Commission approves equipment purchases and routine contracts; consent agenda passes
Summary
Franklin County commissioners approved four commission orders: purchase of highway brine tanks and application system (2026-180), amended agreement with GFI Digital for the clerk's office (2026-181), the WIC nutrition services contract (2026-182), and the monthly consent agenda including clerk and building department fees (2026-183).
The Franklin County Commission used voice votes to approve a series of routine orders and contracts during its meeting.
The commission approved Commission Order 2026-180 to acquire two salt-brine tanks and a liquid-application system for the Franklin County Highway Department. During the discussion a member of the public asked about costs and highway-department budget authority; the transcript records two different cost references: one speaker read $6,007.96 and a county official stated "$33,398 each" for the tank plus accessories. County officials said the purchases come from the road-and-bridge fund and are within the approved budget.
Commission Order 2026-181, authorizing an amended agreement with GFI Digital for the clerk's office, was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. The commission then approved Commission Order 2026-182, the execution of the WIC local agency nutrition service contract for the Franklin County Health Department, and later passed the consent agenda (Commission Order 2026-183) covering clerk and building department fees for June.
Motions in the meeting were handled by commissioners and recorded as voice votes. The transcript shows motions, seconds and unanimous "Aye" responses; individual roll-call votes were not recorded in the transcript. The chair declared each motion carried. The commission adjourned following the completion of business.
