Summary
The Greene County Commission approved a string of routine items including maintenance and service contracts, courthouse IT upgrades and board reappointments at a short session that also authorized a jail plumbing fix and routine payroll and claims approvals.
Greene County commissioners on Thursday approved a bundle of routine contracts and appointments, including a four‑year maintenance contract, courthouse IT upgrades and reappointments to a local board.
The meeting, opened with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, moved quickly through consent items. Commissioners voted to approve minutes, the claims docket and the payroll record after motions to approve were made and seconded.
County staff presented a standard annual maintenance agreement with Microboat Corporation, which Speaker 1 described as “$15,000 per year. This is up from 13,000, and this price is set for 4 years.” The chair confirmed the cost is included in the budget and Commissioners voted to approve the agreement.
Michael, a county IT presenter, outlined upgrades to the courthouse’s Barracuda backup system and an email protection package. He said the Barracuda upgrade would cost $9,004.00 and the set of options he cited totaled $26,001.32. Commissioners approved the Barracuda backup upgrade after a motion and second.
Michael also recommended replacing courthouse servers that are past warranty under a five‑year support plan. The transcript records the staff quote as "$76,004.00 $8.53"; commissioners moved to approve the purchase and support agreement. (The transcript contains a garbled additional figure; the exact single one‑time amount should be verified with county finance staff.)
Other approved items included a Flooring America agreement to remove carpet in the health department and replace hallway flooring so surfaces match; the health department will fund its portion and the hallway payment was allocated from CCD funds. Commissioners also authorized emergency work for a domestic water backflow valve at the county jail, based on a price from BTEC tied to the jail alarm system.
The commission reappointed two members to the Peterborough Board; the presiding official named AutoPro and Bill Bedwell as reappointments and the body approved them by motion and second.
Zach Crosson, a sales representative for McAllister Machinery, used the public comment slot to introduce himself and to thank Greene County for past business.
The board scheduled its next regular public meeting for Feb. 3 at 9:30 a.m. and adjourned.
Votes at a glance: motions were made and seconded on the consent items, the Microboat maintenance contract, the Barracuda backup upgrade, the server replacement purchase, the Flooring America agreement, BTEC jail backflow work, and the Peterborough Board reappointments; in each case the chair called for those in favor and proceeded with approval with no roll‑call tallies provided in the transcript.
