Commissioners adopt amended Capital Asset Ordinance, shifting inventory duties to departments
Summary
Jackson County commissioners amended and passed Ordinance No. 2 (Commissioners Bill No. 2), removing the phrase 'Department Head' from Section 3 and clarifying that departments are responsible for inventory maintenance in the county software; the ordinance was approved on second reading after suspending rules.
Jackson County commissioners approved amendments to the Capital Asset Ordinance (Ordinance No. 2 / Commissioners Bill No. 2) on April 21 and passed the ordinance on second reading the same day after suspending rules.
Commissioner Drew Storey said he had followed up with department heads and elected officials and found departments already maintain an asset list or inventory schedule; the revised language removes the phrase "Department Head" from Section 3 and allows departmental delegation of inventory duties within the county's asset software. Commissioner Andrew Stauffer said it was logical that the people responsible for assets manage the records. Storey moved to approve on first reading, the board suspended rules to take the second reading, and the ordinance passed on second reading (motions by Storey; each carried 3–0).
The minutes do not record specific implementation dates or changes to budget lines; they indicate the ordinance clarifies responsibility and is expected to streamline asset management across departments.
