The Boone County Commission reappointed Wendy McMahon to the Boone County Convention and Visitors Bureau and ratified several claims and payments during the meeting.

The reappointment: Commissioner (speaker 2) moved to reappoint Wendy McMahon to the Convention and Visitors Bureau; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote with no opposing votes recorded. The county clerk noted the seat is a commissioner appointment.

Claims and ratifications: County staff presented three claims to ratify as prior expenditures related to a jail project: Veritas, $41,514; Magic Technology Solutions, $63,993 for IT network systems equipment; and GM Development Companies, $1,423,700 and $29.12 (listed in the transcript as two numbers). The staff said these charges come from the jail bond. The commission moved to ratify those claims and approved them by voice vote.

New claims: The commission approved four new claims for repairs and equipment charged to the jail bond for vendor Derek Paradis: $39,519 to replace existing fire sprinklers; $6,553 for kitchen and infirmary cameras; $3,130 for tile epoxy flooring; and $3,565 for key sets and locks. Staff said the items were charged to the jail bond. The motion to approve the claims passed by voice vote.

Other approvals: Commissioners approved a larger batch of routine claims including payroll and prepaid maintenance; the meeting record shows the motion carried by voice vote.

Why it matters: Several high-dollar items were charged to the jail bond during this meeting; commissioners ratified prior vendor payments and authorized additional work funded from that bond. The reappointment restores Wendy McMahon to the county’s Convention and Visitors Bureau roster.

No further public debate was recorded on the listed claims or the appointment. The vote on the appointment and the claims was recorded as voice approvals with no opposed votes noted in the transcript.
