Signs damaged by shooting in county

 

July 27, 2023



POMEROY–The Garfield County board of Commissioners (BOCC) discussed the problem of shot-up signs, approved several fund transfers, and discussed bids for a key code badge system for the courthouse at their meeting on July 24.

Signs are being shot into around the county, causing damage to the signs that cause it to fail to meet legal parameters. Replacing the signs will be expensive to the county due to high aluminum prices. The damage is not restrained to any particular part of the county, being spread around the area.

The BOCC passed resolution 2023-14, a transfer from County Road to Garfield County Fire District No. 1 of $14,760.72. The transfer fixes a funding paper trail, as does resolution 2023-15, transferring $15,065.58 from the current expense fund to County Road.

The commissioners discussed bids for a key code badge system to be installed at the courthouse. The current low bidder is Pacific Automation at $103,996. The bid is under review for completeness before acceptance.

The BOCC also passed Ordinance 2023-15, a periodic review of the shoreline master program.
