Adams County approves $527,547 in bills, green-lights large sewer invoice and adds $130,000 to Children Services
Summary
The Adams County Board of Commissioners on Nov. 24 approved $527,547.43 in vendor payments — including a $490,761.49 Distel Construction invoice tied to the Cherry Fork sewer project — and approved supplemental transfers and appropriations that include $130,000 for Children Services contract services/board care.
The Adams County Board of Commissioners approved bills and several budget moves during its Nov. 24 regular session, voting unanimously to clear payments and add targeted appropriations.
Commissioners approved a grand total of $527,547.43 in vendor payments, which included a $490,761.49 invoice from Distel Construction for work on the Cherry Fork sewer project. The list of vouchers covered multiple departments, including the sheriffs office, job and family services, and engineer operations.
The board also approved supplemental transfers, an advance and additional appropriations under Resolution No. 2025-497. Among the changes approved were $130,000 added to 020-172-5420 (Contract Services/Board Care, Children Services) and $3,309.26 to a county grant account for a National Opioid Settlement distribution. The board approved an advance of $12,475 to cover grant-funded activity that the county said will be repaid when the grant arrives.
Commissioner Kelly Jones moved to approve the transfers and appropriations; Commissioner Barbara Moore Holt seconded. Clerk roll call minutes record all three commissioners voting "aye." The motions were recorded as routine fiscal housekeeping necessary for agency operations.
The meeting packet lists a department-level breakdown of vendor charges and smaller purchase orders across multiple offices. Notable line items reviewed included a variety of sheriffs office equipment and medical charges, engineer materials and a set of dog-kennel and shelter expenditures. The board approved these payments under Resolution No. 2025-496.
Next steps: The board incorporated the transfers and appropriations into the county ledger; the advance remains contingent on incoming grant funds, which county staff said will be repaid when the grant is received.
