Brown County approves routine business: hospital board appointments, Red Cross MOU, architect contract, vehicle sale and bills
Summary
The court reappointed three members to the Brown County Hospital Authority Board, approved renewal of an MOU with the American Red Cross for disaster assistance, discussed and moved forward on a two‑phase contract with Southwest Architects (phase 1: $35,000), approved the sale of a county truck and paid county bills; the court set the next meeting for June 1.
Brown County court handled several routine items during its meeting, approving appointments, a disaster‑response MOU, a phased architectural contract and fiscal housekeeping.
Appointments: Chair (S4) introduced a motion to reappoint Keith Clark, Robert Porter and Paul Waller to the Brown County Hospital Authority Board. The motion received a second and the court proceeded with the appointments; members congratulated the appointees. (Motion and second recorded.)
American Red Cross MOU: County staff (S6) said the county’s current memorandum of understanding with the American Red Cross expires in June and presented a standard renewal MOU for disaster assistance and emergency response. "Our current MOU with Red Cross expires in June, this year," S6 said, and noted the MOU had been reviewed and approved by county reviewers. The court moved and seconded to approve the MOU.
Southwest Architects contract: The court considered a two‑part agreement with Southwest Architects for preliminary design and construction management services. A presenter from the architect team (S1) described phase 1 as a preliminary design and feasibility phase with a fee of $35,000; phase 2 — construction documents and engagement of a construction manager at risk — would require separate approval. "Phase 1 includes the preliminary designs... the construction documents is actually part of phase 2," S1 said. S1 said the county would own the preliminary documents and that the process would include department interviews and a construction manager at risk in later phases. The court indicated it would proceed with the agreement and administrative steps to sign documents.
Vehicle sale and bills: The court considered selling a county truck (bids discussed) and a motion to approve the sale was seconded. A subsequent motion to pay county bills was made, seconded and the chair stated "The bills are paid now." The court set its next meeting for June 1 and asked for early agenda submissions.
The meeting adjourned after routine scheduling items. Several motions were acted on by voice/hand and without a recorded roll‑call in the provided transcript.
