Commissioners approved several measures unanimously: authorization to pursue courthouse door/fire-alarm work (staff to obtain final Siemens integration quotes), a Riverboat-funded computer purchase cap, permission to advertise a $250,000 chip-and-seal appropriation, and a $56,735.74 health-department carryover appropriation; multiple other administrative appropriations were acknowledged.
At the Ohio County meeting the commission recorded several formal actions and unanimous votes on administrative and budget matters. Summary of recorded votes and outcomes:

- Computer purchases: Motion to authorize Riverboat-funded purchase of replacement computers/software with a not-to-exceed cap (record in discussion at $1,500 per computer or a $1,500 cap as recorded; commissioners set a capped amount and directed staff to purchase subject to that limit). Outcome: approved unanimously.
- Chip-and-seal advertising/appropriation: Motion to advertise/proceed on a $250,000 chip-and-seal appropriation from a restricted MBH account for road surface work. Outcome: approved unanimously.
