Beaver County commissioners voted to approve the meeting minutes and the list of bills and accounts payable, including a payment of $133,009.79 described at the meeting as the first loan payment for a smaller project.

The vote to approve the minutes for the prior meeting and then to approve bills and accounts payable both carried by voice vote after motions and seconds were offered. The financial overview shown to commissioners included balances in various accounts and a notation that the county is about a year ahead on loan payments.

Commissioners and staff noted propane and winter heating costs were higher this year and discussed transfers from a PTIF savings account to cover the loan payment. One commissioner pointed to a large accounts-receivable item and the use of liens with the county treasurer for unpaid water bills.

The board heard that the loans are current and that some routine maintenance and equipment repairs (including grader and loader work) were in progress. No additional amendments to the bills list were proposed.

The meeting record shows the motions, a second, and unanimous voice approval for both the minutes and the financials; no roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript.

The commission moved on to operations and project discussions after approving the financial items.
