Alva Review-Courier -

Six-month bid awarding took the majority of the commissioners' time in Alfalfa County this past Monday. The three officials carefully examined each bid; comparing costs, quality and even distance between their respective district and the potential vendor. Before going through bids however, commissioners signed off on the regular agenda items – previous meeting minutes, payroll, maintenance and operation payment warrants, purchase orders and monthly officer reports. Districts 2 and 3 each held a single road crossing permit, totaling $4,625 for the county.

The three men moved on, tabling the awarding of bids for the fairgrounds' exhibit building refacing project, and instead spent time going over a resolution to execute the agreement establishing the Association of County Commissioners of Oklahoma Self-Insured Group (ACCO-SIG) payment option for workers comp renewal for FY 19-20.

A resolution for application of temporary temporary cash and budgeted account appropriations (FY 19-20) was approved next, along with one for lease purchase renewals. Commissioners addressed the publishing of the county's indebtedness notice for the almost-previous fiscal year (18-19).

Lastly, the trio worked with county clerk Laneta Unruh and administrative assistant Nancy Lambert on a chart of accounts – some of which were not being utilized and some needing separated.
