With no further business, the commissioners went into a short recess before re-entering regular session and voting to go into executive session to meet with Williams County Department of Health Commissioner Jim Watkins and Dee Custar.
The purpose of the executive session was to discuss purchase or sale of property. They came out of ES 33 minutes later with no action.
With nothing further before the board that day, they adjourned.
