Alva Review-Courier -

The Woods County commissioners tackled mostly routine business during Monday’s meeting. They approved a number of annual contracts and agreements.

District 2 Commissioner Randy McMurphy chaired the meeting with District 1 Commissioner David Hamil and District 3 Commissioner John Smiley present.

Workers compensation insurance from ACCO-SIF for the next fiscal year will cost $59,944. County Clerk Shelley Reed said it’s about the same amount as last year. The cost for Woods County property and liability insurance from ACCO-SIG is $133,703 which is an increase. McMurphy said the extra cost was mostly due to “getting things insured like they’re supposed to be.”

Woods County Enhanced 911 is required to have a separate property and liability insurance policy. That ACCO-SIG insurance is $4,755 for fiscal year 2021-2022.

Commissioner approved the FY21-22 contract with County Budgeting Services, LLC in the amount of $7,500. They approved another County Budgeting Services, LLC contract for the Health Department for $1,350.

A contract with TM Consulting Inc. for the Woods County Health Department for software for the next fiscal year was approved in the amount of $15,000.

Two transfers of appropriations were approved. Both District 1 and District 2 will have transfers from Highway CIRB to Highway personal service in the amount of $22,594.08 each. CIRB (county improvements for roads and bridges) funds come from motor vehicle taxes.

The monthly report from the sheriff’s office was approved including collections of $2,526.39 and expenses of $4,193.08.

The commissioners also approved blanket purchase orders.

Under new business, Smiley asked some questions about buying rock for use in road work. The company where he intended to purchase the rock inadvertently did not submit a new six month bid. The commissioners haven’t approved those bids yet, so Reed told him he had a few days to buy the rock on the old bid price.
