Commissioners approve routine contracts, subdivision and claims totaling $59,910.73
Summary
At the May 20 meeting the board approved a backflow preventer replacement for the Law Enforcement Center, a Canon map printer purchase, a subdivision approval and payment of claims: General Fund $27,528.93 and Road & Bridge $32,381.80 (total $59,910.73).
The Richardson County Board of Commissioners approved a series of routine contracts, equipment purchases and claims at its May 20 meeting, including work to repair courthouse facilities and procurement of county equipment.
The board accepted a quote from Airstream Heating & Cooling to replace a backflow preventer in the Law Enforcement Center kitchen for $1,343.66 (motion by Commissioner Campbell). Commissioners then approved a purchase order for a Canon imagePROGRAF TX-4200 MFP Z36 w/stacker map printer for $14,645.00 to replace the county's map printer; county staff said the printer is used across departments and is available to local political subdivisions for large-format copies.
The board approved a subdivision for Michael D. and Cherie L. Frederick and adopted Resolution 2025-2026-40. Commissioners also heard a report that ServPro of St. Joseph completed mold remediation in courthouse areas; a Techtron Environmental Solutions follow-up report concluded that airborne mold levels were not elevated and no visible mold growth was observed in remediated areas.
On claims, the board withdrew one previously approved claim for further review with the County Attorney and then approved payment of all claims submitted at the meeting. The minutes list General Fund claims totaling $27,528.93 and Road & Bridge Fund claims totaling $32,381.80, for a combined total of $59,910.73; notable line items included a Martin Marietta Materials rock purchase for $23,307.24 and election worker expenses totaling $11,615.34.
Why it matters: These actions allocate county funds for infrastructure, equipment and vendor payments; the board recorded vendor and claim totals and approved routine maintenance and procurement that affect county operations.
Next steps: Procurement and vendor payments will proceed per approved purchase orders and claims; a withheld claim will be reviewed with the County Attorney before payment.
