Delaware County unanimously approves claims and contracts, including $600,000 E‑911 dispatch payment

The Delaware County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved payment of vendor claims and several contracts during its March 31 regular meeting.

Commissioner Jake Callihan moved to approve the claims and Commissioner David Beck seconded; the roll call was unanimous. The approved claims list covered multiple county departments and vendors for fiscal year 2025–2026 and included a $600,000 payment listed for "Delaware County E‑911" dispatch service in the Use‑ST fund. The meeting record lists numerous additional payments to vendors and service providers across general, highway, health, rural fire, and other funds.

Also on the consent calendar the board approved contracts for the Delaware County Election Board for fiscal year 2026–2027 covering postage and printing; Election Board Secretary Crystal January had earlier said the contracts were for postage and printing. The board also approved a bid from Bear Lake Contracting LLC for Flint Ridge 1 Amended Lots 9 and 10 in Block 6 of the Highland Area in the amount of $40, on behalf of the county treasurer.

All listed motions were carried unanimously by roll call. The meeting record does not break out whether any payment requires a future appropriation or county match beyond the amounts shown in the claims list. The county clerk’s office maintains the full vendor list and claim documentation.
