An unidentified Randolph County governing body approved payroll and a series of routine claims during a short meeting that also recorded a large DNR Trails grant reimbursement being returned after the related project did not proceed.

The body approved payroll claims totaling $380,130.07 after Speaker 2 moved to pay the payroll claims and Speaker 3 seconded the motion. Two vocal 'aye' responses are recorded in the transcript following that motion.

The panel also approved regular claims totaling $928,831.94 after Speaker 2 moved to approve and Speaker 3 seconded; the transcript captures at least two affirmative 'aye' responses after the motion. A series of bond-series vendor claims were then considered and approved by vocal assent: a $1,047.95 Graphic Creating Bond Series 2025 claim; a $750 Unity Platform Bond Series 2025 claim; a $13,000 Cochran and Cochran Bond Series 2025 claim; a $70,000 Baker Tilly claim; a $51,000 Barnes and Thornburg claim; and a $19,850 S & P Global Rating Bond Series 2025 claim. The transcript registers affirmative responses after those motions, and at least one opposed vocal response was recorded during the S & P Global vote call.

A DNR Trails grant reimbursement claim for $582,868.48 was presented and approved by vocal assent. Speaker 3 noted for the record that the amount was being returned because the project did not go through and that the Department of Natural Resources (identified in the transcript as 'DNR') had pulled out of the project. The transcript records discussion clarifying that the reimbursement was a return of funds tied to a project that did not proceed.

Smaller claims approved included an Achieva Resources claim for $5,000 and a $10,000 reimbursement claim for the town of Modoc; the Modoc item drew at least one recorded affirmative response and at least one recorded vocal opposition in the transcript.

The motions in the minutes were moved, seconded and decided by voice vote as recorded in the transcript. Vote tallies above reflect explicit verbal 'aye' or 'opposed' responses captured in the transcript rather than a roll-call count. The transcript does not provide named roll-call tallies for each motion.

The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn was moved by Speaker 2 and seconded by Speaker 3; the transcript records 'aye' responses as the meeting closed.
