This itemized summary lists the formal motions and outcomes recorded during the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners meeting.
- Consent agenda: Motion to approve the consent agenda (with removal of item E1) was made and seconded; the board approved the consent agenda by voice/hand raise.
- Sales-tax distribution amendment (Item 4a): Motion to approve amendment to the interlocal sales-tax distribution agreement and authorize the chairman to sign it once all municipalities finalize signatures. Motion carried; the board voted in favor (all in favor raised hands).
- Employee health-center provider (Item 4b): A motion by Commissioner Marshall Adams to award a three-year contract to the county's provider failed for lack of a second. The board later voted to carry or continue the item to the May 19 meeting for further consideration; that continuance passed on the dais.

- Adjournment: Motion to adjourn passed.
Clerk/Attorney note in meeting: County counsel and clerk advised that, given questions on vote tallies and process, some appointment votes could be revisited at the May 19 meeting; minutes and final, executed documents will reflect any necessary corrections.
