Sherman County commissioners completed routine business and approved a series of procedural and financial actions, including the agenda, minutes, payment of bills, tax-roll corrections, a personnel executive session and other administrative items.
The commission first approved the meeting agenda and then the minutes from the Jan. 13 meeting. Commissioners then approved payment of county bills totaling $1,451,430.54 and separately approved payment of an ADP bill for $9,130.30. The meeting record shows motions were moved, seconded and passed by voice vote for these items.
Tax roll corrections numbered 10 through 13 were accepted on a motion and voice vote; staff noted some of the corrections were under protest. Commissioners also approved a fire-board appointment allowing Wilson Henry to assume a named member’s position concurrently.
The commission conducted several executive sessions: a 10-minute session to discuss nonelected personnel with specified staff present, an attorney–client privileged session of 10 minutes followed by an additional 5-minute attorney–client session with specific staff present, and later a 15-minute session for security and attorney–client privilege with county staff and counsel. The motions to enter executive session were moved, seconded and approved; the meeting returned to open session when those sessions elapsed.
