The Osage County Commission on Wednesday approved a series of procurement items and a large interfund transfer as part of year-end business.

Commissioners voted to approve Purchase Order No. 4148 to Motorola Solutions for the maintenance contract tied to the county's updated 800-series radio system in the amount of $146,963.73, to be paid from the county's capital improvement fund. "I would move to approve purchase order number 4148, paid to Motorola Solutions ... in the amount of $146,963.73," a commissioner said during the motion, which carried.

The board also approved the PBC's request to send Purchase Order No. 4057 to the Board of County Commissioners and later approved the PO to Command Sourcing for a whole-body security scanner priced at $149,900 to be paid from the LEC Building Fund. The PO record shown at the meeting states the order was approved Dec. 23, 2025. "It's in the amount of a $149,900," the clerk read when presenting the scanner PO.

Separately, the commission approved a 2025 transfer of $650,000 from the Road and Bridge Fund 101 to the Special Equipment Fund 185. Commissioners said the transfer was needed to fund equipment purchases and approved it by voice vote.

Other smaller purchase orders and encumbrances were approved in the same session, including PO 4150 to Western Consultants for $4,518 tied to a CDBG sewer improvement project and several departmental encumbrances for office upgrades and equipment. Commissioners discussed including PO numbers in motions so the new purchasing system can track encumbrances and invoices.

The decisions came with routine roll calls or unanimous "aye" votes; no formal dissent was recorded on the items reported at the meeting. The board concluded the session by approving payroll and the county's bills for the period before adjourning.

Next steps: Implementation will proceed through the county's purchasing and accounts-payable processes and the items will be assigned PO numbers and entered into the county's CIC purchasing module for tracking.
