Commission to organize for 2001

Commission to organize

for 2001

Getting its

house in order for 2001 will be the primary business of the Fayette County

Commission as it meets this afternoon.

Commissioners

will meet at 3:30 p.m. at the County Administrative Complex.

Election of

a chairman and vice chairman will be on the agenda, something the county's

governing body does each January.

Harold Bost

has served as chairman and Greg Dunn as vice chairman during 2000.

Revisions to

the county's inclement weather policy for workers also will be discussed.

And a contract

to buy all the county's paging services from Verizon Wireless will get

a vote. The move is expected to save money and improve efficiency over

the current situation, in which each department negotiates a separate

contract.

Sixteen items

on the consent agenda, which is usually taken care of in a single vote,

include such housekeeping items as authorizing the chairman and vice chairman

to sign checks.

Also on the

consent agenda is purchase of a Ford Crown Victoria, a Ford Expedition,

a Ford F-150 bi-fuel pickup truck, a Ford F-250 XL pickup and a F-250

XL Crew Cab, for a total of $257,244.15.
