Boone County commissioners approve routine contracts, equipment repairs and grant support
Summary
The board approved a series of routine purchases and contracts: Baker Tilly agreement for auditor services, HVAC replacement at the jail ($12,820), BFNS task order for right-of-way inspection (not to exceed $35,000), a radio tower repair estimate, and a supportive letter of grant application for the Boone County Historical Society.
Boone County commissioners approved multiple routine business items on June 1, including professional-services agreements, equipment repairs and a letter supporting a historical-society grant application.
Key approvals included:
- An annual agreement with Baker Tilly to provide budgetary/financial services to the auditor’s office.
- A Dilling Group quote of $12,820 to replace a locked-up mini-split HVAC motor serving the jail phone room; Max Hall, director of capital investments, presented the request.
- Execution of BFNS task order 80 (tied to permit 20260040) for a Perry Township waterline installation; staff said the work is not to exceed $35,000 and will be reimbursable by the permittee.
- JDH’s Justice Center radio-tower inspection identified lighting, safety-climbing system and pad repairs; the transcript records a repair estimate (transcript shows $22,9611) and the board approved the work. Staff emphasized the need to update tower lighting given proximity to the county airport.
- A letter of support for a Boone County Historical Society grant to repair the Ken House exterior; Peggy Daggy said a feasibility study showed more than $100,000 in needed exterior repairs and that the grant requires a 50% local match.
The board also approved routine claims and moved to adjourn at the meeting’s close.
Why it matters: These approvals maintain county facilities and operations, and letters of support enable non-profit grant applications for historic preservation. Repair work on the Justice Center tower includes safety and FAA-proximity considerations.
What’s next: Staff will execute contracts and schedule repairs; the historical society will proceed with the grant application process with the county’s letter of support.
