Commissioner's Meetings, Tuesday 10/13/2026

Grant County Board of County Commissioners’ meetings, October 13, 2026, included an HR update and the weekly commissioners’ meeting. The board discussed a request to add a Veterans Service Officer (VSO) position and reclassify an existing position. After public comment in support of expanded veteran services, commissioners indicated support for the reclassification but sought verification of the Veterans Assistance Fund’s revenue and reserves, and clarification about the position vacancy, before deciding whether to backfill the position. No formal vote on those personnel requests is recorded. The board also reviewed tourism-marketing recruitment and county policy coordination; no related procurement award was identified.

At a public hearing, the board approved the Sheriff’s Office request to surplus a 2000 Ford van bus, more than 20 years old, through auction. The Sheriff’s Office plans to apply proceeds toward a smaller, newer vehicle, such as a Dodge Sprinter-style van; no replacement purchase was approved at this meeting. The vehicle’s stated original cost was $46,978 in 1999. The board also approved the agenda and consent agenda items 1–14. No contract awards or other purchasing approvals were identified.
