The Clay County Board of Commissioners took a series of routine votes during the meeting; key outcomes recorded in the transcript follow.
Approvals and personnel
- Agenda: Motion to approve the meeting agenda was moved by Commissioner Bair and seconded by Commissioner Ebinger; the motion carried.
- Payment of bills and vouchers: A motion to approve payments was offered (mover recorded as "commissioner crowd off") and seconded ("commissioner avenger"); the motion carried.
- Minutes: The board approved the Nov. 18, 2025 meeting minutes on a motion from Commissioner Ebbinger with a second from Commissioner Bair.
- Personnel: The board voted to fill a vacant general maintenance technician position after a facilities presentation; the motion carried and a backfill was permitted if needed.
Appointments and procurement
- Planning commission: The board reappointed Ashley Hane to a second term following a recommendation by Planning and Zoning Director Matt Jacobson; the motion carried.
- Food services RFP: The board approved posting an RFP for food service contracts with three bid tiers (juvenile center, correctional facility, detox) and discussed that the juvenile center portion must comply with the National School Lunch Program and that contracts will be one year with up to four one‑year renewals.
Local road improvement (L‑RIP) support
- Dilworth: The board voted to approve a supporting resolution (transcript reference resolution 25‑2025‑36) for Dilworth’s L‑RIP application to construct and pave specified streets; because Dilworth is a non‑state‑aid city the county’s sponsorship is required.
- Holly: The board voted to approve a supporting resolution (transcript reference resolution 25‑2025‑37) for Holly’s L‑RIP application; speakers explained the state‑aid city threshold (population 5,000) and its implications for future eligibility.
Vote context: The transcript records all listed motions as carried (ayes recorded). Where mover/second names in the transcript are unclear or recorded in shorthand, this summary reproduces the names exactly as spoken on the record. The meeting did not record objections that changed any of these outcomes.
What’s next: Routine minutes and contract posting actions will proceed according to county procedures; staff will follow up on any contractual or budgetary steps needed to implement the approved items.
