Adams County officials approve routine payroll, claims and reports; May meeting moved to May 6
Summary
Adams County officials approved routine payroll and vendor claims, accepted monthly reports including the animal shelter and weights-and-measures updates, and rescheduled the May meeting from May 5 to May 6 because of an election. Motions were approved by voice vote.
Adams County officials approved routine payroll and vendor claims totaling $402,198.45, accepted monthly reports on the animal shelter and weights-and-measures program, and rescheduled the county's May meeting to Wednesday, May 6, an aide said during the session.
The action came during a largely procedural meeting in which staff presented reports and commissioners moved to enter them into the record or to pay verified claims. Tony (staff member) asked that the change of date be published because of an election on May 5.
Tony (staff member) presented the animal shelter report and said the facility was operating with low intake: "They still... have three cats and five dogs currently at the shelter," he said. Committee member Doug moved to accept the March animal shelter report; Committee member Stan seconded and the motion passed.
Inspector Dan Hackman submitted the monthly weights-and-measures report. According to the report, 52 devices were checked, 51 were corrected and one was rejected because of issues with portable or dormant scales. Committee member Stan moved to enter the report into the record; Committee member Doug seconded and the motion passed.
On finance items, the board approved payroll claims for the referenced pay period totaling $402,198.45. Staff also presented utilities paid in lieu, noting a new vendor, Intermedia, reflecting recent county phone changes; the total utilities paid in lieu were $43,674.78 and were approved by the panel.
Several verified insurance and benefit claims were paid: Allied weekly health insurance claims of $10,906.22 and Northwind prescription claims of $16,831.91 were both approved. The board also approved a $190 charge from Case On Group for an employee navigator service that allows employees to make benefit changes directly instead of going through HR.
Paperwork related to payroll time-card approvals for appointed department heads had been distributed by email, and the meeting record ends after that administrative note.
All motions reported in the transcript were approved by voice vote with the mover and seconder recorded on the minutes. No contested or substantive policy debates were recorded in the provided transcript.
