County approves $72,463 chemical purchase and pays $297,627 in selected bills

On June 2 the Osage County Commission approved a procurement and a batch of county bills.

Kevin Coley presented a purchase order for herbicides and related products to Van D Supply Company. The board moved and seconded a motion to approve purchase order 4208 for Noxious Weed Chemicals in the amount read aloud ($72,463.20) to be paid from fund 137‑00‑5300; the motion carried on a voice vote.

Later in the meeting the commission moved to approve paying selected bills for the batch dated 6‑2‑26, reading an amount of $297,627.10. Commissioners discussed fund balances for some departmental items, agreed to double‑check balances and deferred one sheriff-related transport-van item to next week for clarification. The motion to pay the bills was seconded and carried.

The meeting transcript does not record the specific commissioner names who moved or seconded each motion, and no roll-call tallies by name were recorded on the record; motions were adopted by voice vote as noted in the minutes.

Copies of the procurement paperwork and bill documentation were to be routed to the county controller and clerk’s office for processing and signature.
