Woodson County commissioners appoint health board rep, approve vehicle trade and tourism funding
Summary
At its June 23 meeting, the Woodson County Board of Commissioners appointed Solid Waste Supervisor David Waddell to the SEK Multi-County Health Department Board, approved a vehicle trade between EMS and the sheriff's office, accepted a lawn mower bid, and authorized $500 in tourism funding for the county fair concert.
The Woodson County Board of Commissioners met June 23 and approved a set of routine and operational items, including an appointment to the regional health board and the transfer of county equipment.
Chairman Justin Clark moved and Commissioner Kevin Stuber seconded the motion to appoint David Waddell, Solid Waste Supervisor, as Woodson County’s representative to the SEK Multi-County Health Department Board; the motion passed. Commissioners noted that Matt Combs also serves on the board and said they are seeking a new provider member.
The board formalized an equipment swap between the sheriff’s office and Emergency Medical Services. Commissioner Kevin Stuber moved — and Justin Clark seconded — to approve trading the sheriff’s department’s mobile command unit to EMS in exchange for an Expedition; the motion passed. Earlier in the meeting Sheriff Jacob Morrison had reported that the final patrol vehicle upfitting was underway and the board agreed to transfer the old EMS ambulance to the Sheriff’s Office for use as a mobile command unit.
Treasurer Michelle Zimmerman opened sealed bids for a county lawn mower; bids received were Robert Link ($475), Jeff Craig ($310), and Marvin Chrisman ($528). Commissioner Jerry Sedlacek moved to accept Marvin Chrisman’s $528 bid; the motion passed.
Commissioners approved monthly department reports for May and scheduled a budget work session for July 7, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Zimmerman said the county holds an ARPA fund balance of $27,000 originally intended for Rural Water; the commissioners may request the funds be returned to general use because they have received no response from the intended recipient.
On tourism spending, the board discussed a $2,500 request for the 2027 Toronto Fireworks but approved $500 from Tourism Funds for the Fair Board Concert after a motion by Jerry Sedlacek and a second by Kevin Stuber.
The board approved vouchers totaling $36,470.44 following a motion by Justin Clark and second by Jerry Sedlacek. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that passed unanimously.
The board recessed into multiple short executive sessions during the meeting to discuss attorney-client matters and non-elected personnel issues; the motions for those recesses were recorded on the minutes but personnel details remained confidential.
