The Brimfield Township Board of Trustees took a series of routine and substantive votes during the meeting. Key outcomes recorded by roll call or motion include:

- Acceptance of the agenda for the meeting (passed by motion and roll call).
- Acceptance of purchase orders and warrants as presented (motions passed; on at least one vote Trustee Mike recorded an abstention and the other trustees voted yes).
