For the first time in quite a while, the Alfalfa County commissioners didn't have much paperwork to sign during their Monday meeting. Jay Hague, Stan Tucker and Marvin Woodall signed a few maintenance and operation payment warrants, along with warrants for payroll.
With no blanket purchase orders or road-crossing permits for the week, officials moved on to the next item regarding COVID-19 updates. They said they are still planning on opening the courthouse to the public on Monday, May 4, unless something changes between now and then. No action was needed there, so the men moved on to talk about six-month bids.
A couple of changes were made to the spec sheet (some vendors were removed, and details were added to the limestone specifications). After reviewing the documents, the commissioners approved the county clerk, Laneta Unruh, go out on six-month bids. Those bids will be due from vendors on June 5 and opened by commissioners on June 8.
Next, a transfer from 1102-6-4100-2005 M&O District 1 account was approved. It was to move $86,000 to the 1102-6-4100-4130 lease purchase District 1 account.
Nearing the agenda's end, the three men revised documents to change the receiving officer in the treasurer's office during the courthouse's closing. (The staff has been staggering their workdays for health precautions.)
In unforeseen business, Hague mentioned he was asked if banners honoring the high school seniors could be placed on the courthouse lawn. He said he was not opposed to it but was concerned the signs might impede lawn care efforts. Commissioners discussed alternate locations, and before making a decision, Hague said he would gather more details. Before adjourning, Alfalfa County treasurer, Valerie Vetter, informed the group that she got a notice from FEMA on three payments to be paid in, but isn't sure yet where they are to go. She said she needed to know by the end of the month.
