Morrow County approves EMS RFP and multiple appropriations and transfers

Morrow County’s board approved a request for proposals to operate countywide emergency medical services and a slate of appropriations and transfers during the regular session.

The clerk introduced an RFP to operate the county’s EMS system. Board members moved and seconded the item; the roll call yielded recorded affirmative votes and the RFP was advanced for implementation steps.

The board also approved multiple appropriations and transfers across county funds. Items moved included an appropriation of previously uncertified monies for MCAT funds; appropriations described as "second half" and mobile-homes related items; and a transfer for the Coomer Ditch Fund. The clerk read several motions, each of which was seconded and approved on roll call.

A transfer of $37,345.88 to the Family & Children First Council was read aloud by the clerk and approved. The clerk stated the amount on the record: "It’s $37,345.88." Other transfers approved included allocations to the general fund for law enforcement and transfers involving the sheriff’s fund (fund 2919).

All motions shown in the transcript were moved, seconded and recorded with affirmative roll-call responses by the members present. The approvals in this meeting were administrative and budgetary in nature; the transcript does not show additional programmatic detail for some line items (for those, the clerk read fund names but did not specify exact budget accounts in the meeting record).

The meeting also included routine operational updates—construction progress on the county engineering facility and other project statuses—but no additional formal actions beyond the RFP and the appropriations/transfers listed above.

The clerk recorded votes on each motion in roll call; motions passed with the members present voting yes.
