Ringgold County supervisors approve mowing and fuel contracts, set FY27 budget hearing and reappoint civil service commissioner
Summary
At their March 30 meeting the Ringgold County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a two‑year mowing contract with Josh Armstrong, awarded a combined gas-and-diesel contract to RK Fuets for $178,221, rescinded a previously published FY27 budget hearing and set a new hearing for April 13, and approved the reappointment of John Newton to the Civil Service Commission.
The Ringgold County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a package of routine business on March 30, awarding contracts and setting a new public hearing date for the FY27 proposed budget.
The board approved Resolution RC26-50 to award mowing of secondary-roads out‑barns to Josh Armstrong at $400 per time for all locations; the motion to approve was made by Steve Knapp and seconded by Randy Taylor and passed unanimously. The board also approved Resolution RC26-51 to accept the low combined gas-and-diesel bid from RK Fuets for $178,221; that motion was made by Randy Taylor, seconded by Steve Knapp and passed unanimously.
The board rescinded Resolution RC26-48 (recorded in the minutes as RC26-52) after adjusting an internal transfer from rural basic to secondary roads and set a new hearing on the FY27 proposed budget for Monday, April 13 at 10:00 a.m. in the courthouse Assembly Room (Resolution RC26-53). That motion passed unanimously.
County Attorney Michael Wetts' letter recommending the reappointment of John Newton to the Civil Service Commission was accepted by the board; Resolution RC26-54 records the reappointment, effective upon expiration of Newton's current term. The board also reviewed and approved claims to be paid on April 1, 2026; Resolution RC26-55 formally records that approval. All recorded resolutions were attested by Auditor Amanda Waske and carried by unanimous vote.
The actions taken are procedural and routine for county operations: contract awards for routine services, an appointment to a statutorily constituted commission, and scheduling a legally required public hearing on the budget. The board indicated no further debate on these items during the meeting; the next procedural step of note is the public hearing on April 13 for the FY27 proposed budget.
Details from the minutes: -- Mowing contract: Josh Armstrong awarded at $400 per time (two‑year commitment). -- Fuel contract: RK Fuets accepted for a combined gas & diesel bid totaling $178,221 as recorded in Resolution RC26-51. -- Budget hearing: new hearing set for April 13, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. -- Reappointment: John Newton to the Civil Service Commission per the county attorney's recommendation. -- Claims: approved for payment on April 1, 2026.
The board adjourned at 12:19 p.m.
