Clerk signs delivery contract for voting machines; commissioners approve $180,000 for KEDCO projects

County Clerk Melissa Bogs requested permission to enter a contract with a vendor (Two Men and a Truck) to deliver voting machines to vote centers the day before elections and to retrieve them after elections for both the primary and November ballots. She also announced early voting hours that began the same day (8 a.m.) and two upcoming Saturday sessions on April 25 and May 2 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Justice Building. Commissioners approved the contract and the schedule was confirmed.

Separately, Dawn Wilkinson presented a request from KEDCO for $180,000 in special-project funds to be used across the first two quarters of the year. Wilkinson said packets included brief descriptions of initiatives and commissioners asked KEDCO to report back at year-end on outcomes and spending to demonstrate return on investment. The commissioners approved the $180,000 request by voice vote.

Both approvals were recorded by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were given in the transcript.
