Floyd County supervisors on July 8 approved several votes that set immediate spending and project direction: awarding a landfill grading contract, authorizing initial construction work at the transfer station, approving courthouse and administration‑building security upgrades funded from contingency, and rescinding then adopting a corrected resolution extending enhanced hazardous‑duty benefits for emergency services and sheriff personnel.

The board handled multiple other routine items in a single meeting, including renewal of the county’s insurance pool and several budget carryover and appropriation steps. Several votes were unanimous.

The most notable financial decisions: the county awarded a grading‑plan contract for the county landfill to Lumsden & Associates for $34,000 and approved an additional construction/procurement proposal (utilities, conduit and related site work) estimated at $13,000. The board also approved a countywide security package for the courthouse and administration building totaling $14,577.08, to be taken from contingency. Separately, the board rescinded its earlier, lower‑cost action on enhanced hazardous‑duty benefits after a vendor error and adopted a corrected resolution that increased the annual cost of the program; the change raised the county’s recurring obligation by about $49,000, and supervisors authorized taking the additional amount from contingency.

Other items approved included renewing the county’s insurance risk‑pool membership, formal naming of a shared drive for a local address, approval of several departmental carryover requests into FY26, adoption of the FY26 appropriation resolution, and the appointment of Patty Quisenberry to the Floyd County Social Services Board.

The board discussed timing and budget implications before several votes. Supervisors asked staff about contingency balances and whether recently approved work could be delayed; staff said contingency and carryover made the expenditures feasible at this time.

Looking ahead, county staff said they will circulate the corrected enhanced‑duty resolution language and other documentation for recordkeeping and follow up with the vendors and agencies concerned.
