The Marshall County Board of Commissioners took multiple procedural and contract actions during its April 6 meeting, including placing Community Crossing bids under advisement and approving several purchases and contract amendments.
Key actions (voice votes unless noted):
- Community Crossing bids: The board voted to take three bids under advisement and asked highway staff (Jason) to review and return a recommendation at a future meeting.
- Emulsion storage tank (Highway): The board authorized Jason to proceed with the process to purchase an emulsion storage tank for patchers (funding: a proposed $51,000 transfer from bituminous to highway equipment) after confirming the highway subcommittee’s recommendation.
- Public safety grants: The board approved reimbursement up to $50,000 each for two fire department projects to cover part of a cascade compressor and SCBA bottle packs. Chief Chad Stupp requested $50,000 and said the departments would cover the remainder.
- HR sick bank prepay: The board approved a 30‑day sick‑bank prepay beginning April 10.
- Courts software (CTI): The board approved an agreement with CTI covering multiple superior courts and amended the action to reflect the two‑year service agreement; judges were authorized to sign on behalf of the county.
- Baker Tilly engagement: The board approved a letter of engagement with Baker Tilly (Shannon McCloud to administer) to support an owner‑occupied housing grant; the board discussed fee treatment and confirmed the fees would serve as the county match.
- Surveyor vehicle: The board approved the purchase request for a 2026 F‑150 4x4 (surveyor office) not to exceed $49,000, pending funding arrangements.
- ViaPath amendment: The board approved a second amendment to the ViaPath Technologies master services agreement (adds a 2¢ per‑minute fee directed to the sheriff’s department) with the sheriff authorized to sign.
Each vote passed by voice vote after motions were made and seconded; where numerical tallies or named seconders were not recorded in the transcript, the minutes reflect unanimous or majority voice approval with the recurring phrasing “All in favor, say aye” followed by “Motion carries.”
