Rich County Commission Meeting Aug. 7, 2024 (Remember to view the meeting online at YouTube)

 

G. R. Peart representing The Sons of the American Legion would like to have monetary help in establishing a plaque to commemorate the American Legion Post 52. These men take care of the Veterans Memorial Services. The Commissioners voted in favor.

Jeannie Limb from the Randolph Cemetery District asked that a board member be appointed to replace Geo Peart. Alice Argyle’s name was presented and she will serve in Geo’s place until Jan. 2026. The Commissioners reaffirmed the appointments of all board members to serve out their various term limits.

A presentation was made on a new employee tracking clock service.

Shawn Mill from BRAG and The Economic Development asked the Commissioners to decide how the rural County grant money of $200 K would be allocated for the new grant writing year. There are projects which need engineering and Brag needs county funding.  Shawn will write the grant according to the Commissioners plans and the CEO Board. The Commissioners have been waiting for reports before they could decide how much money they needed in reserve. They approved the decision to get the grant written by August 31st.

Kim Wilson asked the commissioners to let her office know who has access to the computer room as they keep it locked and just need to know who has permission to use it.

Kim is also the Secretary for the Ambulance Service and asked if the Commissioners were going to keep the rates for Ambulance call outs the same as last year. They are $1200 for a call out and $35 per mile. The State allocates $1552 for call outs and $42 per mile. The Commissioners voted to keep the rates the same.

She also presented the plan for online payments from patients that use the ambulance service. The cost is an extra 3% from the patient and 1 $25 per month charge to the County. The Commissioners authorized the online payment plan.
