St. Clair County commission approves contracts, phone system and appointment to Pine Mountain board
Summary
The commission voted to accept several grants, renew contracts and approve purchases — including a $51,450 lawn service renewal, a $5,379 Verizon credits contract and a phone-system purchase — and appointed Jason Pruitt to the Pine Mountain board.
St. Clair County commissioners approved a slate of routine items including grants, contracts, a phone-system purchase and a board appointment during the regular meeting.
The board voted to accept a $2,500 small grant listed on the agenda, renew a one-year lawn service contract for $51,450 and approve a contract with National Utilities to recover $5,379 in Verizon credits. Commissioners also authorized purchasing a new phone system from ICS under a cooperative contract pending county attorney review and approved a one-time $12,901.87 integration cost to add central dispatch to the phone system; staff said the integration will require a budget amendment and that the 9-1-1 board may need to meet to resolve funding lines.
Other approved items included ratifying a term maintenance signature for a FY25 federal audit grant, approving FY27 Blue Cross Blue Shield health and dental coverage with no premium increase and providing a letter of support for the Kiwanis Club of St. Clair County West’s Daniel Foundation grant application for an agriculture education center. The commission also approved payment of regular bills, several travel requests and set a FY27 budget work session for June 23 in Pell City.
The board appointed Jason Pruitt to the Pine Mountain board and took the necessary motions to move several procurement and grant items to the next work session or to the county attorney for review before expenditures occur. Votes were recorded by voice ("aye"); no individual roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript.
Votes at a glance: the commission approved acceptance of a $2,500 grant, renewal of a $51,450 lawn service contract, a $5,379 Verizon credits contract with National Utilities, the ICS phone-system procurement (pending attorney review), and the appointment of Jason Pruitt to the Pine Mountain board.
The items approved are administrative in nature; several require follow-up (contract review by county attorney, budget amendments or 9-1-1 board action) before funds are spent.
