The action followed acceptance of the treasurer udit report for September 2025, which the treasurer presented as a statement of balances across 59 county accounts. The grand total of all accounts on the report was $17,697,122.56, the treasurer said.
The acceptance of the resignation and the audit report were approved by motion and second, with the commissioners voting "aye." No individual roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.
