Votes at a glance: payroll approval, grader purchase and two plats accepted by Franklin County Commission
At its Oct. 29 meeting the Franklin County Commission recorded several formal actions: approval of a payroll period, authorization to purchase two motor graders and acceptance of two plats.

Payroll and consent: The commission approved the consent agenda, which included approval of payroll for Sept. 21–Oct. 20. The figure read into the record was "$1,000,492,655 and 70¢" as spoken during the meeting; the record shows the commission motioned, and roll-call votes were recorded as "yes." The meeting transcript does not include additional line-item detail for the payroll beyond the figure read aloud.

Grader purchase: The commission approved purchase of two Caterpillar 140 all-wheel-drive motor graders for $639,888 after trade-in. The motion passed with recorded "yes" votes from the commissioners present.

Plat acceptances: The commission accepted dedications and authorized the chair to endorse the final plat for a small subdivision involving property at 225 Megan Lane (south of Funtown RV on K-68). Staff and the planning commission recommended approval; commissioners voted to accept the dedications and authorize chair signature. The commission also approved a split for the Horner Farms parcel commonly identified as 134 Haskell; staff and planning recommended approval and commissioners voted yes.

Each of the foregoing motions passed by recorded roll call; no failed votes were recorded in the meeting minutes provided. For items where exact mover or seconder names were not clearly captured in the audio transcript, the record shows motions and recorded roll-call approval by the commissioners present.
