Summary

The commission adopted a consent agenda that included reclassification of Keith Avery to full-time deputy, advertising for a commission clerk, and a $100,000 courthouse fund transfer earmarked for asbestos mitigation; separate approval was given to Thompson Tractor invoices after a commissioner disclosed a family connection.

Chair Williams read items on the consent agenda and asked for approval; the board approved the consent agenda unanimously. Items listed in the consent action included approval of minutes (July 28), the claims list for Aug. 11, the sheriff-approved reclassification of Keith Avery to full-time deputy, authorization to advertise for a commission clerk position, permission for the Auburn extension office to use vacated space, and a budget amendment moving $100,000 into a courthouse fund earmarked for asbestos mitigation.

Later on the agenda the commission approved invoices from Thompson Tractor by voice vote. Commissioner Childress disclosed a potential conflict, stating, "I have family work for Thompson." The disclosure was entered into the record; the transcript does not show a recusal or abstention associated with the Thompson Tractor vote.
