Monroe County commissioners approved a series of contracts and grant amendments: Integra appraisal ($17,700) for reassessment, HFI controller replacement ($23,845), Toshiba copier fleet lease ($208,547), Green Business Network recycling renewal ($5,450), Koenig Equipment service agreement (not to exceed $3,000), a reduced STD grant (-$58,835), and a Moores Creek stormwater contract closeout showing a $67,689.18 underrun returned to the fund.
Monroe County’s Dec. 18 meeting included approval of multiple routine contracts, a grant amendment, and a project closeout that returned funds to the stormwater program.
Reassessment appraisals: Assessor Judy Sharp requested and received approval to contract with Integra Realty Resources for appraisal work related to two assessment appeals; staff said Phase 1 fees total about $17,700 to produce valuation and written reports necessary for state hearings.
Facilities and equipment contracts: The board approved a Harold Fish (HFI) proposal to replace HVAC controllers in the Clerk’s office and integrate them into supervisor software for $23,845. Technical services presented a five-year Toshiba copier fleet agreement covering replacement of remaining aging machines for $208,547, with staff noting the new arrangement saves money compared with the previous vendor. The county also renewed a Green Business Network recycling service at multiple county buildings for $5,450 and approved a not-to-exceed $3,000 service agreement with Koenig Equipment for tractor repairs in the parks department.
Grant amendment: Health Department staff said the STD Strengthening Prevention grant was reduced after the county could not proceed with hiring an additional grant-funded disease intervention specialist, and the board approved an amendment reducing grant funding by $58,835; the current grant ends Feb. 28, 2026.
Stormwater closeout: Staff reported the Moores Creek Road stormwater project underran the contract. After a subgrade treatment change adding $6,939.40, the total underrun was $67,689.18 below contract; commissioners approved change order number 1 to close out the contract and return funds to stormwater.
