Votes at a glance: Saline County approves minutes, transportation grant resolution, budget amendment and interlocal agreement amendment

Saline County’s court took several procedural and legislative actions at the meeting, approving minutes, a transportation grant resolution and two ordinances.

The court approved the minutes from the July meeting by voice vote after a motion; a motion and second for approval were recorded in the meeting transcript. The clerk then read and the court passed a resolution expressing the county’s willingness to utilize the Federal Aid Surface Transportation Block Grant program (Exhibit B). Justice Engel moved the resolution and Justice Billingsley seconded; the court voted by voice and the chair recorded no opposition.

The court next moved and passed an ordinance amending the 2025 county budget (Exhibit C, Ordinance 2025-13). Justice Whitley moved the ordinance and Justice Krausson seconded; the court held a roll-call vote with recorded affirmative votes and one member absent. Finally, the court approved an emergency ordinance described as the second amendment to an interlocal cooperation agreement (Exhibit D, Emergency Ordinance 2025-14). The motion to read by title only was made by Justice Curtis and seconded by Justice Billingsley; a roll-call vote followed and the ordinance passed.

Specific vote tallies available in the meeting record show roll-call “yes” votes for the ordinances and a stated absence for one member. The transcript does not provide department-level implementation details for the budget amendment or the interlocal agreement amendment.
