Mills County board approves tax correction, copier and audio purchases, and an Amazon account limit
Summary
The board approved Resolution 26-26 to correct an erroneous tax payment and cancel a partial tax sale certificate, authorized purchase of a $4,300 copier and a $5,176.04 in‑ceiling microphone system for the boardroom, and approved setting a $20,000 Amazon government account credit limit monitored by the auditor's office.
At its July 8 meeting the Mills County Board of Supervisors approved several administrative and procurement actions.
Correction of tax payment (Resolution 26-26): Treasurer Melissa Loggarty (S9) described a case where a taxpayer paid the wrong parcel online and the payment was applied to a parcel that had already gone to tax sale. She requested authority to correct the payment, cancel the tax-sale certificate and reimburse any investor where required. A motion to approve Resolution 26-26 to correct the erroneous tax payment and cancel the partial tax sale was moved, seconded and approved; the treasurer said she will complete the fiscal-year-end processes necessary and report back to the board.
Copier purchase: The treasurer asked for authority to replace the courthouse copier. After discussing lease-versus-buy and maintenance options, the board approved purchasing a copier from VisualEdge IT for a purchase option of $4,300 with an associated maintenance plan (maintenance pricing discussed in the meeting as roughly $25 weekly or a comparable contract). The motion passed by voice vote.
Boardroom audio: Patrick Benz (S10), introduced by the chair as the county IT director, recommended installing an in‑ceiling Cisco‑integrated microphone system to improve in‑room audio and remote meeting recordings; the system price presented was $5,176.04. The board approved the purchase and directed IT to install the system.
Amazon government account limit: IT reported the county qualified for a $20,000 credit limit on a government Amazon account to allow invoice purchases (rather than individual department cards). The board approved accepting the $20,000 account credit limit with oversight by the auditor's office.
Each of these measures passed on motions recorded in the meeting transcript; treasurer and IT staff will proceed with purchasing and follow-up actions and report back to the board as appropriate.
