Votes at a glance: Riley County Commission approved staffing, contracts and grant signings
At the meeting, the Riley County Commission recorded motions approving a set of routine administrative items and contract actions. Few motions included full roll-call vote language in the transcript; where vote tallies or named movers were not recorded in the audio, the transcript noted motions were seconded and the commission voiced assent.

Summary of formal actions recorded in the meeting record:

- Approve extension of contract with Towers Enterprises for credit and cash services.
Motion text (as read): "Approve the extension of the contract with Towers Enterprises for credit and cash service." The motion was seconded and the commission voiced approval. (Transcript did not record named mover/second consistently or roll-call tallies.)

- Approve agreement with professional services for building/brief inspections (professional services contract).
Motion text (as read): "Agreement with professional services for inbound brief inspection" (paraphrased from the meeting). Motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; specific roll-call not recorded in the transcript.

- Authorize chair to sign the Hartley Grant award contract.
Commissioners voted to authorize the chair to sign the Hartley Grant award contract; the motion was seconded (Paul Taylor recorded as second in the discussion) and approved.

- Approve employee action forms / hiring and personnel actions.
The commission approved a slate of employee actions that included multiple hires and position changes listed by staff. The transcript records the names presented and shows the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

- Approve correction to the Oct. 9 meeting minutes.
Motion to approve minutes as corrected was made and approved.

- Approve refill of maternal-and-child-health public health nurse position.
Motion to refill the MCH public health nurse position was seconded and approved; staff noted the position is funded by KDHE aid-to-local MCH grant and county match.

Notes on vote records: Several motions were handled by voice vote and the transcript records generic assent ("Aye") rather than a roll-call tally with each commissioner’s named vote. Where the transcript did not capture a named mover, seconder or detailed tally, the entry below lists available details and notes that the transcript did not record individual-level vote tallies.

Ending: Staff were directed to proceed on actions that had been approved and to return items that required further legal review or additional direction (for example, the Stottle Sewer Benefit District) to a future meeting.
