The Floyd County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing and regular meeting on September 22, 2026, primarily discussing proposed amendments to the county land ordinance. The Planning Commission reviewed minor changes to clarify private driveway naming requirements, setback standards, emergency vehicle access for family subdivisions, and construction policies on discontinued roads. The commission recommended these changes to the Board of Supervisors for approval. The Board also reviewed financial matters including approval of disbursements, noting concerns about high utility costs at a fire station and monitoring fuel prices amid potential supply disruptions. They discussed equipment needs for waste management, including the potential purchase of used rolloff trucks, and approved a $400,000 E911 reimbursement grant to upgrade emergency call handling equipment to a hosted, redundant system. Additionally, the Board addressed recycling site logistics, senior programs, emergency preparedness efforts, and school capital project funding through a dedicated tax line item estimated to generate approximately $45,000 annually. Motions to approve the land ordinance amendments, disbursements, meeting minutes, and the E911 grant were passed unanimously.
