Summary

The commissioners approved purchase requests and invoices, renewed an annual ACDelco software subscription, and approved replacing an aging fuel controller system to improve tracking and reliability for county fleet fueling.

County staff reported an issue with mailed vendor checks not being received (an estimated four to five checks per month) and discussed moving toward more digital payment methods such as ACH or credit card (with fee considerations).

The court approved purchase requests and invoices presented by staff. Brian Klinsick, the county road engineer, updated the court on winter work (hauling sand on County Road 50) and on pending bids; he then requested permission to renew the ACDelco software and to replace a fuel controller system. Commissioners approved the software renewal and the budgeted replacement of the fuel controller, with one commissioner noting the upgrade will improve tracking and reduce long‑term maintenance risk.

The chair said a new county auditor will be sworn in on the 17th and staff were asked to address vendor payment reliability and electronic payment options.
