At its March 7 meeting the Osage County Commission approved payment of a retainage invoice for the jail project, authorized purchase of an emergency management pickup, accepted the county appraiser's resignation and approved routine payroll and bills.
Osage County commissioners on March 7 voted to approve several routine fiscal actions and construction-closeout items, including payment of a retainage invoice for the county jail project and a purchase order for an emergency management vehicle.
The board approved payment of invoice 25-0220 for $335,572.28, identified in meeting materials as the final retainage invoice for phase 1 of the county jail project, and signed a certificate of substantial completion for that work. Commissioners also approved a paid purchase order, number 4038, for $53,530.24 from the emergency management fund to purchase a 2024 Ram 1500 4-wheel drive pickup. The meeting record shows motions were made and seconded and each motion carried.
Other formal actions taken included acceptance of County Appraiser Matt’s resignation, approval of a CMB (consumption on premises) application for Lamont Hill Resort, and approval of bills and two payroll batches. The board approved paying county bills totaling $289,404 (as listed in the meeting packet) and approved two payroll motions: one for $424.25 and a second payroll for $71,945.05; the motions carried as recorded in the minutes.
The actions were routine motions made and seconded during the meeting; the record does not identify individual commissioners as movers or seconds in most cases. Commissioners directed staff to process payments and file the certificate of substantial completion with project records.
