Grundy County board approves routine claims and authorizes replacement of 9-1-1 center heat pump with $19,986 cap
Summary
The Grundy County board approved a series of routinely submitted departmental claims and authorized the purchase to replace a geothermal heat pump at the county 9-1-1 center at a not‑to‑exceed price of $19,986; the contractor estimated about $17,000 and prior repairs totaled about $9,400.
The Grundy County board voted to approve routine claims from multiple departments and authorized the County to replace a failing geothermal heat pump at the county 9‑1‑1 center, with a not‑to‑exceed price of $19,986.
The meeting recorded a sequence of claims approvals by voice vote. The board approved EMA claims after S2 (Joe, EMA official) confirmed they had been signed and a motion (mover: Doug; second: Josh) carried. Coroner’s claims, the circuit clerk’s claims, the state’s attorney’s claims (signed by James Riley, second by Nathaniel), public defender claims (signed by Doug, second by James), administrative maintenance claims (mover: Josh Harris; second: Eric Rasmussen), and sheriff’s claims were all presented as signed and approved by voice vote during the session.
On a separate item, S9 (Kevin) presented a proposal from the ETSB to replace the geothermal heat pump at the county 9‑1‑1 center. He said the county has spent roughly $9,400 in repairs over the last couple of years and the mechanical vendor recommended replacement rather than further repairs. The vendor provided a not‑to‑exceed price of $19,986 and indicated the work might be completed for about $17,000. Because the county has a $10,000 spending allowance before full‑board approval, Kevin asked permission to proceed; the chair asked for a motion, which was made by Doug and seconded by Nathaniel, and the motion carried.
The board recorded no roll‑call tallies in the transcript beyond voice votes of “Aye” and statements that motions carried. No further bidding, contracting details or vendor names were recorded on the transcript; the board did not provide additional specification of vendor selection during the public discussion.
The meeting moved on to housekeeping items and adjourned after a motion to adjourn (mover: James, second: Nathaniel) carried by voice vote.
