The Jackson County Board of Supervisors authorized the auditor’s office July 29 to issue warrants and publish the claims listing totaling $312,216.20.
Auditor Lisa Smith presented the claims listing and asked for a motion to authorize the warrants and publication. The motion passed on voice vote. During discussion, supervisors noted the claims included substantial rock purchases — described as reclaimed rock and quarry rock for improvements — and several routine subscription charges. One supervisor said monthly baseline claims are roughly in the $160,000–$200,000 range.
Board members also questioned a small charge related to CPR certification. Auditor Smith and others explained that the sheriff’s department had training and the county likely paid the certification cards (about $15 per card) for participants; the charge appears to cover credentialing cards rather than class instruction fees.
The board approved the claims authorization by voice vote; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the transcript.
