At its March 18 meeting the Garfield County Board of County Commissioners approved a suite of routine fiscal and property actions, including cash fund estimates, payroll and vendor warrants, and several resolutions to dispose of or return county equipment.
By unanimous motion the Board approved Cash Fund Estimates and Requests for Appropriation including Highway Unrestricted ($358,425.52), Highway-CBRI ($41,850.98), Highway-CIRB ($75,705.34), a small Highway Unrestricted transfer ($557.85), Drug Court ($4,354.16), Jail Sales Tax ($185,169.12) and Use Tax-Jail Share ($28,145.21). The Board also approved a transfer of appropriation balances within the Assessor's office of $7,000.00 and numerous warrants and purchase orders across departments as listed in the minutes.
The Board passed multiple resolutions to dispose of equipment: Resolution #24-35 (District #1 vehicles and equipment), Resolution #24-36 (District #2 vehicles), Resolution #24-37 (District #3 equipment including a 1979 John Deere 762 scraper), and Resolution #24-38 declaring OSU Extension items surplus. Resolution #24-39 recorded returning listed OSU Extension equipment to OSU. All actions were recorded as approved with votes Aye: Reese Wedel, Clarence Maly and David Loesch; Nay: none.
The Board also moved into executive session at 10:31 a.m. to discuss the Garfield County Deferred Compensation Plan and a letter from a county employee under 25 O.S.2011 § Par B-7; the Board returned at 10:43 a.m. and approved the employee letter by motion. The minutes do not disclose details discussed in executive session beyond statutory citation and the outcome (approval of a letter).
The minutes list many warrants and vendors (examples include payment line items for County share of benefits $218,367.99 and a $375,000.00 capital outlay entry to Guarantee Abstract Co. under ARPA-related items). Where the minutes do not specify details (for example exact disposition method or purchaser for surplus items), the item is recorded here as "not specified."
