The Benton County Board of Commissioners opened its Oct. 8 meeting and approved minutes from the July 9, 2025 meeting.

At the start of the session an attendee moved to approve the July minutes and another commissioner seconded the motion. The chair called for the vote and members responded "Aye," recording two affirmative votes to adopt the minutes.

The approval was procedural and required no further action. The board then proceeded to scheduled reports from Natural Areas, Parks & Events and Public Works.
