Here’s the agenda. 2/

There were 12 people in attendance, the usual, people from sheriff’s office, EMS, reporters, tax office, etc. New was someone from WTRF 7 News and someone from the Wellness Committee. 3/

As is usual, commissioners mumbled throughout the meeting, and were hard to hear over a fan in the background.

Fiduciary Matters- 9- approved en bloc, not read.
Exonerations- 36- approved en bloc, not read. 5/
