Grant County commissioners approve minutes, claims and several small payments

Grant County commissioners opened the meeting by approving the minutes, then moved through a set of claims and small payments that the board authorized by voice votes.

Speaker 2 presented a list of claims, including a $90,582.29 repair charge tied to 4000 Monroe (Bluebird/Bluebird Creek), an advertising charge of $55.65, and legal fees of $4,964.68 to Spitzer Herriman. Speaker 3 moved to present the five claims as submitted and Speaker 2 called for the voice vote. The board approved the claims; at one point Speaker 2 recorded an abstention on a separate line-item during discussion of a small reimbursement.

Why it matters: These routine approvals authorize county payments from maintenance and other funds and record the legal-fee and repair expenses overseen by county officials.

What happened next: The board continued to other procurement items after completing the claims and minutes approvals. The transcript does not include roll-call vote tallies tied to individual commissioners; actions were recorded as voice votes with the motion 'carried.'

Details: The transcript lists the $90,582.29 repair, a $55.65 advertising charge, a $60.81 county-treasury line item described as a loan from the general Grama Improvement Fund maintenance, and legal fees assigned at about $4,964.68. A Cook Check Committee payment of $3,735 and fund balance references were also noted during the claims sequence.

What’s next: No further action was taken on these claims during the meeting beyond authorization for payment.
