Pratt County Commission approves personnel raises, records destruction, grants and equipment spending
Summary
During routine business the commission approved six‑month raises for two staffers, authorized destruction of old ballots per retention rules, approved community corrections plans and outcomes, and approved purchases and ARPA funding for emergency equipment repairs.
The Pratt County Commission handled several routine actions during the meeting, approving personnel and administrative items and authorizing equipment repairs.
Personnel and records: Commissioners approved 50¢ six‑month raises for two employees (raising Heather to $15.50 and Tammy to $16.10). The board approved a motion to destroy county clerk ballots and associated records from the 2022 primary and the 2023 city/school election in line with the state retention schedule.
Community corrections and grants: The board approved the FY25 adult comprehensive plan for community corrections and carried the FY24 year‑end outcome report after staff presented program statistics and budget details. County community corrections staff reported an additional roughly $75,000 for adult services (noted as available to spend), and summarized supervision outcomes, juvenile and adult caseloads, and training/transportation expenses.
Public safety equipment and maintenance: The commission approved replacement tires for the ladder truck and tanker (transcript listing: $5,115.76) after Craig County Fire & Rescue reported age‑expired tires and a hydraulic leak on a ladder truck cylinder. The board also approved installing a new engine in a 2003 vehicle and using ARPA funds to pay for that work; the transcript recorded the engine cost as $22,004.18 and the motion carried.
Procedure and next steps: Several motions were passed by voice vote. Where dollar amounts or counts were presented by speakers, the commission acknowledged the numbers as presented; staff follow‑up is needed to finalize procurement and contracting steps on the vehicle engine replacement and tire purchases.
Ending: The meeting concluded after a final motion to adjourn.
