Sheriff and road/fire departments secure routine personnel and budget approvals
Summary
The board approved sheriff requests to record inmate-meal reports, allow an officer to attend academy training, accepted a fire-department $40,000 internal budget transfer for capital improvement, and authorized road-department hiring and vehicle surplus actions.
The Claiborne County Board of Supervisors approved several public-safety and personnel items on Sept. 2. When the sheriff returned to the meeting he presented the August inmate meal report and asked that certain items be spread across the minutes; the board approved recording the report. The sheriff also requested that Derek Stampley be authorized to attend Maloda Academy (a 12-week certification course from Sept. 7 through Nov. 20); the board approved the attendance and that it be spread across the minutes.
Fire Department leadership asked the board to transfer $40,000 from line item +10625918 (mobile communications over $5,000) to line item +10625908 for capital improvement; the board approved the internal transfer and asked the chief to submit the request in writing for the record.
The road department listed several vehicles for disposal and requested authorization to advertise for three replacement positions (one tractor-driver/mechanic, one tractor driver, two CDL dump-truck drivers for a total of three replacements). The board approved surplus actions and the advertised hiring plan. Later the board accepted the road manager’s recommendation for large tri-axle dump trucks and instructed staff to attach the truck descriptions to the minutes; purchase depends on pending finance approval.
All approvals were made by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
