The Board of County Commissioners of the County of Somerset adopted Capital Bond Ordinance 25-1399 and approved multiple grouped resolutions during a regularly scheduled meeting, after a public hearing on the ordinance produced no public comment. The board took the votes by roll call, with all named commissioners and recorded staff responding in the affirmative.
The board opened a public hearing on Capital Bond Ordinance 25-1399, described on the record as amending Bond Ordinance 25-797 that had been finally adopted by the board on 04/22/2025. The public hearing produced no speakers; the board closed the public portion and then moved to adopt the ordinance. The motion to adopt Ordinance 25-1399 passed on a roll call in which Commissioner Greener, Commissioner Drake, and Commissioner Sui each recorded “Yes,” and Deputy Director Murano and Director Robinson likewise answered “Yes.”
Following the ordinance vote the board approved a series of resolution blocks by the same roll call process: Resolutions 25-1400 through 25-1410; 25-1411 through 25-1430; 25-1431 through 25-1490; and 25-1491 through 25-1511. For each block the meeting record shows a motion, a second, and unanimous affirmative responses from Commissioner Greener, Commissioner Drake, Commissioner Sui, Deputy Director Murano, and Director Robinson.
The public portion of the meeting had a stated public-comment rule: speakers were allotted five minutes, could not yield their time to others, and could not speak a second time; no public comments, emails, or phone calls on the ordinance were recorded. The meeting then proceeded to other business, including a vote to enter executive session (see separate coverage).
The votes taken on the ordinance and resolution blocks were procedural approvals recorded on the meeting transcript; the transcript does not include details in this section about the substantive uses of the bond proceeds or the subject matter of the individual resolutions.
