At its Oct. 7 meeting the Saline County Board of County Commissioners approved the consent agenda, proclaimed October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, accepted a low bid for a 2025 reinforced concrete box (RCB) construction project and approved a Microsoft Office 365 subscription renewal and updated planning commission bylaws.
The consent agenda — which the board said included approval of tax roll adjustments, accounts payable, payroll, a health/dental plan amendment and grant-related items — was approved by motion and voice vote. The board then approved a proclamation declaring October Domestic Violence Awareness Month after Mary Cookson, identified in the meeting as a victim advocate with DVAC, read the proclamation and described local events including a candlelight vigil and community outreach activities.
The board accepted a low bid from RMA Engineering for the 2025 RCB construction project in the amount stated by staff and approved taking funds from the county’s special bridge construction (125) account. The board also approved an amendment to the planning commission bylaws to align voting procedures with state statute and to set the commission’s hearing date to the fourth Tuesday of each month. The board approved a Microsoft Office 365 license renewal for county named users; IT staff reported the renewal covers 445 named licenses and that the renewal cost is lower than the amount budgeted for the year.
Other procedural business included the board’s vote to recess to executive session under the land-acquisition exception to the Kansas Open Meetings Act for 20 minutes; the board returned to open session later and announced no action taken.
