The Shawnee County Board of County Commissioners on Dec. 1 approved a slate of routine financial and procurement measures, including $2,285,733.27 in vouchers and multiple vendor contracts and vehicle purchases.

County Clerk Lisa Schmidt reported the voucher total and highlighted a $495,903.12 payment to XYBIX Systems Inc. for a 911 center console project paid from ARPA SLFRF interest funds. After a brief staff presentation the board voted to approve the vouchers. The motion was moved and seconded and passed 3 to 0.

The board also approved correction orders and a series of procurement awards for the county’s Solid Waste division: a half-ton pickup to Laird Noller Ford for $36,000 (including trade-in); a class-5 truck with mini OTR bed to Shawnee Mission Ford for $184,763 (including trade-in); three front-loader trash trucks to Truck Component Services for $572,937 (including trade-in); two rear-loader trash trucks to Truck Component Services for $422,196 (including trade-in); and two roll-off trucks to Elliot Equipment Company for $357,604 (including trade-in). Solid Waste Director Bill Sutton told commissioners the fleet purchases came in about $20,500 under the budgeted amount and that purchases are funded from the enterprise solid waste fund.
