Carroll County supervisors approve license, plats and vehicle outfitting; paramedics pay change recorded in agenda
Summary
At a regular meeting, the Carroll County Board of Supervisors approved a Class C retail alcohol license for Otter's Tavern, two plats, and a $232,746.60 purchase to outfit two snowplow trucks; the agenda included review of a paramedics union agreement with wage changes noted in the discussion.
The Carroll County Board of Supervisors approved routine agenda items and several votes during the meeting, including a retail alcohol license, recorded plats and a purchase to outfit two new snowplow trucks.
The board approved a Class C retail alcohol license for Otter’s Tavern, Inc. after a motion, a second and a voice vote. The board also approved two plats: one for property on Hawthorne requested by Joe Reesberg (owned by Joseph and Alyssa Reesberg) and a second requested by Ron Berdine (James and Rita Deltlinger Family Trust).
Item 3 on the agenda recorded a review and consideration of the fiscal year 2026 Carroll County Professional Paramedics Association union agreement. The presenter summarized the agreement as “the same thing we had last week” and said call pay "went from $8.5 to $10 an hour and a 50 per or a 50¢ per hour, to each tier on their pay." A motion to approve was made and seconded; the transcript does not record a clear final voice vote or a formal "motion carries" statement for that item and includes the line "All abstain" immediately after the call for the vote. Because the transcript does not provide an explicit recorded outcome, the final vote outcome for that agreement is not specified in the record.
Secondary Roads sought and received approval to spend $232,746.60 to outfit two new trucks with plow boxes, hydraulics, sanders and related parts. Zach, speaking for Secondary Roads, described that the quoted amount covered parts only and that county staff would perform installation and hydraulic/electrical assembly; lead times for parts ranged from approximately two to six months and the chassis were expected in the July timeframe. A motion to approve the $232,746.60 expenditure was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the clerk recorded "Motion carried." The purchase falls within the fiscal year 2026 budget the department presented.
Other routine actions included approval of the agenda and approval of minutes for previous meetings (motions and voice votes). Several items that generated discussion but no formal vote during the meeting included the Snyder & Associates/Highway 30 Coalition presentation and departmental updates from Secondary Roads.
