County commissioners approve agenda, routine bills and three-year generator service contract
Summary
At their Feb. 2, 2026, meeting the County Commission approved the meeting agenda, payment of bills and a three-year generator service contract with Buckeye Power Sales for up to $5,250; commissioners also reviewed inventory and raised concerns about technology costs.
The County Commission convened on Feb. 2, 2026, approved the meeting agenda and several routine resolutions, including a three-year service contract with Buckeye Power Sales for generator maintenance not to exceed $5,250.
Commissioners voted to approve the agenda (Resolution 88) after roll call. Resolution 89, to approve payment of bills, was moved and seconded and carried on a roll call that recorded Commissioner Westfall and the person identified in the transcript as 'Mister Laura' voting yes. Resolution 90, described as a transfer resolution for the commissioner's hillside recorder and treasurer, passed after a roll call in which Commissioners Westfall and Brown were recorded as voting yes. Resolution 91, to enter a three-year generator service contract with Buckeye Power Sales at a cost not to exceed $5,250, was introduced and approved following a roll call in which Commissioners Westfall and Leroux were recorded as voting yes.
The contract term was read aloud in the meeting transcript as '03/01/2026 through 02/28/1929.' The date string in the transcript appears to be a transcription error; the commission described the contract as a three-year term during discussion and the article treats the end date as Feb. 28, 2029 to reflect a three-year span beginning March 1, 2026, consistent with the spoken description in the meeting. The transcript excerpted the contractor name as Buckeye Power Sales and the contract cap as $5,250.
Beyond votes, a speaker identified only as Speaker 2 questioned recent technology spending tied to a tape-recording system, noting large figures and saying, 'Technology is expensive.' Speaker 2 also raised concerns about how physical tapes are stored, noting the need for specialized safes and protections for records.
The commission received the monthly inventory report dated Jan. 31, 2026, submitted by Kelly, and noted monthly credit-card expenditures for the prosecutor IT and the auditor for February. No additional business was presented before the meeting closed.
