Siren installations complete; county begins records scanning and hears tax and jail reports

Officials gave several operational updates during the meeting.

Public safety: an official reported all 14 outdoor sirens are installed and that final programming remains; full‑scale testing was expected next week and the final invoice had been submitted.

Records: the court heard that US Imaging started scanning county records into the records room to digitize documents (records, mortgages, encumbrances). The vendor was scheduled to work today and over the next two days to complete portions of the job.

Finance: a staff member provided a tax collections summary, reporting year‑to‑date collections of $6,054,553.72 against an assessed total cited in discussion; staff noted remaining collections still due. The jailer reported the facility held 100 inmates from 33 counties and listed additional receipts totaling small amounts (e.g., an extra $79 and $1,116.62 in miscellaneous items).

Appointments and community events: the court reviewed appointments with terms noted into December 2027, discussed supporting the city’s holiday parade and noted Veterans Day programming at the high school.

These items were informational updates in the transcript excerpt; no formal votes or binding decisions on these operational items were recorded there.
