The Hocking County Board of Commissioners carried a series of routine and project actions during its Nov. 6 meeting. Most motions passed on unanimous voice vote unless a roll‑call vote was recorded. Items approved included departmental appropriation transfers, additional appropriations, the advertising of a county road bid, utility/right‑of‑way permits and a township road acceptance resolution.

Key actions (motions are summarized from the meeting record; where a specific mover/second was not named the transcript recorded a motion, a second and a voice vote of "Aye"):

- Approved approval of two sets of minutes, payment of bills and the meeting agenda. Outcome: approved by voice vote.

- Approved multiple appropriation transfers and additional appropriations across departments, including (not exhaustive): an engineer auto‑gas transfer ($20,000), 911 equipment and salaries adjustments (replacement of an air handling unit in the computer room), EMS contract services ($26,000), Dalton Kennel contract services ($10,000), treasurer payroll/operational adjustments and several transfers for commissioners’ staffing and benefits. Outcome: approved by voice vote.

- Treasurer appropriation: commissioners conducted a roll‑call vote when asked; the transcript records Commissioner Andrew Davidson as "Abstain" on one treasurer appropriation item; other commissioners voted to approve. Outcome: approved (one recorded abstention for that item).

- Authorized the county to sign and advertise the bid notice for project HOCD‑CR174‑00.30 (County Road 174). The bid notice, as read in public, referenced bid security, ODOT prequalification, prevailing wage requirements and an EDGE participation goal; commissioners authorized signature and required advertisement as provided by law. Outcome: approved by voice vote.

- Approved applications for work in the county right‑of‑way: a Spectrum underground fiber application (2,040 feet, four handholes, two risers, one road crossing) and an American Electric Power maintenance/replacement on three existing utility poles along Maysville Williams Road and Hocking Drive. Both were signed off by the county engineer. Outcome: approved by voice vote.

- Adopted a resolution accepting 3,026 feet of Huggins Road in Washington Township as meeting county standards and removing it from a Class X classification so it may be maintained as a township road; the county engineer reported the improvements were a prerequisite to lot sales by a developer. Outcome: approved by voice vote.

- Accepted the October dog‑warden monthly report (incoming/outgoing totals, investigations and citations) and the October lodging‑tax report from the lodging‑tax administrator. Outcome: reports accepted.

- Approved closing county offices on the day after Thanksgiving (Nov. 27) and moved the Nov. 27 commissioners meeting to Nov. 26 at 9:30 a.m. Outcome: approved by roll‑call voice votes (recorded affirmative votes for commissioners present on the roll call).

- Entered executive session to discuss an employee compensation matter with the county prosecutor; no public action was expected following the session. Outcome: executive session authorized.

Where the transcript listed specific procedural requirements (bid bonding, prevailing wage, ODOT prequalification), the read notice referenced the Ohio public‑works and procurement code provisions and required bidder compliance.
