Board approves 2026 schedule, discusses surplus vehicles and routine business
Summary
Washington County members approved the meeting schedule for 2026 and conducted routine business including minutes approval; members discussed advertising for bids on aging county vehicles and a possible restoration of hospital transfer arrangements.
The Washington County meeting advanced routine administrative business and discussed several operational housekeeping items.
At the start of the session board members approved the minutes of the previous meeting following a motion credited to Bubba and a second by Gerald. Later in the agenda, Jill presented the proposed 2026 meeting schedule — first Thursday of each month at 9:00 a.m. — which the board approved after a motion and second; members voted by voice vote.
Members discussed several aging county vehicles, including an older Expedition and a Durango that have been sitting on county property. Board members and staff agreed to advertise for bids to remove or sell surplus units and to revisit a decision on disposition at the January meeting. The coroner’s vehicle and a bar light on one unit were raised for clarification; members asked staff to coordinate with the coroner and to ensure batteries are maintained so vehicles do not further deteriorate.
Other routine items included reports that previously outstanding invoices from a Speedway under former ownership were paid (the amount noted as $1,937.50 included in this month’s deposits) and a brief discussion about trash pickup and collection duties with city representatives.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn from Gerald, a second by Tony, and a voice vote in favor.
