Henry County Commission approves routine consent items and minutes, adds Colburn bid opening
Summary
The Henry County Commission approved meeting minutes, accepted consent items including a funding request tied to a Clayton lighting project, and added a Colburn/Colbert bid opening to the agenda; several administrative and assessor-related application issues were discussed.
The Henry County Commission met Jan. 8, 2026, at the Henry County Courthouse and approved routine business including the Jan. 6 minutes and closed-session minutes while adding a bid opening for Colburn/Colbert procurement to the agenda. The commission chair called the meeting to order at 9 a.m., and members proceeded with consent items.
Commissioner Mark Larson reported attending a City of Clayton council meeting to request county funds for a downtown square lighting project and moved to approve county funding; Commissioner Stone seconded the motion. The motion was recorded in the transcript with the funding amount listed as "$13." The transcript appears to contain a truncated or incomplete figure; the county clerk’s office should be consulted for the official dollar amount and documentation.
The clerk added a bid-opening item for the Colburn/Colbert bids; staff said the bid notice had been published and the commission set timing to allow adequate notice between publication and opening. The commission also approved the Jan. 6 minutes and the closed minutes by voice vote; members answered "aye" on the record and the motions carried.
The meeting included several routine administrative updates — election preparations for April and August, records handling and copying for applications, and staff logistics — and concluded with an adjournment motion. The commission scheduled its next regular meeting for Thursday.
