Hancock County Board of Supervisors approved the meeting agenda and the minutes from April 21, 2025, accepted a budget revision to recognize carryover funds, approved six exoneration orders, accepted an order denying a claim, approved payment of county bills and voted to terminate an animal care technician retroactive to April 2, 2025.

The actions, taken by recorded voice votes of "aye" during the meeting, affect routine county financial and personnel matters and were presented as part of the board's consent and regular business items. A presenter described the budget revision as recognizing carryover amounts, citing figures that included a $35,000 line item and an equity ending balance including receivables of $78,630.86; the presenter said those figures would be formally incorporated to the provision to ensure carryover is accurately reflected.

Board action and votes

The board first moved to approve the meeting agenda and the minutes from April 21, 2025; both motions passed by voice vote. The board then considered six exoneration orders; the board approved them. A presenter described a revision to the budget to recognize carryover and said the carryover would be formally incorporated; the board approved acceptance of that revision by voice vote.

The board accepted an order denying a claim (recorded on the agenda as an order denying a claim from a state or locality; details of the claimant and claim were not specified in the transcript). The board also voted to terminate Caitlin Lamb from the position of animal care technician, with the termination given a retroactive effective date of April 2, 2025; that motion passed by voice vote. Finally, the board approved payment of county bills totaling $97,953.68, with the funds portion totaling $65,108.48, as presented.

Discussion and context

Discussion during the meeting was brief on most items and limited to procedural confirmation and a short presentation about the budget carryover. The presenter who described the carryover referenced a longer planning document and the state auditor but did not provide additional documentation in the recorded remarks. No motions identified a specific mover or seconder by name in the transcript, and individual vote tallies by supervisor were not provided beyond repeated recorded "aye" votes.
