Delta County commissioners approve $579,816.80 in claims, several zoning requests and administrative updates
Summary
At its Dec. 17 meeting the Delta County Board of Commissioners approved payment of $579,816.80 in claims, adopted planning commission bylaw/ordinance corrections, approved three zoning actions, accepted personnel resignations and authorized an RFP for an airport manager search.
Delta County commissioners on Dec. 17 approved routine county business including payment of $579,816.80 in claims and a series of planning and personnel items.
The board approved the claims list presented by the clerk, which showed a grand total of $579,816.80 and commissioner expenses of $924.59. The motion to pay the bills passed on a roll call vote.
On land use matters, the board accepted Planning & Zoning recommendations on three zoning cases. Commissioners approved a request to split a 40‑acre tract into smaller rural residential parcels to allow family members to build homes; two additional requests were approved that will split properties along County Road 503 and rezone a north portion to C‑3 to allow an optional future parcel for storage units while leaving remaining acreage in resource production. Motions on those items carried by roll call.
The board also adopted updates to the Planning Commission bylaws and corrected language in planning commission ordinances to record a "recording secretary" role and related clarifications.
Personnel and contract actions included acceptance of a resignation with a lump‑sum payout for an employee identified in the record as R. Morrison and acceptance of the resignation of a temporary airport clerk (Mrs. Wei) with a directive to send a thank‑you letter. The board approved extending existing medical examiner investigator contracts for another year and approved a month‑to‑month medical examiner service contract with 30‑day termination notice language.
Commissioners approved updated central dispatch policies designed to comply with LEIN/CJIS requirements and approved the dispatch director’s request to sell 20 surplus radios to Dickinson County. The radios were described as including charger, antenna clip and lapel mic (batteries excluded); the board was told the radios’ depreciated value is estimated at $3,000 and that state law (recorded in the packet as Public Act 431 of 1984) and county policy provide routes for selling to other local governments. Supporters said selling directly to Dickinson County would aid interoperability.
The board directed staff to post an RFP seeking an executive search provider for an airport manager and to publish the solicitation on sam.gov and the county website. Commissioners discussed a firm submission deadline to ensure a fair process for bidders.
The meeting concluded after a closed session on collective bargaining; the board subsequently ratified a bargaining agreement with the district court.
The board set its reorganization meeting for Jan. 7 at 5:15 p.m. and adjourned.
