Cheyenne County Commission approves website contract pursuit, names official paper and signs off on repairs, HVAC deposit and a personnel promotion
Summary
At a regular meeting, Cheyenne County commissioners voted to pursue a contract to bring the county website into statutory compliance, designated High Plains News as the official county publication, approved vehicle and HVAC expenses and promoted an employee to classification 2.
The Cheyenne County Commission voted on a series of procurement, publication and personnel items at its meeting, including moving forward with a vendor contract to bring the county website into compliance and formalizing the county’s official publication for legal notices.
Commissioners discussed online posting requirements for election and statutory notices and the costs of building and maintaining a government website. After staff outlined start-up and annual fees and recommended using a government-focused vendor, the board moved and seconded a motion to pursue a contract with the vendor discussed on the floor (referred to in the discussion as Civics Plus). The board approved the motion by voice; final contract amounts and the signed agreement remain to be finalized.
In a separate motion, the commission designated High Plains News as the county’s official publication for legal notices. The motion carried on a voice vote; members in the room referenced nine people when the chair asked for those in favor.
The board also approved payment for repair work on a Saint Francis tender truck. The expense discussed on the floor was $2,604.30; a motion to pay that invoice was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Commissioners approved a purchase and deposit for an HVAC replacement for an apartment unit after staff presented a Comfort Source bid. The company requested a deposit (discussed on the floor as 60%/$2,037 and a total between $3,003.95 and $3,395 was referenced); the board approved the purchase and deposit by voice vote. The exact contract language and final invoice amount will be recorded when the contract is executed.
On personnel, the commission moved and seconded a promotion for Grant Schrader to classification 2 at $17.03 per hour following his successful 90-day period and completion of CDL requirements; that motion passed by voice vote.
