Mills County approves accounts payable, declares 1966 trailer surplus and hears road updates
Summary
The commissioners approved the presented accounts payable (including initial payments for equipment assembly), declared a 1966 Hosper trailer surplus for auction, and received road, FEMA and budget updates from commissioners and staff.
Mills County commissioners on April 27 approved the accounts payable as presented, declared a 1966 Hosper trailer (VIN 12327) surplus and heard routine reports on road maintenance, FEMA work and procurement timelines.
Commissioner Richard Williams moved to approve the accounts payable; the court seconded and approved the motion by voice vote. The accounts payable discussion included a repair to a hydraulic cylinder, fuel purchases (with some higher pump prices noted), and a first payment and equipment-assembly timeline for CML Securities. A staff presenter said the vendor will assemble and test equipment before on-site installation and that part of the first payment is due when components are assembled.
Commissioner Head presented a request to declare a 1966 Hosper trailer surplus because it lacks a usable winch to move it; the motion to declare the trailer surplus passed by voice vote.
Commissioners gave routine reports: Commissioner Sullivan described road progress and equipment status, one commissioner noted hiring additional road crew members, and Commissioner Richard Williams summarized FEMA-related work, right-of-way discussions and a radio test of an emergency communications app.
Votes at a glance: approved accounts payable (voice vote), approved $7,000 VFD payment (see separate item), declared 1966 Hosper trailer (VIN 12327) surplus (voice vote).
What’s next: Staff will continue procurement coordination with CML Securities on assembly and will present a drafted interlocal agreement regarding volunteer fire department support at a future meeting.
Quote: "I make a motion. We approve the accounts fables as presented," Commissioner Richard Williams said.
