Where the transcript did not provide detailed agreement or contract text, the minutes record the motion, a second and an affirmative voice vote. The meeting record does not list individual commissioners’ yea/nay votes for these items in the excerpt provided.
Most approved items were administrative (agreements, grant amendments and equipment purchases); the meeting minutes show commissioners handled these with routine motions and majority voice votes.
For any item listed here in which the transcript excerpt omits substantive contract or grant language, the county clerk’s office maintains the complete agreement files and should be consulted for full terms and fiscal impact.
