Ray County approves 2026 budget, accepts several bids and tables others pending review
Summary
Commissioners approved the 2026 budget, accepted plumbing and auto-repair bids, tabled courthouse door and jail HVAC bids for further research, and signed various payables and invoices including a progress invoice for Myers Bridge.
Ray County commissioners approved the county’s 2026 budget and acted on several procurement items across March meetings.
On March 5 commissioners approved changes to the Prosecuting Attorney’s budget and then approved the county’s 2026 budget by motion (carried 3-0). The meeting record shows Jeff Chronister of Ollis/Akers/Arney presented materials on the county property-and-liability renewal; commissioners asked for additional review and tabled the insurance renewal in one session before later approving it.
Commissioners opened bids for two courthouse entry doors and two HVAC bids for the county jail but tabled both pending further review. They accepted a plumbing bid from Stockton Builders & Remodeling LLC for work at the jail and accepted auto motor bids with Richmond Muffler & Auto Repair ranked first; Commissioner Davis recused from the auto-bid decision. The Commission also approved county payables presented by Payables Clerk Trina Hudson and Treasurer Melissa Holloway and signed a Diesel Fuel Usage Form for December and January.
The meeting record includes acceptance of several capital-related payables and a progress invoice for Myers Bridge No. 0170012. The transcript does not provide contract dollar amounts for most accepted bids in the record and does not show an implementation schedule for the accepted plumbing or auto repairs.
