# 08-10-2026 Overton County Commission Meeting

The Overton County Commission meeting was held August 10, 2026. Commissioners approved a grant of $303,396 to purchase an L350 four-wheel-drive ambulance, with no local match required, and approved applying for opioid-settlement funds to install narcotics safes in the county’s ambulances. They also approved two reimbursement grants for the Senior Citizens Department, described as ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 per year with no match, and passed the second reading of the annual nonprofit appropriations resolution; specific appropriation totals were not stated. The commission authorized an interfund loan from debt service to cover Health Department costs while awaiting reimbursement, with one member voting no. It also approved spending related to installing a septic system and connecting water at a community center; discussion cited an estimated septic-system cost of up to $15,000 and prior project costs about $40,000 over budget, and the public raised concerns about cost oversight.

Approval of a full-year Stryker defibrillator contract for Emergency Services was postponed until the contract is received and reviewed by the county attorney; commissioners noted that one defibrillator had cost about $13,000, but no total contract amount was available. Other actions included approving speed-limit changes and road names, and receiving an update on proposed Opportunity Zones intended to attract investment. No other specific contract awards or vendor selections were identified.
