Fiscal Court Meeting - November 10, 2026

The Hardin County Fiscal Court meeting on November 10, 2026 included department reports and unanimous approval of the consent agenda. Resolution 177 provided $50,000 annually in opioid funding for the Hardin County Drug Court and Sheriff’s Office support. The court also approved funding for emergency drainage-structure repairs on Hoover Hollow Road: the project was estimated at more than $45,000, with $36,400 (80%) covered by a state emergency fund; the transcript did not clearly state the remaining share. No vendor selection or contract award was identified.

The Road Department reported completing 8.5 miles of work on West Creek and Upton roads, using 8,526 tons of asphalt through the state’s flex-funding program; the reported total cost was garbled in the transcript. Other reports covered planning activity, permits, solid-waste and code-enforcement operations, and road maintenance. The court also recognized the retirement of senior engineer Mark Abshire, but no hiring or related procurement action was discussed.
