Montgomery County commissioners approve consent agenda including audit contract, park improvements and appointments

Montgomery County commissioners approved a multi-item consent agenda during their April 15, 2025, meeting, the county manager said.

Frankie, speaking as county manager, read the consent agenda aloud and listed the items approved: minutes from the March 3 and March 18 meetings; a fiscal year 2024–25 audit contract; a change in the use of recreation support funding to pay for improvements to tennis and basketball courts at Deepen Road Park in the town of Biscoe; a revised Montgomery County Technology Policy resolution honoring public power line workers during line-worker appreciation days; the reappointment of Wayne Wooten to the ABC board; the appointment of Kaye Robinson to the Health Advisory Committee and to the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council; and the registered deeds report.

A motion to approve the consent agenda was made by Chip and seconded by Mr. Tedder; the chair indicated the motion carried by voice. The transcript does not include a roll-call or a numerical tally for those votes.

Frankie also reported there were no action items scheduled in the county manager's report and offered to answer any questions about the standard departmental reports submitted with the agenda packet.

The meeting included a moment of silence to honor Commissioner George Knight of District 3, who had died recently and was buried with military honors in Salisbury. Speakers recalled Knight’s frequent requests for certain infrastructure improvements, including fire hydrants in the Springdale Heights area.

The board moved to adjourn near the end of the provided transcript; Shaw seconded the motion to adjourn. The transcript ends immediately after the motion and second with no formal roll-call or closing verbatim included in the supplied segments.
