4 issues with medium priority
Underground Fiber Optic Infrastructure Expansion
The county is replacing an old fiber line between the youth center and sheriff's office that nobody can even locate — a risk if it gets cut. The new line triples capacity to 40 gigabits and adds access points for easier repairs.
Fleet and equipment purchasing
The county bought a used 2022 Mack semi for Road & Bridge at $108,000 — about $62,000 less than new — using the reverse auction method it has had success with before.
Uniform and mat service vendor switch
Years of billing errors and wrong or missing uniforms from the current vendor prompted a countywide switch to UniFirst, cutting annual costs from about $48,158 to $26,435.
New tax assessor-collector appointment
Christina McMurray is resigning; 25-year tax office veteran Sydney Dorton takes over January 1 to finish the term, praised for steady leadership during McMurray's medical leave.
