Carter County commission approves multiple storm‑repair payments and purchase orders
Summary
The commission approved a set of vendor payments and purchase orders tied to storm repairs and routine county work, including Landworks ($5,600), Shells by Bank Services ($60,905.58), Beam Construction ($341,760.60) and several NRCS/USDA‑funded repairs.
During the business portion of the meeting the commission moved through multiple line-item motions and votes to approve contractor payments and purchase orders related to storm recovery and routine services.
Speaker 3 moved to approve payment to Landworks Construction Contractors (invoice 20250442) for $5,600 for a temporary bridge at Fowey; the motion was seconded and the commission recorded affirmative votes and passed the motion. The commission then approved multiple FEMA/USDA‑funded repair payments, including:
- First Construction, application 1: $104,174.22 for Heat Branch repairs (NRCS/USDA project). - Baker's Construction, application 2: $296,271.98 for Eaton Branch repairs (USDA-funded project). - Baker's Construction, application 3: $292,296.75 for Eaton Branch repairs (to be reimbursed via FEMA). - Beam Construction, invoice 1815: $341,760.60 for an identified project. - Shells by Bank Services, invoice 91225: $60,905.58 (check request/payment approved). - Summers Taylors, invoice for Shell Creek Road repairs: $189,484.43 (NRCS project) and a separate Summers Taylors invoice of $14,871.24 split between flood-related PO and highway budget.
Each listed motion was made on the record, seconded, and approved by voice or roll-call as reflected in the meeting transcript. Several approvals were explicitly labeled NRCS/USDA projects or FEMA‑related reimbursements; the commission discussed timelines for bid returns and a possible special-called meeting to finalize remaining contract awards.
The meeting record shows the commission continuing to process dozens of administrative line items after the disaster update, approving vendor payments to support immediate repairs and contractor work.
