- Preliminary plat — Wolf Trail Subdivision (County Road 425, for Brenda Elias): Approved (motion by Commissioner Meehan; second by Commissioner Wilbanks).
- Amendment to Civic Center sale contract (seller to pay not less than half of asbestos removal costs, not to exceed $51,908; feasibility extension to mid-April 2025): Approved (motion by Commissioner Meehan; second by Commissioner Chapin).
- ERI Consulting Inc. contract (asbestos abatement and air-quality monitoring; county to pay half ~$25,954; buyer to pay roughly $25,009.54; payments to be held in escrow and disbursed after ERI issues a clearance certificate): Approved (motion by Commissioner Hill; second by Commissioner Wilbanks).
- Reappointment — Dr. Brandy Reichert Watson, M.D., as Anderson County Local Health Authority: Approved (motion by Commissioner Wilbanks; second by Commissioner Hill).
- Personnel policy — allow part-time county employees up to $20.00 per hour (countywide; final pay rate left to elected officials subject to budgets): Approved (motion proposer recorded as Commissioner Chaikin during discussion; motion seconded by Commissioner Manns; court voice vote recorded "aye").
- Declare equipment surplus and authorize sale at auction (list of equipment and asset IDs read into record, including tractors, dump trucks, trailers and chainsaws): Approved (motion by Commissioner Mann; second by Commissioner Wilbanks).
- Return John Deere Model 6220 tractor to Precinct 2 inventory and remove from surplus list: Approved (motion by Commissioner Wilbanks; second by Commissioner Hill).
- Five-year master agreement with I3 Software Services LLC (NetData) for hosting and service for four Justice of the Peace offices: Approved (motion by Commissioner Manns; second by Commissioner Chapin).
- Price increase for jail meal services (5 Star Correctional Services), effective 05/01/2025: Approved (motion by Commissioner Wilbanks; second by Commissioner Meehan). Sheriff Flores explained the increase is a CPI-U redetermination; lower jail population reduced the county's overall weekly meal cost despite a higher per-meal price.
Ending: Several routine development and service contract items were approved by voice vote. The bank-building offer (agenda item 15) was discussed at length during the workshop but no purchase motion advanced; a purchase motion died for lack of a second.
