Franklin County supervisors approve proclamations, set public hearing date and adopt subdivision waiver in routine business
Summary
At their regular meeting, supervisors approved a Healthiest State walk proclamation, set an Oct. 6 public hearing, authorized an RFP for audit services for 2026–28, approved a temporary Nettle Avenue road closure and adopted Resolution 25‑56 (subdivision waiver) by roll call; the board also approved a modest FY26 budget amendment covering HVAC, donated K‑9 funds and special-election costs.
Franklin County supervisors handled a series of routine agenda items during a meeting that lasted a little over an hour, approving a proclamation, setting a public hearing date, authorizing an audit services RFP, approving a brief road closure for grading work and adopting a subdivision waiver by roll call.
The board voted to approve a proclamation recognizing Oct. 1 as the Healthiest State annual walk day; partners listed in the proclamation include local schools, the extension office and the hospital, and the county plans to light the clock tower green for 10 days in recognition. The board set a public hearing for Oct. 6 at 10 a.m. to consider a subsequent agenda item.
On procurement and administration, the board approved issuing a request for proposals for county audit services for 2026'028, with proposals due Oct. 24 and selection planned for Oct. 27. The board agreed to a temporary closure of Nettle Avenue between 125th and 135th Streets for grading work starting at 08:45. Department reports covered grading and tile installation work and drainage issues caused by a suspected beaver dam.
The board adopted Resolution 25‑56, a subdivision waiver presented by Jamie Carroll, on a roll-call vote with Lukensmeyer, Nick Bicker and Van Ness recorded as "Aye." In other business, the board approved a small fiscal‑year‑2026 budget amendment that includes $10,950 in donated funds for the sheriff's K‑9 program, HVAC replacement at the CRC and expense adjustments for an upcoming special election that the county expects to be reimbursed by the school.
The meeting concluded with staff directions to follow up on drainage and contract deadlines; the board adjourned at 9:33 a.m.
