Garfield County commissioners approve routine resolutions, contracts and purchases
Summary
At their Feb. 3, 2025 meeting, Garfield County commissioners unanimously approved a package of routine financial and procurement items, including three resolutions setting highway expenditure limits, a contract change order for the district attorney’s office, two cash fund appropriations for Drug Court and multiple purchase orders and warrants.
The Garfield County Board of County Commissioners on Feb. 3, 2025 approved a series of routine resolutions, procurement actions and financial items, voting unanimously to set spending limits and authorize bids, contracts and purchase orders.
Chairman Clarence Maly, Vice-Chairman Reese Wedel and Commissioner Joe Kegin Jr. voted in favor of each measured action recorded in the minutes. County Clerk Lorraine Legere is listed as secretary to the board in the meeting record.
The board adopted Resolution #25-11, which sets maximum monthly highway expenditures at $4,051,560.36; approved Resolution #25-12 (CBRI) at $2,506,338.93; and approved Resolution #25-13 (CIRB) at $333,132.47. Each motion was moved and seconded by the commissioners and recorded as passing with affirmative votes.
The commissioners also approved Resolution #25-14 authorizing the sale of a Gruman-Spartan pumper truck from the Garber Fire Department to the NE Lincoln County Fire Department for $7,000 and approved PCO #3 and RFP #3 for renovations to the Garfield County District Attorney’s Office from Henson Construction totaling $9,027.22. The board approved a further contingency change for the District Attorney’s Office; the meeting record lists the aye votes but contains a duplicated name on that particular vote line (see audit note).
The board approved personnel actions appointing Tammie Nelson as a receiving officer for Maintenance and removing Jerry Egelston from that role. It also approved two Cash Fund Estimates of Needs and Requests for Appropriation for Drug Court, one for $5,000 and another for $11,875.
On procurement, the board authorized the County Purchasing Agent to advertise for sealed bids (Bid #25-12) for a Global Positioning System Survey for Safety Highway and provided a vendor mailing list that includes Topcon Solutions, Ozark Laser & Shoring, GeoShack, Laser Liquidators and ALLTerra Central, Inc.
The minutes record approval of a lengthy set of prior-year and current-year warrants, purchase orders and claims across multiple county funds (including General, Highway Unrestricted, Health Department, Sheriff Service Fee, Rural Fire Departments and ARPA funds). The board also approved blanket purchase orders as filed in the County Clerk’s Office.
The meeting record shows a brief administrative note that agenda items not acted upon were carried over to a later date. With no further business, the board adjourned and scheduled its next regular meeting for Feb. 10, 2025.
Notes on record accuracy: the meeting minutes list attendees as Maly, Wedel and Kegin; several vote lines also record a participant named Loesch voting aye though Loesch is not listed in the meeting attendance block. One vote-line includes a duplicated name in the transcript (SEG 021 lists “Wedel” twice). These irregularities are reported in the audit and reflected in the provenance and actions sections rather than being used to alter the factual account that the motions passed as recorded in the minutes.
