Haskell County commissioners sign proclamation, declare surplus property and approve routine reports

Haskell County commissioners approved a set of routine agenda items, including a proclamation for Child Abuse Awareness Month, two resolutions approving surplus and disposal of county clerk's office items, acceptance of monthly reports and routine appropriations and transfers.

The board moved to sign a proclamation recognizing Child Abuse Awareness Month; the motion carried with votes recorded in the transcript. Commissioners then considered Resolution 312629, which the record shows declares assorted items (shelves, cabinets, chairs, a shredder and a filing cabinet) surplus from the county clerk's office. The motion to approve Resolution 312629 was moved, seconded and recorded as approved.

Similarly, Resolution 312630, authorizing disposal of equipment for the county clerk's office, was presented and approved. Commissioners also reviewed and signed monthly reports from the assessor, election board and sheriff; motions and votes approving those reports were recorded.

When the board voted to approve the commissioners' proceedings from the prior meeting, the transcript records two affirmative votes and one opposing vote; the dissenting voice in the transcript is recorded as the word "Blanket," and the record does not unambiguously identify which commissioner that represents. The meeting proceeded to administrative items and brief discussion of publication timing for a listed item before informal closing remarks.
