Commissioner Goodman moves approval of $60,001.61 and 96¢ computer purchase after executive session

The Board of Commissioners convened a special called meeting Oct. 2, opened with an invocation by Commissioner Goodman, and briefly entered an executive session before approving a purchase of computer hardware described in the transcript as "$60,001.61 and 96¢."

The board opened with the invocation and the pledge of allegiance and the Clerk called the roll, saying that all commissioners were present. The Clerk introduced and the board adopted the special called agenda by voice vote.

The meeting then moved into an executive session. The Clerk stated the meeting would return to the special called meeting after the executive session.

After reconvening, Commissioner Goodman said, "I make a motion to approve the purchase of computer hardware in the amount of $60,001.61 and 96¢." The Clerk asked for a second; a second was recorded and the Clerk called the voice vote, stating, "Motion carries." The transcript does not record individual vote tallies or identify the second by name.

The Clerk opened an additional public-comment period and reported that no members of the public were signed up to speak. The Clerk then moved to adjourn the special called meeting and the board voted to adjourn.

The transcript does not specify the jurisdiction (for example, county or city) that the Board of Commissioners represents, and it does not disclose any discussion that occurred during the executive session.
