EXOS’s managed IT and cybersecurity services proposal—$55,000 per month, or about $660,000 annually—was approved with one vote opposed, contingent on County Council funding approval. Commissioners also approved a $92,333.46 CenterPoint reimbursable utility agreement for Airport Road construction, a $16,356 B&G service contract for the JC Center water-tower closed loop for 2027, and a $11,690.88 Boydcat repair for a Highway Department excavator. The board recognized a $228,263.33 Community Crossings grant, described as fully funded, and approved other accounts and service items, including a $5,312.50 Plant Legal LLC payment.

The commissioners approved several zoning and subdivision requests, including a 63-lot subdivision, and approved plans for Kelly Lake Estates Phase 2 with no street improvements. The proposed data-center overlay ordinance drew extensive public comment about infrastructure, environmental impacts, safeguards, enforcement, and public participation. No data-center project or ordinance was approved; the commissioners voted to table the ordinance for two weeks to consider public input, possible amendments, and participation by the incoming commissioner.
