Warren County approves routine contracts, small appropriations and vehicle leases
Summary
At its meeting the Warren County Commissioners approved a package of routine items including a software agreement, a donated vehicle resolution, a $5,000 TIF legal appropriation, PHI Cares air‑medical membership, leases for three vehicles and a custodial rug rental contract; several items were approved by voice vote.
Warren County commissioners approved multiple routine procurement and budget items in a single meeting, taking action on software, grants, memberships and fleet management.
Software and website: The board approved a previously budgeted software agreement to be paid over three years. Staff said the first‑year cost and the planned subsequent years were included in the budget. Separately, staff and the county attorney briefed the board about an ongoing website conversion project to bring older ordinances and resolutions into an ADA‑accessible, non‑editable format; that conversion will be handled in stages and returned to the board for further action.
TIF professional services: Commissioners approved an additional $5,000 appropriation from TIF funds to cover legal/professional fees related to RDC matters.
PHI Cares membership: The board approved a PHI Cares air‑medical membership funded by the county; commissioners noted the service has been used by local residents and that coverage extends to contiguous counties.
Fleet decisions: The county approved leases for three new vehicles (monthly lease per vehicle estimated in the meeting at about $1,184.47) and authorized sale of three used sheriff Tahoes to help offset upfitting costs. Commissioners directed staff on titling and insurance logistics.
Custodial contract: Commissioners approved a three‑year custodial rug rental agreement for four rugs at $80.46 per month after discussion and a motion to accept the lower price.
Each of the above motions was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote during the meeting. Where staff raised follow‑ups — for example, confirming final contract language or the exact invoice address on a large joint project invoice — commissioners asked that corrected documents be provided before signature or disbursement of large funds.
