Houston County Commission approves routine procurement, MOU for health‑department roof and equipment transfers
Summary
The Houston County Commission approved a joint ACCA bid for motor graders, a four‑year MOU committing $162,250 annually for a roof replacement at the Houston County Health Department, donated a Ford F‑350 to a Wicksburg fire department, and authorized sale of a Canon plotter; staff outlined upcoming road paving.
The Houston County Commission approved a series of routine measures at its meeting, including awarding a joint ACCA county bid for motor graders, approving a four‑year memorandum of understanding to fund a roof replacement at the Houston County Health Department, donating a Ford F‑350 to a local fire department and authorizing the sale of a Canon large‑format plotter.
The chair called the meeting to order and said, “We do have a quorum as all commissioners are present,” before the panel moved through consent and agenda items. A motion to approve the minutes of the previous meeting passed after Commissioner Harvey moved and Commissioner Ivy seconded.
On Item 1, the commission approved the ACCA joint county procurement for motor graders, a cooperative purchase covering all 67 counties. Commissioner Herring moved to approve and Commissioner Adams seconded; the motion passed on a voice vote.
On Item 2, the commission approved a memorandum of understanding with the Houston County Health Department to fund a roof replacement estimated at $162,250 per year for four years. The chair said the commission had discussed the request previously and that the health department “do[es] need a roof.” Commissioner Herring moved to approve the MOU and Commissioner Ivy seconded; the motion passed on a voice vote.
On Item 3, the commission approved donating a Ford F‑350 to the Wicksburg fire department. The transcript records a motion, a second by Commissioner Adams and the motion passing, but the mover’s name was not clearly stated in the record.
On Item 4, the commission authorized selling a Canon IPF825 large‑format plotter with scanner and 22‑inch touchscreen via GovDeals; the motion passed on a voice vote.
During staff reports the county engineer said the county will pave multiple roads over the next month, including At 1 Road, Hilltop Road, Walmack Road, Avon and Broadway, North Bridal Street and County Road 9. The chief administrative officer had no report, and the county attorney made brief remarks; commissioners had no further questions for staff.
The meeting included routine ceremonial items: an invocation led by Pastor Will Caesar of Bethan 1st and the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. There were no recorded dissenting votes on the actions taken.
