The Jefferson County Board of Supervisors voted on a series of routine items and asked staff to pursue several grant and administrative follow-ups at its Nov. 17 meeting.

The board first approved a motion to acknowledge the minutes from the prior session and then cleared an erroneous $242 tax assessment on parcel 1002101001 owned by Jefferson County Conservation after staff explained a software transfer error. "There should not have been taxes on this property," staff member Steve told the board; supervisors voted to update the tax records.

Supervisors moved to allow a landowner to apply for grant funds for a proposed "Rotary Dam" on Quince Boulevard that would create a water-retention pond requiring temporary road closure during construction. Staff said the county will need engineered plans for formal approval and that the $50,000 grant would not guarantee construction. A motion to proceed with the grant application was seconded and approved.

A minor subdivision that split a 40-acre parcel to create a legal lot for a mobile home was approved after staff explained the parcel crossed quarter-section lines. The board also authorized payment of an outstanding RSM invoice tied to an audit for Jackson Point housing after confirming the audit commission and prior authorization.

Other votes included authorizing the chair to sign a nonfinancial letter of support for an ISAC amicus brief and approving claims and reports totaling $187,087.70. Multiple items were approved by voice vote; board minutes record "ayes" but do not list roll-call tallies in the transcript.

Board members directed staff to return with additional documentation where needed, such as engineered plans for the Quince Boulevard pond and bylaws and signatory procedures for Jackson Point-related transactions. The board also set administrative next steps for scheduling a safety-training session and for follow-up on pending bills and grant paperwork.

The board adjourned after announcing upcoming meetings including an opioid work session and a public health board meeting.
