Fallon County work session: minutes, contracts and travel approvals; several motions carried
Summary
At the work session commissioners approved minutes, accepted a change order and a Morrison‑Morley task order, and authorized two travel registrations for a state weed conference; the board also moved twice to enter closed session for litigation and a personnel matter.
The Fallon County commission handled multiple routine governance items and approved several motions during the work session.
Minutes: The commission moved to approve the January 5 regular minutes and the January 5 closed session minutes; both motions were seconded and approved by voice vote.
Change order: Commissioners voted to accept change order number 007 for $1,376.26 for the Fallon Medical Complex platform kit (bond order supporting a platform lift). The motion was moved, seconded and carried.
Task order: The commission approved a Morrison‑Morley master agreement/task order to provide services (including work related to upcoming DNRC regulatory changes). The motion carried by voice vote; commissioners clarified that the task order funds cover regulatory compliance work as needed.
Conference travel: The commission approved county payment for two attendees to the state weed conference (Billings) — motion moved, seconded and carried. Travel will be reimbursed per mileage policy and registration/rooming was authorized as discussed; staff will process travel paperwork and mileage claims.
Closed sessions: The commission moved and voted to go into closed session at least twice during the meeting — once for litigation discussion and later for a requested personal matter — with motions seconded and approved on the record.
Next procedural steps: Items that require public comment (for example, amending the budget to accept a $7,000 Mid Rivers grant to the library) will be scheduled after the required public notice and two‑week comment period; staff will bring corrected documents and public notice language when the items are agendized.
