County commission awards window-cleaning bid, makes bond payment

At their meeting Wednesday morning, March 31, Saline County Commissioners approved a bid for window cleaning on the courthouse.

Presiding Commissioner Becky Plattner said the cleaning will be done soon, to benefit from the scaffolding erected as part of the restoration work.

AmeriGlass Cleaning Inc. was awarded the job, with a bid of $1,800 for inside and out window cleaning.

Brighter Days Corp. of Columbia also submitted a bid, $2,021.

In other business, commissioners approved a transfer of funds to make the biannual payment on the courthouse restoration bond.

The April payment total is about $265,000.

Commissioners also reported that County Auditor Tara Vogelsmeier recently conducted the yearly review of Saline County's MU Extension, and found the finances to be in order.

"This is something that Dr. (Cynthia) Crawford has established and has worked very well for them," Plattner said.

The commission will meet again Thursday, April 1, at 9 a.m. in the lower level of the courthouse.

In other county business, filing for the Democratic and Republican primary elections in August closed Tuesday, March 30.

The only addition to previous reports is Vicky L. Page, a Democratic candidate for the county recorder position.
