Pulaski County commissioners approved routine claims and several procurement items during their regular meeting.

Key approvals: Commissioners approved the bonds presented at the start of the meeting by voice vote. They also approved payroll claims number 24 and renewed a contractual service agreement with Purdue Extension.

IT purchase: Staff explained the circuit court’s computers are seven to eight years old and not running needed programs; commissioners approved a vendor estimate and setup totaling approximately $10,493 to replace or enroll the circuit court computers.

Invoices and EMS equipment: Staff presented four invoices exceeding the $2,500 staff approval limit and commissioners approved them. Commissioners also approved EMS equipment purchases: a cot conversion kit (~$4,773.61), three radios (~$18,972.74) for the ambulances, and trauma and airway bags (~$3,964.88). The meeting record shows the motions, seconds and voice approvals but no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript.

Bridge bid: Bids for Bridge 17 were opened; the only bid received totaled $789,865.50 from Ford Construction Company. Commissioners will review the bid details and vendor qualifications before making any award.

Other motions: The board authorized the president to sign a revolving‑loan release for a 2021 loan paid off by a borrower and authorized Nathan to pursue a survey of the Old County Farm parcel. Various conference travel requests and routine claims were approved by voice vote.

What’s next: Most items were approved by voice vote; the bridge bid will return for staff review and possible award, and the ambulance procurement schedule was referred to the upcoming joint session for fuller discussion.
