Summary
The board approved the appointment of Adam Hartley to the WEED board, authorized $6,728.22 to purchase two EZ File plat cabinets from the M & P fund, declared four sheriff’s office computers surplus for destruction, approved claims including a $131,009.00 insurance payment, and authorized submission of a HMEP hazardous-materials training grant requiring a 20% local match.
The Codington County Board of Commissioners approved a series of routine administrative actions and expenditures at its March 17 meeting.
The board appointed Adam Hartley to the county WEED board to represent the southwest portion of the county, replacing Mike Paulson. The appointment was made by motion and approved by voice vote.
The board approved the purchase of two smaller EZ File plat cabinets to supplement an existing larger unit that holds more than 1,000 plats. Anne explained that the vendor no longer makes the large-style cabinet and proposed two smaller units to fit behind the existing cabinet; the cost approved was $6,728.22 to come from the county’s M & P fund. “So getting two of them looking forward would be a better option, I believe,” Anne said.
The board declared four county computers surplus to be destroyed by the sheriff’s office; the motion carried by voice vote.
County staff presented the annual application for the Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) grant to fund hazardous-materials familiarization training at LATC and for local partners such as the county highway shop and city street departments. The grant requires a 20% local match, typically covered by regular wages and volunteer rate; the board approved submitting the application.
The board also approved claims submitted for payment, including the annual South Dakota Public Assurance Alliance insurance payment totaling $131,009.00. Finance staff said the total will be allocated across department budgets and provided a departmental breakout later.
Other routine items approved included automatic budget supplements, personnel changes and a budgeted travel request for the director of equalization to attend a conference.
