Morrow County commissioners approve routine bills, hires, contracts and fund transfers
Summary
On June 17, Morrow County commissioners approved minutes, payment of bills, multiple interfund transfers, a contract renewal for the recorder’s office, an amendment to a late-donation policy, and the hire of McKenna Ward as planning and zoning clerk effective July 6.
The Morrow County Commissioners met June 17 and approved a series of routine administrative and financial items, including minutes from the June 15 regular session, payment of bills, several interfund transfers, a contract renewal for the recorder’s office and a personnel hire.
The meeting opened with scripture read by Speaker 2 and a prayer led by Commissioner Mason. The board then moved quickly through consent items. The clerk introduced payment of bills numbered 1 through 40; Commissioner Mason said, "Motion to approve," and a second was recorded before the clerk called the roll and recorded affirmative votes.
The clerk described an appropriation of certified general-fund moneys to the recorder’s office to cover document preservation fees and benefits for a newly approved hire. Commissioners approved the appropriation on motion and second with roll-call confirmations. The board also authorized a transfer related to the recorder’s fund and special-revenue recorder fees; the exact dollar amounts for that transfer were not clearly stated in the transcript.
A contract renewal for hosted online index books between the recorder’s office and Cox Systems was introduced and approved following a motion and second. The clerk explained that an unspecified renewal was in place to provide online indexing services.
The commissioners voted to amend the county’s catastrophic late donation policy; during the explanation the clerk referenced "the third calendar year" and cited a $160 figure in connection with the policy’s provisions. The board then approved hiring McKenna Ward as planning and zoning clerk, with an effective date of July 6. The clerk read the hire and a motion and second carried on roll call.
The clerk also said a renewal contract had increased by $250 and requested a $250 transfer from liability insurance to the cost-allocation line; commissioners approved that transfer. No dissenting votes were recorded in the parts of the transcript that show roll calls.
The meeting recessed and later returned to regular session to take up remaining items.
