- Approved accounts payable vouchers as submitted (motion made and seconded; vote carried).

- Approved allowing the Telegraph Hill–Rikers Ridge Sewer District to reallocate $30,000 of previously committed ARPA funds (original ARPA allocation to the district was $175,000) to cover engineering costs for the sewer-improvement project; this item was discussed during a public hearing on the project and the motion carried. (See separate article for full hearing coverage.)
- Authorized closing the courthouse and county offices on Dec. 5 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the county employees’ Christmas event; the motion carried. Commissioners also noted that employees raise funds for the event and vendors are sometimes asked to donate gifts.

Most motions were recorded as moved and seconded in open session; the meeting transcript does not include a roll-call vote with individual yes/no tallies for these items, only the clerk’s announcement that motions passed. Where exact mover/seconder names were not stated on the record, the transcript identified the motions and that votes were carried.
