Board approves block of resolutions; two abstentions recorded on one item
Summary
The Board adopted resolutions 2026-194 through 2026-260 in a block vote; the record shows unanimous affirmative votes on most items and two abstentions recorded on resolution 2026-209 (7 yes, 2 abstentions).
The Union County Board of County Commissioners moved to adopt resolutions numbered 2026-194 through 2026-260 as a block. The clerk recorded affirmative votes on the resolutions with the following note: the block passed with nine affirmative votes except for resolution 2026-209, which was recorded as having seven affirmative votes and two abstentions (Commissioner Mirabella and the chairman).
During public comment, resident Bruce Patterson asked for explanations of several agenda items mentioned in the resolutions, including an increase to Fletcher Creamer27s contract for Ashbrook restoration (Reso 197), contracts for Colliers Engineering related to boiler and environmental work (Reso 200, 203 and 204), use of American Rescue Plan funds for a grant program (Reso 215), a collective bargaining agreement (Reso 229), and an amended lease for the Westminster Building (Reso 232).
County Manager Ed Oatman responded to several points from the public record: he said the Ashbrook clubhouse work is the subject of active litigation and that related costs are being tracked; he described the Colliers contracts as funding phased boiler work and on-call environmental engineering to address asbestos and lead paint in older buildings; he said the ARPA and HOME funds have distinct allowable uses; and he confirmed the county plans to move out of the Westminster Building into the new government complex in April 2024.
The clerk27s roll-call entry summarizing the votes read: nine votes in the affirmative for all resolutions except for 2026-209, which recorded seven yes votes and two abstentions. The meeting record did not include roll-call tallies for each numbered resolution beyond that summary.
What this means: the board approved the listed resolutions as a block; staff and the county manager addressed public questions about specific contracts and funding sources raised during public comment. For details on any particular resolution, the county clerk27s office or posted agenda materials should be consulted.
