Franklin County commissioners moved through a short consent-heavy agenda and approved a series of routine commission orders, including a right-of-way property purchase, the acceptance of a committee resignation, a surplus-equipment declaration, a one-year renewal of the countys health-insurance claims-administration agreement, and the inclusion of the Washington Community Fire Protection Districts 2025 financial statements on the consent agenda.

The purchases and approvals were approved by voice vote with commissioners saying "Aye"; the transcript records motions and seconds but does not provide a roll-call or numeric vote tally.
