Outcome: approved as amended.
Notes and context: Several of these items were discussed at length in work sessions or had been the subject of prior staff briefings: the HRIS procurement followed months of vendor review; the recreation/regional planning item involves a multi-county GoCo funding process in which AGNC will act as fiscal agent; the truck-weight opposition was prompted by road, bridge and bridge-weight concerns raised by county road staff.
Where to find records: The county indicated it will post finalized ordinances, the updated fee schedule and vendor contracts (when executed) at the historic courthouse posting locations and the county27s public records sites.
