The Adams County Board of Supervisors opened its January meeting by electing board leadership and confirming a slate of county appointments before moving to routine business and contract approvals.

In the organizational portion of the meeting the board closed nominations and confirmed a president and vice president by voice vote. The board then approved several county appointments by motion, including Scott as board attorney, Missy Khan as county administrator, Shaquille Martin as controller, Robert Dahlberg as county road manager and George Ford as county engineer.

The board approved December meeting minutes after a member noted a correction and then voted to accept monthly financial reports covering the sheriff’s office, clerk’s office and purchase reports.

On contracts and procurement the board accepted the State Treasurer’s recommendation to designate Concordia Bank as the county depository for calendar years 2026–2029 and authorized the board president to sign reimbursement requests and required fiscal‑recovery acknowledgement forms. The board also approved a pay application for a final earthwork pay request and authorized execution of a construction contract for Carthage Sworn Road stabilization.

Votes on these procedural items were taken by motion and the record shows motions were moved and seconded with outcomes noted in the meeting minutes as “motion carried” where recorded.

The meeting closed routine business with the board approving several departmental travel and personnel items and directing staff to follow up on outstanding procurement and contract paperwork.

The board president said staff will present contracts and award documents for formal signature and return to the board for any remaining ratification steps.
