The Clay County Commission approved a four-item consent agenda that included meeting minutes, 602 invoices totaling $1,729,890.90, a two-year GPS-tracking and software agreement with SmartPlanet for Road and Bridge, and a budget transfer to provide sufficient payroll funding for the remainder of 2025 for the auditor’s office.
County staff described the consent agenda as routine items the commission had previously reviewed. The motion to approve the consent agenda passed on a recorded roll call 6–0 (Yes: Johnson, Wagner, Thompson, Carpenter, Whittington, Lawson).
On the regular agenda the commission considered item 2025-221, acceptance of 12 invoices for the Clay County Prosecutor’s Office covering the July 12–17 period, totaling $3,724.68. Commissioner Johnson moved approval. During the roll call Commissioner Thompson asked to recuse himself; the record shows the item passed with five votes in favor and one recusal (Yes: Johnson, Wagner, Carpenter, Whittington, Lawson; Recused: Thompson). County staff said there were 12 invoices totaling $3,724.68.
Commissioners made no substantive changes to the consent items during the meeting. The SmartPlanet agreement was identified as a procurement for the Road and Bridge Department (four additional units and software), and staff noted auditors had provided figures for the payroll transfer for the auditor’s office.
Ending: With approval of consent and the prosecutor invoices, the commission moved on to other regular business; staff will continue to monitor the approved contracts and the payroll funding transfer.
