Summary
The commission approved a long list of resolutions on June 17, 2019 — including appointments to the Board of Public Utilities, multiple small budget appropriations and transfers, notaries for June 2019, and other routine items — with several amendments and a small number of recorded dissenting votes.
At its June 17 meeting the Benton County Commission considered and approved a large slate of resolutions and routine actions listed on the published agenda.
Key outcomes included:

- Resolution 20190617-13: amended to correct a typographical error (amount revised to $1,150.00) and approved; recorded tally was 15 ayes and 1 abstain (Commissioner Rachelle Hill recorded as abstaining in the roll-call table).
- Resolution 20190617-19: approved with a recorded tally of 15 ayes and 1 nay.
- Notaries for June 2019: approved (motion by Commissioner Hern).
- The commission voted to suspend the rules of order to bring up resolutions not on the agenda (motion carried 15 ayes and 1 pass) and approved additional resolutions introduced under that suspension, including 20190617-21 through 20190617-25.
The minutes record the motions, seconds, voice votes and roll-call tallies where provided; in many cases the record notes that "all present voted aye." Where the minutes record a specific tally (for example, 15 ayes and 1 abstain on Resolution 20190617-13), the commission’s roll-call table is included in the minutes.
