Clay County commissioners moved through a packed agenda and approved multiple administrative actions and contracts during the meeting.

Key votes included the approval of Resolution 2024‑22, described in the packet as a budget supplement for $18,541, which was approved following a public hearing with no public comments. The board also approved a six‑month jail meals arrangement with Pizza Ranch — staff told commissioners Pizza Ranch was the lone bidder and quoted roughly $6 per meal; the county noted that contract law limits require caution for agreements over $50,000 per year. Commissioners approved an inmate‑boarding arrangement with Charles Mix County for overflow and short‑term holds, with staff characterizing that contract as an occasional operational need.

Procurement and capital items included authorization to publicize bid specifications for courthouse entryway repairs (estimated in discussion at roughly $45,000–$50,000 for both entrances, with one south‑side bid near $30,000) and approval of vouchers in two packets. The board also approved Ditch Board invoices for washed‑out pipe removal and installation and authorized the chair to sign corrected highway map documents submitted by the Federal Highway Administration/state DOT.

On planning and grants, the commission approved issuance of an RFP for river‑access and recreation planning tied to a $250,000 planning grant that requires no local match; staff said the funds would be used for planning documents and conceptual designs, not immediate capital construction.

All motions reported in the meeting transcript were moved, seconded, and carried, typically by voice vote or roll call when required. The county did not list individual roll‑call tallies in the public transcript for most motions; the official minutes and roll‑call records will be the formal record for vote counts and contract details.
