Grant County commissioners approve routine appropriations, tax allocations and surplus declarations

The Grant County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved a slate of routine financial and administrative items at its April 8 meeting in Medford. Commissioners Steve Stinson (chair), Keith McClure (vice-chair) and Craig Fredrick moved and carried motions to adopt monthly appropriations and to disburse regular payroll and statutory travel for March 2026.

The board accepted officers' monthly reports for March 2026 (County Clerk, District Attorney, Election Board, Court Clerk, County Treasurer, County Sheriff, County Assessor and Health Department) "all subject to audit." The Court Clerk's Records Management & Preservation report showed a reconciled balance of $15,224.44, which the board approved.

Commissioners also approved three tax distributions for March 2026: a mortgage tax and certification fee of $180.00, an alcoholic beverage tax allocation of $12,117.30, and a motor vehicle tax allocation of $1,634.44. Each motion was moved, seconded and carried by unanimous vote.

The board adopted Resolution 2026-37 declaring an Opal countertop ice maker (serial number ending 07034) surplus from the County Clerk's inventory and Resolution 2026-38 authorizing its disposal. Both resolutions were approved without opposition.

All recorded motions during the meeting were carried with Stinson, McClure and Fredrick voting in the affirmative. The meeting minutes state that actions are subject to audit and that approved items will be reflected in the county's disbursements in April 2026.

The board adjourned at 9:36 a.m.; the minutes were approved April 13, 2026 and attested by County Clerk Rachelle D. McCaleb.
