The Limestone County Commission convened and carried a series of unanimous motions on routine and project items, including approval of claims, acceptance of a sheriff's office grant, staffing-plan amendments, bid awards and a small subdivision.

The meeting opened with standard procedures and roll call. The most significant fiscal action on the agenda was the commission's approval of claims totaling $2,889,978.59. Commissioner Gatlin moved to approve the claims; Commissioner Turner seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

The commission also approved acceptance of an Adecco grant for $97,552.57 for the Limestone County Sheriff’s Office. Commissioner Gatlin moved the acceptance; Commissioner Townsend seconded. Commissioners voted unanimously to accept the grant. During the item the meeting record states the sheriff's office agreed to pay a difference described in the transcript as “3,400 and $37.43” out of the office's discretionary fund; the commission did not provide a separate, clarified dollar figure during the meeting.

A resolution to sell at auction a parcel on Plato Jones Street that is partially owned by the county was approved. Commissioner Turner moved the resolution and Commissioner Samet seconded; the vote was unanimous.

On procurement and project matters the commission awarded a bid for a project identified in the minutes as “Project Fox.” The record includes multiple numeric amounts in the motion wording that were unclear in the meeting transcript; the commission approved the bid award with a unanimous vote (motion by Commissioner Turner, second by Commissioner Samet). The minutes did not include a contractor name in the discussion recorded on the transcript.

The commission approved a series of budget and staffing items: a budget revision (motion by Commissioner Turner), personnel actions including new hires/transfers numbered 1–9 (motion by Commissioner Samet), amendments to the staffing plan affecting the license commission office and the tags office (motion by Commissioner Gatlin), and additional staffing items numbered 11 and 12. All of these motions passed by unanimous vote. The transcript records some conflicting phrasing about tag-office headcount in the staffing-plan item (the text first stated a change “to go from 66 to 5” and then said “They go to 6”); the commission approved the staffing changes as presented on the agenda.

The commission approved merit increases and two construction change orders for the health-care unit build-out at the county jail (the record notes two change orders but does not provide detail in the spoken minutes). Both motions passed unanimously.

The county engineer presented one subdivision for consideration, the Simmons Clem Subdivision, described in the engineer's report as a minor preliminary-and-final subdivision creating two lots in District 1. Commissioner Samet moved to approve the subdivision; Commissioner Turner seconded. The motion carried unanimously.

Other routine motions carried without discussion: removing certain items from commission inventory and transferring them to the coroner, offering specified surplus items for sale on GovDeals, and several bid and personnel approvals listed on the agenda. The meeting record shows no executive session was held.

During the report-of-officers portion, Commissioner Daryl Sanders reported that the old Sharp Road bridge had been removed and that engineering will lay out the replacement; he said a contractor is lined up and the county hopes to have the bridge in place in April. Sanders also noted community fundraisers including a hospice chili fundraiser and other local events. Those remarks were informational and did not create an additional formal action on the record.

The chair adjourned the meeting and set the next session for 9 a.m. on Monday the seventeenth. The transcript does not include a calendar month or year for that date in the recorded remarks.

No item in the spoken record generated a recorded dissenting vote or a formal tabling; several agenda entries contained unclear numeric phrasing in the audio transcript (noted above). Where the meeting record was imprecise (for example, the tag-office headcount wording and some procurement dollar amounts), this article reports the motion as recorded and flags the transcript ambiguity rather than reinterpreting the figures.
