Morrow County commissioners approve appropriations, transfers and contractor change order
Summary
The Morrow County Board of Commissioners approved a series of routine budget moves — including appropriations to a transit reserve and the MCAP fund — and accepted a contractor change order for a 2025 county paving package; votes recorded in the transcript were affirmative on roll call.
The Morrow County Board of Commissioners approved several routine financial actions and a contractor change order during a regular session, with motions moved, seconded and carried on roll call.
Commissioners approved appropriations and transfers to cover utility payments and to move funds from incidental use into a transit reserve to meet a local match for construction of a new facility. One speaker described an annual invoice of $187,540, reporting a current balance of $84,450.43, prior deposits of $124,320 and a $24,000 true-up; an administrative-fee item of about $3,000 was also mentioned. The board approved paying that invoice after discussion of the rate change noted in the record.
The board also approved appropriation of unappropriated certified monies for the MCAP fund and routine transfers within the Board of Elections budget from equipment to professional services. A separate motion to transfer funds to child and family services was moved and approved.
On public-works business, commissioners approved a change order with Cushing Construction Company for a county paving package planned for 2025. The transcript records discussion that the change order reduced some work and adjusted the contract price "to reflect actual work completed." The board also approved payment request number 2 (final) for a project referenced in the record.
A small administrative item — paying a $22.02 late fee on a bridal records invoice that was not received by email — was approved as well.
Roll calls recorded affirmative responses when called: the record contains 'Yes' responses for the named roll-call prompts in the transcript. The amendment to a pending resolution to include the primary election date was moved, seconded and approved and will be reflected in the resolution as amended.
The measures in this session were described in staff reports as routine budget and contract items; the board recessed and later returned to complete business before adjourning.
