The commissioners approved dropping Julie Helm and adding Gina Schaaf as receiving officer for District 2.
Numerous small account transfers were approved for most offices to even out fund availabilities as the fiscal year near an end.
Previously, May 1 had been declared as a "go or no-go" point for Tyler Technologies to get their courthouse accounting software working. Shelley Reed said the firm had been working very intently and she was pleased that their accounts are balancing and the fixed asset module is working. The commissioners agreed to continue with the firm if they can complete their tweaks by July. At that time, a new contract will be due.
John Smiley made a motion to move $10,000 from the general government fund to the rural fire fund because the huge number of fires have depleted rural fire budgets. David Hamil agreed with a second to the motion and it passed unanimously.
No action was taken on an agenda item where the Jehovah's Witness group asked to use the courthouse property. No representative showed up to explain the request.
The commissioners voted to pay for inoculations for any employees who need protection from blood-borne hepatitis B. This would apply mainly to EMT personnel and possibly firefighters.
