Forest County commissioners approve routine bills, contracts and personnel moves
Summary
At a brief Nov. 5 meeting, Forest County commissioners approved payrolls and bills, multiple vendor payments and contracts — including a $19,550 election support contract — and authorized several hires and resignations at the Salary Board.
Forest County commissioners convened Nov. 5 and approved a slate of routine expenditures, contracts and personnel actions across county accounts. The board accepted payrolls and bills for the General Fund, Transportation and Children & Youth programs and authorized vendor payments, reimbursements and one equipment purchase for the sheriff’s office.
The meeting record shows a number of account disbursements: 2021 tax sale overage distributions (Forest County $27,654.00; Forest Area School District $71,650.82; municipalities $5,508.90), operating-reserve payments (including $18,327.50 to Kafferlin Strategies), and smaller departmental supply orders. "The motion carried unanimously," the minutes state, and most items were approved by voice vote with Commissioner Patrick F. Kline, Commissioner Robert J. Snyder Jr., and Commissioner Mark S. Kingston recorded as voting in favor. Diana Szuch, chief clerk, submitted the written minutes of the meeting.
Why it matters: these routine approvals finalize payroll and vendor payments, authorize short-term procurement and implement personnel actions that affect county operations and services. The Salary Board portion of the meeting immediately following the commissioners' session recorded multiple resignations and hires, and the creation of a new Assistant Chief Clerk position.
