Morrow County commissioners approve agenda correction, construction payment, appointment change and two hires
Summary
The board pulled item 6(d) from the agenda, approved the consent agenda and a $1,272,647.24 construction payment to Fountain Construction, approved a NEACT appointment change, and authorized two personnel offers after executive session.
At its regular meeting, the Morrow County Board of Commissioners handled a set of routine and formal actions, including an agenda correction, a construction payment, an appointment change and two personnel hires.
Agenda and consent: The board removed item 6(d) (a grant application) from the agenda at a commissioner’s request and adopted the corrected agenda by motion. The board then approved the consent agenda with selected minutes and a payment authorization pulled for later consideration.
Construction payment: The board approved payment application L‑145‑8 to Fountain Construction in the amount of $1,272,647.24 after staff clarified that retainage for the CMGC contract is secured by the contractor’s bond rather than showing as an invoice withholding; the board voted aye to carry the motion.
Appointment to Northeast Area Commission on Transportation: The board released Mark Patton from the at‑large NEACT assignment with appreciation and appointed Jacob Kane as the county’s at‑large voting member and Tim Helbig as the alternate; the change will be forwarded to NEACT for acknowledgement.
Personnel actions after executive session: The board entered executive session under Oregon statutes for personnel matters and returned to open session to authorize the district attorney to offer a deputy district attorney position at grade 30, step 12, and to hire a deputy sheriff at grade 22, step 11. Both motions carried by voice vote.
