Floyd County Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting 07/14/2026

The Floyd County Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on July 14, 2026, where they discussed various county matters including road maintenance projects, school facility improvements, and vehicle procurement for the sheriff's office. Key procurement-related topics included the approval of a proposal for environmental services for fiscal year 2027 and a detailed discussion on the sheriff's office vehicle budget. The sheriff's office requested an increase in the vehicle budget from $85,000 to $160,000 due to rising vehicle and equipment costs, with concerns raised about maintaining a safe and reliable fleet. The board noted that the additional funding was moved to contingency pending further review and potential RFPs. Additionally, the board approved a resolution to seek a local sales tax referendum of up to 1% to fund school capital projects, with clarifications that the tax would exclude food and medicine and apply only to county sales tax. Other discussions included updates on land division ordinance reviews and infrastructure projects such as road paving and drainage improvements. Motions were passed to approve the environmental services proposal and the fiscal year 2027 budget resolution. Overall, the meeting focused on budget allocations, capital improvement planning, and procurement decisions impacting county operations and public safety.
