The court approved three bill packets totaling more than $175,000 each (receipt register and payables) and recurring expenses, authorized purchase of a Tundra for the sheriff from a restricted award account, and approved budget adjustments moving $1,000 for a survey and $15,000 from surplus into capital to cover the vehicle expense.

Speaker 5 presented the county’s bill packets: a receipt register totaling $175,290.14 (which the transcript lists as including a $45,000 item to Ibex Digital and an item for National Geographic Traveler advertising), payables without purchase orders totaling $175,065.17 (including the purchase of a Toyota Tundra for the sheriff paid from a restricted award account), and recurring expenses listed in the packet. Speaker 5 moved to approve the packet and commissioners approved the payments by voice vote.
