The Jackson County Commissioners held a regular meeting on Tuesday, October 9, at 10 a.m., instead of on Monday, due to the Columbus Day holiday.

There were no Officers reports.

Blanket purchase orders were received from and approved for the Health Department.

The commissioners were considering a lease proposal from Advantage Office Products. They will review this again at their next meeting because they need an networkable copier.
