The Garfield County Board of County Commissioners handled a slate of routine administrative items on March 16, approving payroll claims and multiple fund appropriations, opening bids for bridge work and materials, authorizing advertisement for grader tire bids, and declaring several AED units surplus.
The board approved payroll claims (Warrant #3169-3428) recording a county-share total for benefits of $201,493.66. County officials approved multiple Cash Fund Estimates of Needs and Requests for Appropriation, including highway unrestricted amounts ($8,000.00; $54,159.64; $330,671.37; $6,242.59), Highway-CBRI $33,752.21, Highway-CIRB $66,943.34, Jail-Used Tax $28,219.84, Jail-Sales Tax $206,136.61, and Rural Fire funds ($11,287.15; $82,448.87; $2,773.58). Transfers included a $15,000 reallocation within the Assessor’s accounts.
Procurement steps included authorization to advertise for sealed bids for grader tires (size 14.00-R24) with responses due March 27, 2026 and the opening of sealed bids for Bid #26-10 (Bridge Construction, District #3) and Bid #26-11 (Bridge Materials, District #3). Bids were read into the record and the board accepted the bids for further study with awards to be decided later. A sample of vendors and bid figures is recorded in the minutes.
The board also approved a $4,500 quote from Major Mechanical for a 5-ton rooftop package unit for OSU Extension and approved an employee assignment confirmation to raise Clinic R.N. Vicki Brights’ hourly rate from $49.00 to $51.00 for Amergis and Garfield County Health Department work. Two resolutions (No. 26-48 and No. 26-49) declared several CR+ AED Semi Defibrillator units obsolete and ordered them junked; serial numbers and inventory codes are listed in the minutes.
A lengthy list of purchase orders and claims across departments was approved as presented, with vendors and warrant numbers recorded in the minutes. The board approved blanket purchase orders filed in the County Clerk’s office and noted that items not acted upon would be carried forward. The board adjourned to meet again March 23, 2026.
