Osage County commissioners authorize truck lease solicitations and approve hires, payroll adjustments
Summary
The Board authorized staff to solicit one-week lease proposals from county banks for a 2025 Kenworth dump truck, approved several personnel actions (including a new appraiser clerk and a jail hire), and approved county payroll totaling $647,856.61.
The Osage County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 2 authorized county staff to solicit lease-proposal responses from banks for a new 2025 Kenworth dump truck and handled multiple personnel and payroll items.
Commissioners voted to allow county administrator/staff (Michelle) to send the truck quote to local banks with a one-week response window for lease-payment proposals. Commissioners discussed capital equipment funding and said the county may pursue a three-year lease purchase or bank financing once responses are received.
The board also approved personnel actions brought by department heads: a new real-estate sales clerk in the appraiser's office and a status payroll change to hire a new jail employee, Cadence Easton, per the sheriff's submission. Commissioners reviewed multiple payroll change reports, backpay items and effective dates during the session.
After tallying departmental labor distributions and corrections, the commissioners approved county payroll with a grand total of $647,856.61. County staff were directed to process the payroll and to provide detailed pay-stub breakdowns when commissioners requested them.
Next steps: staff will solicit bank proposals for the truck, return lease options to the board for final approval, and finalize payroll disbursements and any corrective checks.
