Morrow County commissioners approve airport and facility contracts; CARES grant paperwork due next month
Summary
At its April 21 meeting the Morrow County Board of Commissioners approved a runway lighting services agreement, a payment to VCU Electric for a generator project, and an amendment to an energy-services master agreement; staff said a CARES grant reimbursement expires next month.
Morrow County commissioners approved several routine contracts and payments and received a staff update on a CARES grant during a Monday meeting.
The board approved a professional services agreement related to a runway lighting project at "Tomorrow County Airport," and authorized payment application number 10 from VCU Electric for a generator project at the Fort Mill. Commissioners also moved to resend and consider an amendment to a master agreement with Daigy Energy Services, with a final agreement expected Wednesday, according to the record. Each motion was seconded and carried by roll call.
The meeting included a staff update on a CARES grant. Speaker 3 said staff would meet with the bank clerk and complete the grant paperwork by Friday, noting the grant “reimburses operational expenses on the airport during the COVID period” and that it is “expiring at the end of next month.” Speaker 3 added that ongoing projects were progressing "slowly and surely." These statements were provided as departmental updates rather than final board directions.
Votes at a glance: - Approval of bills (recorded in the minutes as "number 8 1 through a 133"): motion carried by roll call (affirmative responses recorded in the transcript). - Runway lighting professional services agreement (Tomorrow County Airport): approved by roll call. - Payment application No. 10 to VCU Electric (generator project at the Fort Mill): approved by roll call. - Amendment and resending of resolution noted as 25 r 2 86 (Daigy Energy Services master agreement amendment): motion to proceed approved; final agreement to be addressed Wednesday. - Motion to return to regular session and final adjournment: carried.
The transcript records the motions and affirmative roll-call responses but does not consistently identify which named commissioner provided each vocal affirmation during roll call. The record shows calls of "Mister Mason," "Mister Abraham," and variants of other member names with affirmative responses; the meeting concluded after the adjournment vote. Next procedural steps noted in the record include finalizing the Daigy Energy Services agreement on Wednesday and filing CARES grant paperwork before the end of next month.
