The Red Willow County Board of Commissioners on June 22 approved a new bailiff agreement, multiple budget amendments to cover higher-than-expected medical claims, and a consent agenda that included $637,344.97 in accounts payable and payroll claims.
During the meeting at the Commissioners’ Room, Judge Patrick Heng joined to discuss a new bailiff agreement that runs through June 30, 2026. Commissioner Randy Dean moved to approve the agreement as presented — contingent on participation by the other counties — and Commissioner Charles Fritsche seconded; the motion passed on a roll-call vote with Commissioners Gans, Dean and Fritsche voting aye.
The board opened a public hearing at 9:45 a.m. to amend budget authority and approved Resolutions No. 1592, 1593, 1594 and 1595 (Book 24, Pages 99–102) to transfer authority from the Inheritance Tax to the General Fund and then to the Self-Insurance Fund to cover higher-than-expected medical claims. The county clerk’s minutes state these resolutions amend budget authority only and will not affect tax monies collected. Commissioner Dean moved and Commissioner Fritsche seconded the motions; roll-call votes were recorded as ayes for all three commissioners.
On the consent agenda the board approved minutes from the prior meetings; accounts payable and payroll claims totaling $637,344.97; an agreement with Daniel D. Miller, CPA for 2026–2027 budget preparation; and Resolution No. 1591 (Book 24, Page 98) to transfer budget authority between functions in the General Fund. The consent agenda motion was made by Commissioner Fritsche, seconded by Commissioner Dean, and passed by roll call (Gans, Dean, Fritsche — ayes).
In the Board of Equalization portion of the meeting, Assessor Lori Stevens presented Tax Roll Correction No. 7 for 2025, reporting a total increase of $5.62; the correction was approved (motion by Gans, seconded by Fritsche; roll call ayes). The commissioners then adjourned the meeting at 11:35 a.m. and set the next meeting for July 13, 2026.
The minutes show routine administrative items also reviewed and filed, including Clerk’s and Sheriff’s monthly revenue reports; no gravel bids were received and no further action on procurement was recorded.
