Summary
The Warren County Commissioners voted to hold a $2,000 fine in abeyance pending compliance in a property nuisance case and approved a $25,627.57 server and licensing purchase included in this year's budget. Both actions were taken by voice vote; individual recorded tallies were not entered in the minutes.
Warren County Commissioners voted to increase the enforcement amount held in reserve for an ongoing property nuisance matter to $2,000 and approved the county's planned server and licensing replacement, officials said during the meeting.
The commissioners agreed to place an additional $2,000 in reserve tied to the property matter and to give the property owner two weeks to show compliance, while an earlier $1,000 fine remains imposed. "Raise it to 2,000 and give her 2 weeks," said a commissioner during the discussion; another commissioner seconded the motion and commissioners responded with voice votes in the affirmative. The board directed staff to send the property owner a letter describing the two-week compliance period.
On technology, commissioners approved a planned server-refresh purchase of $25,627.57 that was already included in the county's budget for technology upgrades. A staff member said the amount includes licensing and ongoing email support for towns served by the county. "This is actually in the budget, and this was discussed at the budget meetings last year," a staff member said. The commission moved and approved the purchase by voice vote.
Both items were taken by voice vote; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally for individual members. The meeting also contained other routine voice motions, including approval to move on to other agenda items and an adjournment motion.
The board did not record a roll-call vote for either motion in the meeting transcript; meeting notes indicate each motion passed by voice vote.
