At a glance: Floyd County board approves disbursements, minutes, two road namings and two reappointments
Summary
The Board approved routine financial and minutes items, named two private driveways, and reappointed representatives to regional bodies; a previously adopted burn ban remained in effect after discussion.
Floyd County supervisors on May 20 approved routine financial and minutes items, adopted two street names for private drives, and reappointed two local representatives to regional boards. Board members also confirmed the county’s burn ban remains in effect after a review of current conditions and public concerns.
On routine business the board approved the day’s disbursements and the draft minutes from the prior meeting. The motion to approve disbursements passed by roll call with recorded affirmative votes from supervisors present.
Naming decisions: The board voted 4–1 to name a private drive off Haycock Road as “Haycock Acres Drive” (tax map IDs provided on the agenda). One supervisor recorded a “no” vote citing concern about name similarity with other local names. The motion carried, 4–1. The board also approved naming another private drive “Meadow Hill Drive” by unanimous roll call.
Reappointments: The board reappointed Linda Millsaps as the county’s public official representative to the Onward (regional economic development) board of directors for a two‑year term effective July 1, 2025; that motion passed on roll call with all supervisors voting yes. The board also reappointed Klein Hall to the Uniform Statewide Building Code local board of appeals for a four‑year term effective July 1, 2025, by unanimous roll call.
Burn ban: During old business supervisors revisited the countywide burn ban. Multiple supervisors and staff described ongoing dry conditions and variable winds; one supervisor said they were “not comfortable lifting the burn ban” and the board did not adopt any motion to change the ordinance. For the record, the board noted the existing burn ban remains in force until it either expires or the board votes to modify it.
Administrative notes: The board accepted staff’s request to place corridor‑security and procedural follow‑up items on future agendas and asked county staff to prioritize outreach to residents affected by the addressing ordinance the board adopted earlier in the meeting.
Ending: Supervisors adjourned after routine closing business; staff said they will prepare the addressing ordinance procedures and the draft resolution on the six‑year road plan for consideration at an upcoming meeting.
