Fallon County approves routine contracts and personnel moves, extends emergency leave policy
Summary
The commission approved multiple routine items by voice vote: electric work and HVAC purchases, a first amendment to a mental‑health services agreement, hiring a new EMT (Bridget Schwartz), and renewed Policy 3.09 (paid emergency/disaster leave) for another year.
At the meeting’s consent/approval segment, commissioners voted to approve several routine but operationally relevant items.
Contract and procurement approvals included an electrical quote for museum fair exhibit lighting (about $22,128 noted in discussion) and a HVAC purchase agreement (Straub's Heating and Cooling selected by motion). Commissioners also approved a first amendment to a joint mental‑health services agreement extending the contract term through May 31, 2027; the county will forward the final copy for signatures once the school board signs its portion.
Personnel actions: commissioners moved, seconded and approved hiring Bridget Schwartz as an emergency medical technician.
Policy: staff reviewed Policy 3.09 (paid emergency and disaster leave), which authorizes the commission to close county offices and provide paid leave in declared emergencies and to pay time‑and‑a‑half to required staff who must work. Commissioners voted to extend the policy for one year.
Grants: the commission authorized moving forward on a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) program grant agreement for planned airport work; staff will sign the agreement and proceed with grant administration.
All motions recorded in the transcript were carried by voice vote; individual roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the minutes that were read aloud.
Next steps: staff will finalize contract paperwork, execute agreements as appropriate and place final signed documents in county records.
