Floyd County Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting 08/25/2026

The Floyd County Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on August 25, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related topics were discussed. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the Electoral Board's report, highlighting the need to purchase two additional optical ballot scanners due to a new unfunded state mandate requiring machine counting of post-election ballots. The board authorized up to $15,000 to be allocated for this purchase with a cancellation clause if alternative solutions arise. Additionally, discussions included road maintenance and paving plans, with some debate over the continuation of Firehouse Road paving and the role of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDoT). The board also reviewed tourism-related tax revenues and their allocation toward school capital projects. Updates on facility maintenance projects, such as gutter and roof repairs at the landfill, were provided, along with commendations for improved animal control services and successful environmental audits. The meeting concluded with remarks on emergency management coordination and upcoming facility moves related to elections.
