The Pulaski County Quorum Court on July 22, 2025, confirmed five appointments to the Highway 365 Rural Fire Protection District No. 13 board and adopted two ordinances to adjust the county budget to recognize grant and reimbursement funds, each measure approved by a 14-0 roll call vote.

The court approved Resolution 25 I 51 to confirm appointments of Harold Walls Sr., Annette Foley, Brandy White, Jewel Lowe and Robert Flowers to fill vacancies on the Highway 365 Rural Fire Protection District No. 13 board. Justice Ward moved the resolution for a “do pass” recommendation; a second was recorded on the floor. The roll call recorded 14 ayes, 0 nays, and the resolution passed.

The court then adopted Ordinance 25 I 49, described in the agenda as an amendment to the 2025 annual budget (24 OR 41 2025) to recognize and appropriate Justice for All grant funds for the Fifth Division Circuit Court. Justice Pertin moved the ordinance; after no questions, the clerk called the roll and the measure passed 14-0.

Finally, the court approved Ordinance 25 I 50, an amendment to the 2025 annual budget to recognize and appropriate reimbursement funds for the “bridal stabilization unit” as read into the record (term used in the transcript; the ordinance text did not further define the unit). Justice Kapsch moved adoption; the roll call again was 14 ayes, 0 nays, and the ordinance passed.

All three items were presented with brief discussion and no recorded opposition during debate. The clerk administered roll calls for each measure; attendance on the roll call showed 14 members present for the votes. The meeting record shows the committee on agenda items reported favorably on the related ordinances prior to the votes.

The court completed these votes with no additional conditions noted on the record. The meeting then moved on to announcements and adjournment.
