Routine business for county board

The Franklin County Board made quick work of the items on their agenda Tuesday night in Benton.
The lengthiest portion of the meeting came with a nearly hour long executive session.  No action was taken following the return to the open meeting.
The board accepted, with regret, the letter of resignation of Tom Vaughn from the Franklin Hospital Board of trustees. Vaughn is to be seated in December as a member of the Franklin County Board itself.  Serving on both boards would be a conflict of interest. No replacement was ready to be voted on Tuesday.
The Board approved travel requests from the county sheriff’s department the highway department and the treasurer’s office.
An intergovernmental agreement between the county and the village of Royalton was tabled.
The County is to offer for bids a 1985 bucket truck used by the highway department.
The next County Board meeting will be held November 20th, at 6pm
