Gratiot County Board of Commissioners Meeting 5/5/26

The Gratiot County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on May 5, 2026, where they discussed several administrative and policy matters. Key procurement-related actions included the approval of a commercial credit card services agreement (Resolution 26-426) to change the credit card carrier to First Financial Bank of Omaha. The board also reviewed and approved invoices totaling approximately $281,953 and a check register totaling about $825,433 for payment processing. Additionally, a motion was passed to allocate $5,000 to the employee engagement committee for employee events, though some commissioners expressed concerns about the legality of using public funds for such purposes and requested legal review.
