Commissioner Darell Stratton earlier proposed a separate motion concerning school funding that failed for lack of support. The clerk's minutes record the vote tally and attendance; no further amendments to the levy were recorded at the meeting.
The commission's next regular meeting is scheduled for July 14, 2025, when commissioners will meet again to consider additional budget details and related items.
