Commissioners approve grants, service‑center pay application and right‑of‑entry for sewer easement
Summary
The board approved an ACGP appropriation, signed a right‑of‑entry to begin work on a property tied to a sewer project and approved the first pay application for service‑center construction; payments and details were read into the record and carried by voice votes.
During the Feb. 2 meeting commissioners approved several routine financial and contract actions.
The board approved an Appalachian Community Grant Program (ACGP) appropriation of $276,562.62 after a motion and voice vote (Speaker 1 moved; voice vote recorded as 'Aye').
Staff presented a right‑of‑entry contract for work related to a sewer project on private property; the board moved and approved the authorization that permits construction activities to begin before a formal easement is recorded. Commissioners also approved the first pay application for the county service‑center construction work in the amount of $44,065.44; motions to approve the right‑of‑entry and the pay application were moved, seconded and carried by voice vote.
Other finance items noted in the meeting included discussion of a Bainbridge water‑line replacement payment ($711,080.97 referenced during the meeting) and an appropriation for county EMA salaries ($4,286) mentioned in the accounts discussion.
Next steps: County staff will continue contracting steps and process pay applications through the auditor’s office and provide construction updates at subsequent meetings.
