planning staff requested approval of a payment described in the record as a $1,600 reimbursement related to heating and cooling; the transcript was unclear on the vendor and specific purpose, and staff said the cost would be paid from an unspecified fund.
Treasury staff asked the commissioners to approve publication and billing costs tied to the 2025 tax cycle: a $5,836 payment to Crawford County Legal Journal to advertise the 2025 tax upset sale (charged back to delinquent taxpayers) and multiple printing and postage charges for 2025 per-capita tax bills. County staff said some per-capita printing costs are reimbursable by municipalities and that one district uses a different printer; the transcript lists amounts of $1,007.20, $1,726.46 and $14,314.54 but does not clarify which line item corresponds to which vendor in every case.
Fairgrounds and facilities items presented for ratification included a $221 invoice for corporate remodel work, an $11,900 electrical upgrade invoice for the livestock complex from Amp Electric, and $7,940.30 in invoices to bond vendors that staff said the fair board will reimburse. County roads or facilities staff also asked to submit a GP-11 permit application for Dodieville Road Bridge No. 21.
County presenters asked commissioners for approval or ratification of the listed items; the meeting transcript records the requests but does not show any recorded votes.
