The Benton County Commission confirmed an appointment to the county's Committee on Aging and filled a vacancy on the Benton County Electric System Board during its July 15 meeting.

The commission also approved Resolution 20240715-09 permitting the Benton County Board of Education to use purchasing cooperatives Volco, Buy Board, Sourcewell and TIPS, which allows the board to use pre-vetted cooperative contracts for procurement. Commissioners approved notaries as presented and then adjourned the meeting.

Motions related to agenda approval, minutes and the report of public utilities were approved earlier in the meeting by recorded votes. The actions were routine and carried by majority or unanimous recorded votes as noted in the minutes.
