Carroll County Commission approves mattress purchase, accepts minutes and clears two payroll/manifests warrants
Summary
At its May 5 meeting the Carroll County Commission voted to accept the April 28 minutes, award a mattress purchase order to Geriatric Medical for $15,219.10 and approved two warrants—a $187,434.40 accounts payable manifest and a $330,930.44 payroll warrant.
The Carroll County Commission on May 5 approved several routine procurement and finance items, including accepting minutes from its April 28 meeting, awarding a mattress purchase, and approving two warrants for accounts payable and payroll.
The commission voted to accept the April 28 meeting minutes after a brief exchange during the meeting. The motion to approve carried on a voice vote: “All in favor? Aye.”
On procurement, the commission awarded a reduced mattress purchase to Geriatric Medical after staff inventory showed the county needed 100 standard-size mattresses rather than the larger amount specified in the original solicitation. Staff reported that the reduced quantity lowers the purchase price to $15,219.10, a savings of $467.97 compared with the original total. A commissioner moved to approve the $15,219.10 award and to authorize the administrator to sign; the motion passed on a voice vote.
The commission also approved two warrants. The accounts payable manifest for the May 2 period totaled $187,434.40. Commissioners then approved a payroll warrant for $330,930.44. Both items were moved, seconded and approved on voice votes.
