Franklin County commissioners approve street vacations, 0.25% use tax for 9-1-1 and several contracts

At the Franklin County Commission meeting, commissioners approved a series of routine orders that the body said will affect county property records, emergency communications funding and IT operations.

The commission approved Commission Order 2026-106, accepting a petition to vacate a street for Joshua J. Williams. A motion to approve was made and seconded and the chair announced the motion carried.

Commission Order 2026-107, accepting a petition to vacate a subdivision road for David E. and Sherry A. Day, was similarly moved, seconded and approved.

The commission approved Commission Order 2026-108 to impose a quarter-percent use tax dedicated to funding 9-1-1 systems and the dispatch center.

Commission Order 2026-109 authorized the execution for purchase of web services from CivicPlus for the Franklin County IT department.

Finally, the commission approved Commission Order 2026-110, the consent agenda, which the chair noted included items such as recorder of deeds fees and personal property tax book charges for February.

Motions on these items were made and seconded from the dais and the chair announced each motion carried. The transcript records the actions and the chair's confirmations but does not provide detailed roll-call vote tallies for each item.

After approving the consent and action items, the chair solicited departmental and elected-official reports from the audience; the meeting record ends as those reports were requested.
