The Wise County Board of Supervisors adopted a series of routine measures during its meeting, approving motions and resolutions on grant applications, ordinances, appointments and interim staffing compensation.
Key votes recorded in the meeting transcript:
• Community Development Block Grant application (Riverview water-line replacement): Approved (see separate article for details).
• Ordinance to round cash payments to the nearest five cents: The board held a public hearing and adopted the ordinance; the measure applies to cash transactions only as described during the hearing.
• Revenue-sharing agreement: The board approved a resolution to enter a revenue-sharing agreement (details of counterpart and exact monetary figures were not specified in the transcript).
• Reappointment of Jackie Johnson: The board moved and seconded a motion to reappoint Jackie Johnson to the planning district commission identified in the record as the 'Winiscoco Planning District Commission'; the motion passed by voice vote.
• Compensation for interim county administrator Karen Mullins: The board approved compensation of $2,500 per month for service as interim county administrator from January through June and authorized $5,700 per month going forward until a full-time administrator is hired, with a limit up to six months noted in the motion.
• Certification of closed session: The board approved a resolution certifying that only public business properly exempted under the law was discussed in the closed meeting.
