Commissioner's Meetings, Monday 8/24/2026

The Grant County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on August 24, 2026, covering a range of administrative and operational topics. Key procurement-related discussions included the review of quotes for printing 40,000 tourism travel planners, with National Color Graphics providing a significantly lower bid of approximately $35,000 compared to another local printer's $54,000 quote. The board considered proceeding with the lower bid and discussed options for publishing the planner online. Additionally, the board addressed a request to reclassify an employee's position from accountant to payroll specialist, reflecting the actual duties performed, with funding confirmed from the tourism budget. Public works presented a proposal to add a bridge repair project to the six-year transportation improvement program to seek funding for replacing a damaged girder, which was approved by motion. Budget meeting scheduling and coordination with departments were also discussed, with plans to begin budget meetings in early November. No final decisions were made on budget scheduling during this session.
