Rush County commissioners approve payroll and $1.36 million in claims, authorize generator sale process
Summary
The Rush County Board of Commissioners approved meeting minutes, payroll of $274,393.58 and $1,359,976.89 in accounts payable — including contractor and paving payments — and authorized steps to advertise and solicit bids to sell the old courthouse generator.
The Rush County Board of Commissioners approved a package of routine items during its session, including meeting minutes, a payroll run and accounts payable claims that totaled $1,359,976.89.
Speaker 3 moved to approve the accounts payable claims and identified two large items in the package: a $192,306.98 payment to contractor Dave O'Mara for summer construction and $576,920.93 for paving. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the board also approved payroll for 08/29/2025 in the amount of $274,393.58.
The board addressed disposal of an old courthouse generator, discussing advertising the unit for sale and setting a bid date. Speakers estimated the generator’s value "anywhere from 5 to 10,000," and Speaker 3 moved to have the auditor begin the process to advertise and solicit bids; the motion was seconded and approved.
Speaker 1 presented the treasurer’s report and noted it had been filed with the state; the report will be entered in the meeting minutes as presented.
The board also reaffirmed an earlier item from the 08/11/2025 meeting concerning Ron Jarman's signature for an appointment in a service seat; the prior action was resent and affirmed.
The meeting concluded the routine financial actions and moved on to separate agenda items, including grant applications and public hearings discussed later in the session.
