The Craw­ford County Board of Com­mis­sion­ers met in open ses­sion on Tues­day, Jan. 24.

The com­mis­sion­ers approved a res­o­lu­tion to accept bids for the con­struc­tion of a 40 feet by 60 feet salt stor­age build­ing for the County High­way Depart­ment. Bids will be accepted until 10 a.m. on Feb. 9.

Scott Kibler from Help Me Grow met with the com­mis­sion­ers to dis­cuss pend­ing leg­isla­tive changes that may affect how the pro­gram is cur­rently admin­is­tered and funded. Help Me Grow is a State pro­gram pro­vid­ing home safety and other edu­ca­tion for new and expec­tant moth­ers. Although there are no changes at this time, the pro­gram is ulti­mately under the con­trol of the com­mis­sion­ers, and Mr. Kibler wanted to give them advance warn­ing of any pos­si­ble changes once new leg­is­la­tion is passed.

In last week’s busi­ness, the com­mis­sion­ers approved the des­ig­na­tion of United Bank, Bucyrus, to be a pub­lic depos­i­tory of monies for the Craw­ford County Munic­i­pal Court.

The Board of Com­mis­sion­ers approved the abol­ish­ment of the posi­tion of Human Resource Man­ager and the lay­ing off of one employee, effec­tive Feb. 6.

Approval was given to coor­di­nate infor­ma­tion by the Craw­ford County Data Pro­cess­ing Board in lieu of the County Records Com­mis­sion and County Micro­film Board. All records, equip­ment, micro­film, etc. will now be trans­ferred from the County Records Com­mis­sion and County Micro­film Board to County Data Pro­cess­ing Board.

A quote was accepted and approved for the pur­chase of one 2012 Auto­CAD LT license for use by and fund­ing through the County Engineer.

The Agree­ment between Lucas County Com­mis­sion­ers, Lucas County Coro­ner, Craw­ford County Com­mis­sion­ers and Craw­ford County Coro­ner was approved for the use of the Lucas County Coro­ner for autopsy ser­vices at the rate of $1,200 per autopsy, plus mileage expenses.

The com­mis­sion­ers also approved a con­tract with Craw­ford Soil & Water Con­ser­va­tion Dis­trict for edu­ca­tional ser­vices rel­a­tive to recy­cling & lit­ter pre­ven­tion. The amount of $8,750 for 2012 ser­vices will be paid as part of the annual allo­ca­tion to the Soil & Water Con­ser­va­tion District.
