Summary

At its May 1 meeting the Franklin County Board of Commissioners approved a 114-acre agricultural easement, authorized an Allcom contract to replace cameras and access control at the Human Services building, and directed staff to rebid the Veil HVAC project after receiving a single bid.

The Franklin County Board of Commissioners approved three substantive items during its May 1 meeting: purchase of a 114-acre preservation easement on the Hershberger property, a contract with Allcom to replace cameras and access control at the Human Services building, and a directive that staff rebid the Veil HVAC project after only one bid was received.

The board voted to approve the Hershberger agricultural easement after a presentation by Planning Director Quintin Clapper. Commissioners then approved an Allcom agreement to replace outdated cameras and access control at the Human Services (Human) building; Risk Management Director Alexis Penings told the board the new cameras can be relocated to a future facility if needed. When the controller’s office reported that only one bid had been submitted for the Veil HVAC project, commissioners voted to table consideration of that single bid and directed staff to put the project back out for bid.

Routine procedural motions also passed by voice vote, including approval of the agenda, approval of minutes from April 23 and approval of the consent agenda. The meeting adjourned following the regular agenda.
