Warren County Board of Supervisors members approved a multi-item consent agenda on Aug. 18, 2025, after staff corrected a pay-rate calculation and confirmed which property was covered by a request to abate a special assessment.

Board members approved routine personnel and licensing items, including a corrected wage change for a public-health employee and several alcohol licenses, and they voted to abate $5,884 in special-assessment taxes for a parcel cited in a letter from the City of Norwalk.

The board moved quickly through the consent agenda but paused when a member flagged a discrepancy between the parcel number listed in the packet and the address referenced in Norwalk’s letter. The packet listed Parcel 63147000860 (8998 Golden Valley Drive) while the letter referenced 9060 Golden Valley Drive. One supervisor said the name on the letter matched the request but the parcel and mailing address did not appear to match, and asked staff to confirm they were abating the correct account.

A staff member acknowledged that the wrong letter had been attached to the agenda packet and confirmed the parcel number in the packet was correct. After that clarification the board proceeded. The consent agenda also included: approval of minutes from the Aug. 5 meeting; payroll removal for Abigail Van Halen, collections assistant, county attorney’s office, effective Sept. 26, 2025; several job-status and wage updates, including a retroactive adjustment for Joelle Stolte, public-health administrator; and new hires and alcohol-license approvals listed on the agenda.

The board made a single motion to approve the consent agenda, received a second and approved it by voice/roll call vote.

The board did not take additional action on the abatement beyond approving it under the consent agenda; the packet and staff clarification served as the record of which parcel was abated.

The board scheduled its next regular meeting for Sept. 2, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. and adjourned following the consent and remaining business.
