Commissioners authorize chairman’s signature on child‑support cooperative agreement amendment

Weston County commissioners on Nov. 18 authorized the chairman to sign Amendment 1 to a cooperative agreement between the county clerk of district court, the child‑support program and the partnering family services organization, following a brief motion and voice vote.

The motion to approve the chairman’s signature on the amendment was moved by an attending commissioner and seconded; commissioners voted in favor and the motion carried. No roll-call tally was recorded in the minutes; one commissioner said “nope” but the motion passed by voice vote.

The document presented included the prior grant and amendments and the local cost breakdown; a commissioner noted the chairman’s signature was required to complete the administrative process. Commissioners did not request additional substantive changes and approved forwarding the signed certificate to city or state partners as required.

Next steps: staff will finalize the signed amendment and submit it to the state and local partners as the agreement’s administrators complete processing.
