Carroll County supervisors approve payables, Region 12 ordinances contract and accept manure updates

At a regular meeting, the Carroll County Board of Supervisors approved a series of routine actions including payables totaling $197,374.58, formal authorization to sign a $3,000 contract with Region 12 for a review of the county code of ordinances, and acknowledgement of two manure-management annual updates.

A supervisor moved and a second carried the motion to approve payables in the amount of $197,374.58 after staff answered questions about several line items. County staff (identified in discussion as Emily and Courtney) provided supporting detail and the board agreed to review credit‑card procedures during the budget process; supervisors said future card use may require itemized receipts or preapproval.

The board also approved entering the Region 12 contract that will allow Region 12 to review Carroll County’s ordinances for $3,000, with a supervisor describing it as "$3,000 well spent." The motion to sign the contract carried.

Two annual manure-management updates were filed with the board for local operations described as: Woodford 753, Section 24, Wheatland Township (crop rotation/optimum yields change) and Bill Smith, Section 4, Sheridan Township (four‑year plan). The board accepted those updates as filings; no regulatory action or vote beyond acceptance was recorded.

Other procedural actions included approval of the agenda (with removal of a plat listed as item 3 because it was not ready) and approval of the December minutes. The board also conducted committee reports and scheduled upcoming agenda items: Soil and Water and the Animal Rescue League will appear for funding requests at the next meeting of appointments.

Motions and outcomes recorded at the meeting (no roll-call vote names provided) were carried by voice vote. The board did not record names for all movers and seconders in the transcript.
