Union County commissioners elect Headid chairman, Joffer vice chairman and approve routine business
Summary
At a July 9 meeting in Elk Point, the Union County Board of Commissioners elected Richard Headid as chairman and Kevin Joffer as vice chairman, approved the agenda and June 28 minutes, and ratified payroll and audited claims including a $118,919.10 payroll for July 12, 2024.
The Union County Board of Commissioners elected Richard Headid as chairman and Kevin Joffer as vice chairman during its regular meeting July 9 at the county courthouse in Elk Point.
The actions came alongside routine approvals: the board approved the meeting agenda and the minutes from its June 28 session. Commissioners voted to ratify payroll scheduled for July 12, 2024, totaling $118,919.10, and a slate of audited claims covering county departments and vendors; the motion to approve claims carried.
Why it matters: leadership roles set who presides over meetings and signs county documents; approval of payroll and claims authorizes county expenditures and keeps operations funded.
Board procedure and votes: Motion to approve the agenda passed (mover: Tom Kimmel; second: [Commissioner] Dailey). Motion to approve the June 28 minutes passed (mover: Kevin Joffer; second: Dailey). A separate motion to approve claims and draws on warrants passed (mover: Tom Kimmel; second: Kevin Joffer). The record lists many individual claim amounts and vendors but does not show roll-call tallies; minutes record motions as "carried."
The meeting recessed briefly at 10:42 a.m. and resumed at 10:52 a.m. The board adjourned at 1:37 p.m. and set its next regular meeting for July 23, 2024.
