The Morgan County Commission met April 14 in the Commission Conference Room at the Morgan County Courthouse in Decatur and, by unanimous votes, approved a series of resolutions and contracts including a $134,905 HVAC replacement at the County Archives and a three‑year tax administration contract.
The commission adopted Resolution 26‑211 to accept Pro Air Services, Inc. as the lowest responsive bidder for HVAC replacement at the Morgan County Archives building for $134,905 and amended the budget accordingly. The motion was offered by Commissioner Greg Abercrombie and seconded by Commissioner Matthew Frost.
In financial administration business, the commission authorized a three‑year contract with Neumo Group, LLC for sales, use and rental tax administration services, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2029. That motion was offered by Abercrombie and seconded by Commissioner Jeff Clark.
Public‑safety and facilities items approved included a LINEV Systems service contract for one body scanner and one baggage scanner at the Morgan County Jail and two baggage‑scanner units for the Morgan County Courthouse for a 12‑month period at a cost of $34,616.72; the commission amended the budget to cover the contract.
On behalf of Probate Judge Greg Cain, the commission authorized an agreement with Venza Care d/b/a The Sanctuary at the Woodlands accepting the current per‑diem rate of $1,031.45 per day for temporary inpatient behavioral health services for patients referred by the Probate Court or the community mental health officer.
The commission also approved an MOU with City of Decatur Youth Services to provide transportation to educational classes at the Morgan County Day program at a rate of $500 per month, and authorized District 3 Commissioner Matthew Frost to purchase one Landpride cutter (Model RC3712) from H&R Agri‑Power using Sourcewell contract #032525‑LPi for $20,748.75.
Sheriff Ron Puckett was authorized to apply online for the CSX "Pride in Service" grant to seek additional drone funding and, separately, to declare K‑9 Officer Luna retired from duty effective March 25, 2026 and remove the K‑9 from the county insurance listing.
The commission approved personnel actions including hiring two temporary employees through AtWork temporary agency for District I and approving Leave Without Pay for Michael Braxton for March 24–April 2, 2026, both actions recorded by unanimous vote.
A set of small contracts payable from Tourism, Recreation & Convention funds were approved to promote county programs and events: the Morgan County Career Tech Advisory Committee ($5,000); One Vision Foundation (Excellence in Leadership) ($500); Morgan County Sports Hall of Fame ($500); and a contract with the Boys & Girls Clubs for the Neon Night 5K Run (the minutes record the amount as "9500," which appears to be a typographical error in the meeting minutes and is not otherwise clarified in the record).
The commission also approved invoices presented for payment totaling $284,053.36 and then adjourned. All motions recorded in the minutes were adopted unanimously.
The commission did not take public testimony on these items during the meeting and no votes were recorded as split or abstentions. The next scheduled meeting date was not specified in the minutes included with these records.
