The Buffalo County Board of Commissioners handled a slate of routine but substantive administrative items at its March 24 meeting.
The board approved the March 20, 2026 payroll claims and a long list of March vendor claims across multiple funds. As part of budgeted transfers, the board moved $125,000 from the General Fund (0100) to the Weed District Fund (5400); that motion passed with the commissioners present voting Aye (Commissioner Timothy Higgins was recorded absent).
After personnel recognitions for county employees with 5- and 10-year anniversaries, the board approved a Request for Proposals for pickleball courts at the Buffalo County Recreation Area and set the bid date for Tuesday, April 14, 2026. The board also approved purchase of a pickup from the State Purchasing Contract.
