Woods County commissioners met on Monday, Nov. 10, 2025. During the meeting the board approved a transfer of appropriations to cover commissioners’ travel and discussed a proposed temporary easement, the establishment of a personal service account for emergency management, building inspection follow-ups and outreach related to federal and state funding.

Speaker 1, an unnamed Woods County official who led the meeting, introduced agenda item 13 proposing a transfer of appropriations 'from general MNO to commissioners MNO to traveling, $5,000 each' and said, 'I'll make a motion to hear that.'. A second was recorded and Speaker 2 called for a vote; the board verbally indicated support ('All in favor? Yes'). The transcript records that the motion was moved, seconded and met verbal assent, but does not include a roll-call or individual vote tallies. The minutes as recorded in the transcript do not list names paired with yes/no votes.

The board also reviewed a proposed temporary easement with Corey Brand that the transcript describes as 'for $1,200 per month'; the wording in the transcript was unclear about the total term or whether that amount is monthly or annual, and no formal motion or vote on the easement appears in the recorded segments..

Speaker 1 introduced agenda item 10, a possible action to establish a personal service account for emergency management, and speakers noted that staff (including 'Shelley') have been working on the matter. A motion to proceed was mentioned in the discussion, but the transcript does not record a subsequent formal vote on that specific agenda item in the captured segments..

On building and facilities matters, Speaker 2 reported that a recent final-panel inspection identified outstanding code-enforcement issues. An HVAC contractor was expected to return within about three days to complete remaining work, and an engineer proposed a solution after a conflict was found between a relocated electrical panel and a hot-water tank. These items were described as status updates; no final board action on the repairs is recorded in the segments..

Speaker 2 outlined outreach plans related to federal and state funds intended to help residents with barriers, proposing hand delivery of explanatory materials to a chiefs' meeting and to City Hall so the county can explain changes in funding breakdowns. Speaker 2 moved to arrange in-person delivery; a second was recorded. The segment indicates direction-setting for outreach, not an allocation of funds..

The meeting moved into new-business items (brief updates about correspondence and the sale of a practice oil machine) and then toward a recess; Speaker 1 moved to recess and reconvene in another room near the end of the recorded transcript..

What happened next: the transcript ends as the board prepared to recess to another room; the file does not include the later proceedings or roll-call vote details for the items discussed. The record contains multiple procedural motions that the board handled verbally; where the transcript does not specify vote tallies or the identities of those voting, this article notes that absence rather than inferring a roll-call record.
