Marshall County board approves Jan. 8 minutes and monthly claims
Summary
Board members approved minutes from the Jan. 8 meeting and a set of monthly claims after a brief discussion of check timing and prior approvals; interest and account balances were reported.
The Marshall County board voted unanimously to approve meeting minutes from Jan. 8, 2025, and to authorize the month's claims after a brief review of earlier check approvals and invoice timing.
Board members opened by approving the minutes. Don Ecker moved to approve the Jan. 8 minutes; Brenda Myers seconded. All voting members present—Debbie Palmer, Christopher Spear, Brenda Myers, Tom McFadden, Diane Parsons, Jay Stone and Don Ecker—voted “aye.”
The board then reviewed its financial report. Staff reported $8,919.53 in interest received last month and a reconciled balance of $22,479,009.87. The meeting packet included a claims list featuring JPR, Carson and Baker Tilly among vendors; the Baker Tilly entry was noted as $6,026. Board members asked whether a $30 check had been written; the group clarified that the check had been issued earlier but did not appear on the current report because it had been approved previously.
Diane Parsons moved to approve the claims; Don Ecker seconded. The same members who approved the minutes voted “aye,” and the motion passed.
There were no substantive changes requested to the financial materials. The board closed the meeting by unanimous vote on a motion from Brenda Myers, seconded by Jay Stone.
