Board OKs $20,517 access-control payment and approves two GIS abatements
Summary
The Effingham County Board approved a $20,517.81 capital payment to SECO for government-center access controls and granted two GIS abatements: $25,000 for the City of Effingham (one abstention) and $5,000 for the City of Altamont (unanimous).
The Effingham County Board approved several financial items on the consent and regular agenda, including a capital payment of $20,517.81 to SECO Incorporated for access-control upgrades at the government center and two annual GIS-service abatements for neighboring cities.
Jeremy Ders moved and Doug McCain seconded approval of payment to SECO Incorporated for $20,517.81 from capital improvement funds; the clerk recorded a roll-call vote with all voting members present recorded in favor.
On intergovernmental and abatement matters, the board approved a $25,000 abatement for the City of Effingham. The clerk recorded an abstention by Sandy Rich; other board members voted yes. The board also approved a $5,000 abatement for the City of Altamont (Altamont spelled in packet), with a unanimous vote.
Board members noted the SECO final invoice was $158 higher than the original quote but still below the next bid and within procurement rules. For the GIS abatements the GIS office will continue providing services; staff said they will confirm the specific scope of work and any updates before future abatements are finalized.
Next steps: Finance staff will issue the SECO payment, and the clerk will finalize abatement paperwork for the two cities.
