The board carried the motion unanimously with five commissioners present.
The board approved an employee appreciation schedule proposed by the Employee Appreciation Committee: a Fall Fling on Oct. 20, 2023 (noon–5 p.m., Flowers Park in Plymouth) and an employee holiday meal on Dec. 15, 2023 (options for a breakfast or a lunch), and authorized closing non-essential government offices so employees may attend. Commissioner Keyes moved approval and Commissioner Tracey A. Johnson seconded; the vote was unanimous.

Spruill moved to approve the listed budget transactions; Commissioner Phelps seconded and the motion carried unanimously. Ms. Dixon provided a handout showing the initial adopted budget and subsequent changes; the board asked that the report be included monthly in the agenda package.
