The commissioners voted to accept a maintenance bond for the Peabody East Section 1 subdivision in the amount of $151,792 and to approve quarterly and routine claims and payment recommendations from county vendors and service providers. The board approved Boone Area Transit System’s fourth-quarter claim for $77,080 and ratified multiple payment recommendations from Veridis/Veritas-related project bills, including Center Township Electric invoices and Bradford Systems work.

The board also approved two truck-body purchases for the highway department from GCI (two units at $65,008.97 each, per the quote in the packet).
Treasurer Nikki Baldwin asked the board to approve an addendum extending a services contract with Guts to conduct the county’s annual tax sale; the board approved the extension for the 2025 sale.

Appointments approved included Matt McDonald to the Alcoholic Beverage Board and Ken Kopecki to the Hussey–Mayfield Public Library Board. The board adopted Resolution 2025-01 declaring specified county equipment surplus and noted state disposal thresholds discussed at the meeting (items under $1,000 may be disposed of per state code procedures; items above $5,000 are referred to the state-approved auction process).
Administrative actions approved included a QuickBooks administrator change (primary administrator switched from Mike Wilson to Max [surname not specified in record]) and formal approval of claims and acknowledgements of routine correspondence. The board accepted a staff resignation: Executive Administrator Kaylee Jesse submitted a resignation effective March 7 and offered to assist with transition tasks.
Many approvals were taken by voice vote with commissioners saying "aye"; where individual roll-call totals were not read on the record the meeting transcript records the motions as carried.
