The Crawford County Commission handled a slate of routine administrative items and contract approvals.
Canvass and consent agenda: Commissioners certified that no ballots were cast in a March 4 special school bond election covering a small precinct overlap with Bourbon County and accepted the canvass results. Several consent-agenda items were read into the record, including clerk’s reports and multiple funding requests; those items were approved.
IT and billing approvals: Commissioners approved payment of a Tyler Technologies invoice for $26,040.38 for the county’s Encode/system services, noting a roughly $2,000 increase from the prior year. The board also moved to replace the Nixle notification system with the Genesis platform; commissioners approved initial contract payment/fee presentation and authorized staff to finalize the annual contract with a startup amount quoted at $10,995 and annual terms with a 60‑day opt-out.
Resolutions, appointments and tax corrections: The commission approved Resolution 2025-008 to finalize the county’s Local Emergency Operations Plan (LEOP) after state review and moved to reappoint Rita Probert to JACAP and to accept Jan Dorsey’s nomination to the Sherman Township clerk vacancy. The board approved three personal-property tax-roll corrections/refund requests (Hobson $12; Pulliam/Brooks $24 for 2022 and $24 for 2023; Knudson $24 for 2022 and $36 for 2023) citing clerical errors and authorized the clerk to process refunds.
Solid waste: Commissioners accepted the annual solid-waste plan update. Staff reported landfill tonnage increases (noted in committee minutes as rising from roughly 800–900 tons to about 1,300 tons daily) and described consultant work on a recycling-center business plan and cleanup program; commissioners approved the annual review and asked staff to work on committee membership and compliance items specified by state statute.
No significant controversy was recorded on these approvals; most motions carried by voice vote.
