RICHLAND COUNTY BOARD DECEMBER 2024 MEETING RECAP

The Richland County Board held a special session in Olney yesterday, where several key decisions were made. The Board approved the 2025 Tax Levy with a 5-1 vote, with one member absent. They also discussed and approved a lease for the Richland County Public Building Commission to fund necessary renovations at the Courthouse. Additionally, the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget was approved as presented. In a separate vote of 5-1, the Board decided to postpone the purchase of new body and car camera systems for the Sheriff’s Department, which would have avoided a 5% price increase if made before January 1st. No executive session was held to discuss negotiations or personnel matters. The next regular meeting of the Richland County Board will take place on January 9th.
