Board of County Commissioners approves Jan. 9 minutes, ratifies claims and passes consent agenda

The Board of County Commissioners met on Jan. 16. Speaker 1 opened the session, led the Pledge of Allegiance and called for a moment of silence before proceeding to routine business.

The board approved the minutes from its Jan. 9 meeting after Speaker 1 moved to adopt them and Speaker 2 seconded. The motion carried on a voice vote with commissioners answering "Aye." No names were recorded in the transcript for the vote.

Next, the board addressed claims. Speaker 1 asked whether there were claims to consider and Speaker 2 moved to approve a set of claims (the claim numbers are not clearly transcribed in the record). A second was recorded and commissioners voted "Aye," approving the claims. The transcript renders the claim numbers unclearly; those numbers are recorded in the minutes as transcribed.

The board then considered the consent agenda. Speaker 1 moved to approve the consent agenda and place the listed file items on file; Speaker 2 seconded the motion. Commissioners voted "Aye," and the consent agenda was approved.

Speaker 1 asked for public comments on county business; none were recorded in the transcript. Speaker 1 noted that next week's agenda will be busy. The meeting concluded when Speaker 1 stated, "We're adjourned."
