Commissioners recess to finalize numbers, return and adjourn

May 23, 2025

Faced with a narrow percentage gap, commissioners recessed so the county could "do the math," resumed and agreed to split the remaining difference, then moved to adjourn; both recess and adjourn motions passed by voice vote in the transcript.

The full story

With offers and counteroffers circulating, Committee member S2 moved for a recess so county staff could confirm calculations; S7 seconded the motion and the board recessed at voice vote. After briefly caucusing, the board reconvened and participants discussed splitting the remaining 1% difference (producing a compromise around 73.5/26.5). A subsequent motion to adjourn was moved (S7) and seconded (S9) and passed by voice vote.
