Saline County commissioners approve a slate of contracts, bids, change orders and claims
Summary
At their July 7 meeting, the Saline County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved contracts (including a TextMyGov contract), a comprehensive plan bid, highway change orders and the county claims; the board also entered and exited a closed session with no action taken.
The Saline County Board of Commissioners on July 7 approved a series of contracts, bids, change orders and claims during a meeting presided over by Chairperson Stephanie A. Krivohlavek.
The actions adopted included a TextMyGov contract for county offices, acceptance of a bid for the county Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Regulations, multiple highway change orders, an agreement for EPC services with Region 5 Systems, and the routine approval of claims and payroll. Commissioners moved and seconded each item and recorded unanimous aye votes.
Why it matters: the approvals authorize county spending and contracting that affect planning, communications and road projects across Saline County. The Comprehensive Plan and zoning work will guide land-use policy; the TextMyGov contract affects how residents may receive county notices; and the highway change orders adjust work on active road projects.
