The board approved routine consent items on April 6 including tax release/refund reports, vehicle refunds, disposal of EMS records, a revision to opioid fund allocations to move a PORT vehicle into Recovery Support Services, Edifice pre-construction services for a bus garage, and a $270,000 architect fee for HHS renovations.

At its April 6 special meeting, the Henderson County Board of Commissioners approved the consent agenda containing multiple routine financial, personnel and project-related items.
