- Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned by voice vote.
Where available, meeting discussion provided context for votes: the audit authorization followed a public dispute between the sheriff and commissioners over staffing and resource allocation; the festival permit was approved after staff said paperwork was complete. Individual roll‑call tallies were not read into the record; the minutes reflect voice votes recorded in the meeting transcript.
