At its April 7, 2025 regular meeting, the Union County Board of Commissioners recorded several formal actions summarized below.
• Consent agenda (as amended): The board approved the consent agenda after pulling item 25‑205 (autopsy expenditures) for discussion. Motion to approve the consent agenda as amended was made and passed by voice vote.
