County approves routine transfers; clerk reads major public-works and procurement items

The finance director presented two transfers on the old agenda: a $10,000 general-fund transfer from telephones and communications to technology support (ID 1646) for commissioner's IT, and a $5,000 transfer in fund 1454 (juvenile) from other contract services into employee job-related mileage. Commissioners moved and approved the financial report and transfers.

During the consent agenda, the clerk read a purchase-order item in the amount of $582,627.69 for the 2017 chip-seal contract and a water-and-sewer bid awarding Howell Contractors Inc. the Dust Commander Monticello water-main replacement at a cost not to exceed $1,462,768. The board noted some items had been previously adopted and clerks would reconcile the electronic records with the official agenda.
