At its Jan. 2 meeting, the Richland County Public Safety Standing Committee took several routine votes; the committee recorded voice approvals for motions listed below.

- Approval of the Jan. 2 agenda: Motion moved by Tiffany and seconded by Severson; approved by voice vote.

- Approval of the minutes from Dec. 5, 2025: Motion moved (thanked Tiffany), seconded and approved by voice vote.

- Resolution commemorating the service of "Christian" to the Richland County Sheriff's Office: Motion to approve was made by Supervisor Stevenson and seconded by Tiffany; the committee approved the resolution and will forward it to the county board.

- Amendment to the minutes of Nov. 7, 2025: A member noted a typographical date error ("September" should read "November"); the committee moved, seconded and approved an amendment so the corrected minutes can be posted.

Notes on procedure: All recorded approvals were taken by voice; specific roll-call tallies (yes/no/abstain) were not provided in the meeting transcript for these items. Where a mover or seconder was stated in the record, it is noted above; otherwise the transcript records a voice approval without named tallies.

What’s next: The resolution honoring Christian will be forwarded to the full county board for final action; corrected minutes will be posted with the right date.
