Chase County commissioners approve change orders, mapping contract and small personnel expenditures
Summary
At its Dec. 16 meeting the Chase County Commission approved several change orders, a Kimball Mapping contract for $3,900, payment for sheriff vehicle upfitting (fund 084), and a $1,050 crime‑prevention voucher allocation for sheriff staff; the board also held two brief executive sessions on personnel (no action taken).
Chase County commissioners approved a series of routine and operational items Dec. 16, including multiple change orders, a mapping contract and several modest personnel‑related expenditures.
Votes at a glance - Several change orders (02/2005, 2024‑6, 2024‑8, 2024‑10, 2024‑11) were moved and approved by voice vote; proceedings show unanimous ayes recorded each time. - The board approved paying for electronics and components to upfit a new sheriff patrol vehicle. The motion recorded a payment amount of $13,008.14 to be charged to Fund 084 (county equipment); earlier discussion referenced a similar invoice amount of $13,814.85. The motion to fund upfitting from Fund 084 passed after a second and an aye vote. - Commissioners approved a contract with Kimball Mapping for $3,900 for GSI ownership and mapping maintenance; Speaker 1 moved to sign the contract, the board seconded and the motion carried. - The board approved a request for $1,050 from the crime‑prevention fund to provide boot/shoe vouchers for sheriff's deputies and dispatch staff; Speaker 1 said vouchers would be about $100 for deputies and $75 for dispatchers.
Other proceedings - The board approved routine warrants and the Dec. 9, 2024 minutes. - The commission entered two short executive sessions during the meeting to discuss non‑elected personnel and wages and later to discuss personnel with named invitees; in both cases the public record states "no action taken." Speaker 1 indicated personnel items would be discussed further privately.
Why this matters: The approvals fund day‑to‑day county operations — vehicle readiness, mapping maintenance and staff support items — and reflect standard county governance and procurement decisions.
Next steps: Staff will place public notices and process payments/contract signatures as authorized by the motions; no major legislative or budgetary votes were taken beyond these operational approvals.
