# 9-29-26 Commission Meeting

Franklin County Commission meeting, September 29, 2026. The commission approved several procurement and financial actions: it awarded Bid 2026-30 for guardrail furnishing and installation to Indian Creek Sand and Gravel, and approved the award of Bid 2026-31 for used Altec equipment. The used equipment was described as costing about $49,000, compared with approximately $318,000 for new equipment. The commission also approved Bid 2026-26 for an employee benefits consultant, identified in the transcript as Acer, with the stated goal of improving services while reducing costs, and approved a renewed pricing agreement with Mercy Occupational Health for drug and alcohol screening and pre-employment physicals; the agreement includes a price increase, but no amount was stated.

The commission approved prepayment of part of the county’s 2018 certificates of participation, an action described as paying the debt off 10 years early and saving substantial interest. Other approved items included allocating county school interest from fines and forfeitures, naming a county road, and changing the senior property tax credit process so eligible residents would not need to reapply annually. Public comments focused heavily on previously approved hyperscale data-center proposals; commissioners declined to discuss them on advice of counsel because of threatened litigation, and no new data-center procurement action or vote was reported. A speaker also cited historical county spending of $32,500 for Flock cameras and a $25,000 annual contract, and requested that the cameras be shut down, but no action was taken on that request during this meeting.
