County approves multiple contracts and purchases including highway cleaning, pest control, GIS renewal and a new large‑format scanner
Summary
Commissioners approved a set of county contracts and purchases—cleaning contract for highway and clerk offices, a countywide pest control award, a Crossroads GIS renewal for dispatch, a recorder scanner purchase for $18,349, a $5,000 matron bond, and a short‑term lease with Frankfort Youth Baseball—largely by unanimous votes.
At its June 16 meeting the Clinton County Board of Commissioners approved several contracts and routine purchases affecting county operations.
Highlights approved by unanimous vote included: • A cleaning contract for the clerk’s office and county highway office; work is to be performed outside county time. (Motion approved 3‑0.) • A countywide pest control contract awarded to Reliable covering probation, EMA, EMS, the courthouse and annex. (Motion approved 3‑0.) • A Crossroads GIS three‑year renewal for Central Dispatch to maintain mapping for CAD and Spillman; budgeted amounts cited were $12,500 due Sept. 1, $13,125 in year two and $14,000 in 2028. The contract was amended to set Indiana as the jurisdiction for dispute resolution. (Motion approved 3‑0.) • A large‑format scanner for the recorder’s office from Eastern Engineering for $18,349, which includes installation and training; the unit carries a 90‑day warranty and staff will pursue an extended service agreement. (Motion approved 3‑0.) • A $5,000 bond for the jail matron, Britt Osler, through RLI Insurance Company. (Motion approved 3‑0.) • A short‑term (remainder of 2026) real‑estate lease/contract with Frankfort Youth Baseball for a county‑owned diamond at TPA Park; the nonprofit provided proof of a $1 million liability policy. (Motion approved 3‑0.)
County staff said the INDOT unofficial detour around Rossville (using county roads 600 West and 800 North) was approved by the board while noting the county has not historically received compensation from the state for damages caused by detours. Board members also discussed ongoing storm cleanup and the status of Bridge 60 funds.
Quotes and context: Rick Campbell, who presented the highway items, noted the cleaning contract is to be done outside county hours and that the county would clarify timekeeping rules: “Make sure it’s clear that this is outside of county time.” Kylie Mitchell, recorder, said the existing large‑format scanner had reached end of life and parts were difficult to source; she said the chosen replacement includes installation and training.
The purchases and contract renewals were recorded as approved by a 3‑0 vote and will be implemented by relevant departments.
