Gage County Board of Equalization approves agenda and prior minutes in brief session

The Gage County Board of Equalization convened at 8:31 a.m. and quickly moved through routine business, approving the meeting agenda and the minutes from the previous meeting by unanimous voice votes.

The presiding officer called the meeting to order and noted the Open Meetings Act was posted in the room. The board recorded attendance of Adams, Clabaugh, Haxby and Dorn. The presiding officer then asked for a motion to approve the agenda "as presented." A motion was recorded as "Moved by Claybaugh, second by Adams," and the presiding officer reported "4 in favor," approving the agenda.

The board followed with a motion to approve the prior meeting minutes. That motion was recorded similarly as "Motion by Claybaugh, second by Adams," and the presiding officer again reported a unanimous voice vote of "4 in favor," approving the minutes.

The presiding officer opened the floor for public comments and future agenda items for equalization, asking specifically whether Patty had any items; the response was "Nope." A short, informal exchange about weather and call volume followed, but no substantive public testimony or requests were recorded.

With no further business, the presiding officer adjourned the meeting at 8:34 a.m. The brief session lasted approximately three minutes.
