Summary
Neosho County commissioners voted Feb. 4 to approve payroll clearing of $302,447.16, issue a clerk credit card with a $1,500 limit, authorize the purchase of up to 10,000 tons of ABC rock and hire a vendor for designated computer recovery operations.
Neosho County commissioners voted on a set of administrative and procurement items at their Feb. 4 meeting. Key approved actions included payroll, a clerk credit card, a rock purchase for roads and authorization to engage computer recovery operations for designated county machines.
Payroll and minutes: The board approved a motion to clear payroll in the amount of $302,447.16 and to approve meeting minutes for Jan. 28, 2025. The motion passed 3‑0.
Clerk credit card: Commissioners approved issuing a county credit card to the clerk’s department (under the clerk Chastity) with a credit limit of $1,500; the motion carried 3‑0.
Vacation request: A motion to approve a vacation request for an employee (recorded in the minutes as Melba Kentcliff — details as noted in the minutes) was made and approved 3‑0. The transcript records the motion and unanimous approval; the meeting minutes should be consulted for any payroll accounting tied to the request.
Purchase of ABC rock: The board approved a motion to authorize purchase of up to 10,000 tons of ABC rock from Whitaker Quarries at $9.70 per ton delivered. The motion passed 3‑0. County staff noted the quarry company is hauling by belly dumps and that Whitaker was offering the rock at a quantity and rate commissioners described as a favorable deal.
Computer recovery operations: Following an executive-session discussion on security matters, commissioners returned to open session and approved hiring a vendor to engage in recovery operations on designated computers in the clerk’s and treasurer’s offices. The motion passed 3‑0. The vendor referenced was listed in meeting materials as Advantage Computers; the purchase covers data recovery operations on specified machines and does not appear to include broader forensic services discussed separately.
Executive session: The board recessed into an executive session to discuss matters relating to security measures; the motion to recess was approved and the board returned to open session and then approved the computer recovery authorization.
Other procurement and administrative notes recorded in the meeting: commissioners reviewed several items for future follow-up, including a proposal for elevator fire/smoke work (not acted on at this meeting) and discussion of software/antivirus pricing and laptop inventory with Advantage Computers.
