Commission approves surplus items, small facility contracts and board appointments

St. Clair County Commission · July 28, 2026

Summary

The commission approved routine administrative items including surplusing broken 911 equipment, selling three old pickup trucks on govdeals, a $493 gas‑line install to the coroner's office, a $15,000 estimate for SWAT building gas service, and the appointment of Mayor Nick Rutage (Moody) to the health authority.

Commissioners moved through a slate of administrative items and votes. They approved surplusing multiple broken 911 items at the request of 911 Director Alen Campbell, authorized listing three older county pickup trucks on govdeals.com for sale, and ratified travel and maintenance items. The commission approved a $493 Spire contract to install a gas line and meter to the coroner’s building and an estimated $15,000 installation for the sheriff’s SWAT building at the road-department campus (SEG 3310–3312, SEG 3290–3299).

The board also confirmed personnel and appointments: it recorded the resignation of Mayor Joe Lee from the health authority and appointed Mayor Nick Rutage of Moody as his replacement. Commissioners approved routine maintenance-contract renewals (Secure Tech Systems, $4,881 two‑year maintenance) and a mileage-rate increase to 76 cents per mile to match the state rate. The chairman quipped that the commission had "spent more time in discussing this than $493," a line that drew laughter and underscored the informal nature of some procedural items (SEG 3286–3288).
