Finance Director Jill asked the Douglas County Board to approve payment of bills totaling $944,015.27; after a motion and second, the board approved payment on a roll call vote.

Following the bills item, commissioners summarized their recent meetings and per diem claims dating back to November and December; a motion to approve all per diems was made, seconded and carried on the board's roll call.

The approvals were procedural: the board authorized payment of the items presented and approved routine per diem reimbursements for recent official meetings and conferences. No board member requested changes to the bills or per diem claims during the meeting.

Next steps: county finance staff will process payments and per diem reimbursements as authorized.
