Morrow County commissioners approve routine bills, hold construction bids for engineer review
Summary
The board approved routine bills and appropriations, including funds for the general fund and a levy fund, and voted to hold two construction bids (one for $627,000, one for $481,930.80) for review by the county engineer; the session recessed twice and adjourned afterward.
The Morrow County Board of Commissioners on an otherwise routine agenda approved multiple bills and appropriations, moved to hold two construction bids for further review by the county engineer, and then adjourned.
The board voted to approve bills numbered 1032 after a motion and second; roll-call confirmations were recorded. Commissioners also approved appropriations of unappropriated certified moneys for the general fund to cover property-tax receipts and for a shares levy fund. Speaker 3 announced payables from Chesterville, Jonesville, Katterman and other local customers and noted second-quarter water and sewer administration items were included in the packet.
Bids for a ‘‘virtual placement’’ project were presented in open session. Speaker 3 said, “A total bid proposal of 627,000 even,” describing a bid from R and R Construction; the transcript records a second bid from La Crawford Construction Company for $481,930.80. After the amounts were presented, Speaker 1 moved “to hold the bids for review by the county engineer.” The motion was seconded and approved by roll call; the board did not award the contract at the meeting.
The board recessed twice during the session and later returned to regular session. With no further business, Speaker 1 moved to adjourn; the motion was seconded and the board recorded affirmative votes and adjourned.
Votes at a glance: approval of bills number 1032 — motion moved and seconded, approved by roll call; appropriation of certified moneys for the general fund and for the shares levy fund — motions moved and seconded, approved by roll call; hold bids for county engineer review — motion moved by Speaker 1, seconded, approved by roll call; motion to adjourn — approved by roll call.
The board did not take a formal vote to award any bid or authorize a contract during this session; staff were directed to have the county engineer review the submitted proposals before any award decision.
