Commissioners approve routine contracts and equipment purchases, and extend on-call engineering lists
During general business the board approved several administrative and procurement items.

Finance director Mark Barnes presented an updated intergovernmental agreement among the county, the sheriff’s office and the school board for school‑resource‑officer services; the contract was revised to reflect state law changes related to recordkeeping and was approved by the county attorney.

Staff presented an RFP result and purchase order recommendation to buy a John Deere 410P backhoe loader and attachments from Dobbs Equipment to replace a 2004 unit at the wastewater treatment plant; the board approved the purchase. The county also approved amendment 1 to indefinite-delivery contracts for selected engineering and architectural firms, extending the contract term through June 30, 2026 and updating hourly rates for new projects. Finally, the board approved a contract amendment with Coleman Company for the Marlowe Water & Sewer project to add design and preconstruction services (including increased well‑capacity and lift‑station elements) and associated fees.
