Several votes were voice votes during the clerk’s roll call and voting session. For the Twilight Trail zoning ordinance, a recusal was recorded for Squire Dicus before the vote. Where specific roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the minutes, motions were announced as carried by the presiding judge following the voiced “ayes.”
These actions move forward road‑department and public‑works procurement, accept major state funding routed through KIA for sewer infrastructure, commit remaining ARPA revenue‑replacement funds to capital contingency, and implement changes in the county employee benefits package.
