The board recorded unanimous 5–0 approvals on the following items: the consent agenda; a rezoning in the Livingston District (R25‑0001); a lease agreement with T‑Mobile Northeast LLC to colocate on the county-owned Belmont tower; two Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant applications for bicycle/pedestrian projects; and a suite of 2026 revenue‑sharing applications committing the county to local match funding for selected road and trench‑widening projects.
Key items and outcomes at a glance: - Consent agenda: Board approved routine minutes, budget adjustments, appointments, contract approvals and policy updates as listed on the consent agenda; recorded vote: 5–0. Items included the FY2026 budget appropriation, multiple contract renewals (stormwater and utilities), procurement and budget amendment policy updates, grant applications for the sheriff’s office and other housekeeping items.
