At its April 1 meeting the Columbia County Board of Commissioners approved a consent agenda that included routine financial and administrative items, event permits and several OLCC special-event license applications.
Items approved on the consent calendar included payroll for March 25, 2026; a personnel action for Riley Baker effective April 1, 2026; approval of the Columbia Century Challenge road event permit scheduled for June 13, 2026; and multiple OLCC special-event license applications for the Wigwam Tavern’s River City Speedway events on dates in April and May 2026.
