Commission reviews bills, tower RFP issues and ongoing invoice items
Summary
The board reviewed multiple department Visa charges and utility bills, discussed a $484 jail gas charge that raised totals, and heard an update on tower RFP items and warranties with possible follow-up invoices for racks and FCC licensing.
At the Nov. 10 meeting, Lamar County officials reviewed line-item bills and multiple Visa charges across departments and agreed to approve them while staff reconciles certain entries.
Unidentified Speaker 1 called attention to a Visa payment grouping that included a $3,873.33 total and several department charges; speakers identified specific invoices related to Duncan and Son contractor work on tower projects and a higher-than-expected gas charge at the county jail. Participants said some items had already been paid (green-sheeted) while others required reconciliation. A motion to approve the bills was made and carried by voice vote.
Separately, Unidentified Speaker 4 reported that tower repeaters have a three-year warranty and antennas a one-year warranty; an RFP did not initially include racks and FCC licensing control-point fees but may be modified and could generate a follow-up invoice. The vendor expected to complete tower work by January, the speaker said.
The board also heard operational updates about a 9-1-1 truck needing repair at West Alabama Ford and a reminder that active alert invoices remain outstanding in some cases. Staff were asked to itemize department charges for the minutes and follow up on any additional vendor invoices related to tower modifications.
