At its October meeting, the Lawrence County Commission approved a series of grants, contracts, road projects and departmental purchases that the board described as routine agenda business.
Among the actions the commission approved were acceptance of a DECA grant for the Westmore project and approval of an ARC basic agency agreement pertaining to a project identified in the agenda as the "West Morgan East Lawrence" project. Commissioners also approved a contractor quote from Limestone for historic courthouse steps and handrails.
Road and transportation approvals included placing a "No through trucks" sign on Kenny Road (route 362) and approving a revised rebuild plan for Kenny Road 400; the county also renewed the airport fuel contract. The commission approved contracting JS Generator Service for generator work at storm shelters.
On departmental purchasing, commissioners approved use of Title III funds to buy a new pickup truck for the sheriff's department (no dollar amount was provided in the record), and they accepted bids for a QuickBooks subscription to enable credit-card processing for the solid waste department and for janitorial and pest-control services (Defense Solution was named for pest control). The commission also discussed residential car decal and a Dr. Woo contract; those items were tabled pending attorney review.
Parks staff presented plans for Hatton Park dugouts and asked the commission to authorize seeking bids or using an existing joint contract; the commission approved proceeding to solicit options. The board also confirmed an appointment of Kelly Barrett to the Community Action Plan board and tabled a library board recommendation pending input from "Mr. Bang."
Many motions passed by voice vote after a motion and a second (the record frequently shows "motion by Commissioner P" and "second by Commissioner Charles" for multiple items). Where votes were taken it was recorded as "motion passes" with no roll-call tally in the transcript.
