Next steps and administrative notes
- The county will advertise bids for the truck scales replacement project with a bid-opening date of Oct. 29, 2025, as recorded.

Charges, contract names, project numbers and dollar amounts reported at the meeting were recorded as stated; where the clerk or presenters used only general phrases (for example, “so moved”), the record does not attribute the mover or seconder to a named individual.
