On the motion of Commissioner Jeff Fix and the second of Commissioner David Levacy, the Board approved the meeting minutes and an omnibus group of resolutions (roll‑call votes recorded Commissioners Jeff Fix, David Levacy and Steve Davis as voting aye).

In addition, Commissioner Steve Davis recommended appointment of Matt Claypool to the open Port Authority Board seat; Commissioners Fix and Levacy concurred during the meeting. The record notes four candidates for the vacancy and the Board thanked applicants for their willingness to serve; the transcript reports concurrence but does not record a separate roll‑call vote for the appointment.
Auditor Dr. Carri Brown told the Board she is reviewing the county’s total annual property conveyance amount and said it may have recently exceeded $1 billion in a single year; she indicated she would confirm the figure. That statement is preliminary and was not confirmed during the meeting.
All voting items recorded a unanimous affirmative vote by the three commissioners present. The Board adjourned at 9:54 a.m. and scheduled its next Regular Meeting for 9:00 a.m. on April 28, 2026, at 210 E. Main St., Lancaster.
