Item No. 48 - The Board approved the proposed response to the 2024 Grand Jury report, which addressed findings related to the 2023 winter storms.

- Purchasing over 30 new pieces of heavy machinery, including loaders and blowers.
- Establishing a county emergency response public information system.
