Under personnel business, the board approved a part‑time deputy sheriff’s transfer to full‑time in the sheriff’s department effective April 7, 2025; separations and retirements included a court staff attorney (effective March 28, 2025) and a deputy sheriff (effective April 4, 2025). The board accepted the personnel changes as presented.

In old business commissioners ratified continuation of the Child Accounting and Profile System (CWIS) maintenance agreement for fiscal year 2025‑26; the agreement was described in the meeting as previously vetted by the county solicitor and a continuation of existing services.

The board also considered several CYS purchase‑of‑service renewals. The meeting record shows approval of an addendum to Sinclair’s fiscal year 2024‑25 contract with CYS for the Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program (DAPP) services and approval of a purchase‑of‑service agreement with Paratech Home Health Associates LLC doing business as Angels of Care Pediatric Home Health Services, as part of routine provider contract renewals.

Dennis Bancuso of the Mature Resources Area Agency on Aging Volunteer Center asked the commissioners to sign a proclamation recognizing April as National Volunteer Month, noting the month "is an opportunity to acknowledge the countless individuals who devote their time and energy to serve this community." The board read the proclamation into the record and approved it.

Ending: Commissioners closed the regular meeting after handling routine fiscal, personnel and contract matters and issuing the volunteer appreciation proclamation. Several items were described as continuations of existing contracts or routine renewals; the record identifies the CWIS maintenance as a solicitor‑reviewed continuation of services.
