York County commissioners approve routine claims, appointment and emergency-authority measures
Summary
The board approved payroll and vendor claims including a $25.47 sales tax claim, appointed Craig Schmidt to the Visitors Bureau, and authorized the chair to sign emergency declarations and close the courthouse when necessary.
At its first January meeting the York County Board of Commissioners approved routine administrative items and acted on several short-form agenda items.
The board approved payroll and vendor claims and added a $25.47 claim to the Department of Revenue for sales tax on plat books sold from the clerk’s office; the board confirmed the collected tax had been deposited and approved including the payment. The board also voted to appoint Craig Schmidt (Holiday Inn / IGH Resorts) as a lodging representative to the York County Visitors Bureau after the bureau recommended him unanimously to replace Doreen Litchte.
Commissioners voted to authorize the chair for 2026 to close the courthouse and sign emergency declarations throughout the year if needed, a practice the board said has been used in prior years for severe weather and other emergencies. The board also approved a tax roll correction for personal property totaling $43,007.94 tied to a parcel number issue that staff said had been resolved.
Roads staff provided an operational update earlier in the meeting: auction posting imminent, motor graders redeploying gravel and cleanup work in the West Blue area. Public comment included a resident who urged boards to avoid reorganizing without full membership and criticized perceived delays on zoning matters.
