Todd County officials approve transfers, authorize cybersecurity grant application and buy roll-off truck
Summary
Todd County leaders approved several routine financial moves — including a $100,000 transfer to ambulance operations, a transfer of dormant inmate account funds, right-of-way use for a water line on Majors Lane, and the purchase of a roll-off truck — and authorized applying for a Homeland Security cybersecurity grant with a 30% match from commissary funds.
Todd County officials met to hear routine reports and approved several administrative actions including budget transfers, a procurement and permission to apply for a state cybersecurity grant.
Speaker 2 (role/title: not specified) led the meeting and moved to transfer $100,000 into the county ambulance operating account to cover this month’s expenses; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. "So needed to approve the transfer of a hundred thousand," Speaker 2 said when presenting the request.
In the jail report, Speaker 7 (role/title: not specified) told the meeting that the Todd County detention center held 101 inmates — 34 county and 67 state — and listed recent receipts including $3,607.68 from a state contract, $6,983.08 in local correctional facility assistance funds, and $8,642 from House Bill 556 for educational programming. Speaker 7 introduced a new chief deputy who began in August and requested permission to move funds from an inactive inmate account into the main detention account under KRS 441.137 procedures; the court moved and approved that transfer. "We would like to move those funds to the account or select the KRS 441.137," Speaker 7 said when explaining the request.
Speaker 7 also asked the court to authorize the county’s application for a state and local cybersecurity grant administered by the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security. The grant requires a 30% match; Speaker 7 proposed using commissary funds to meet that match rather than taxpayer dollars. The court granted permission to apply.
Emergency management staff and county officials discussed amended payment terms from a vendor called Table Rock; staff noted that the original contract did not specify installment or prepaid terms and reviewed a proposed payment schedule that includes a payment prior to shipment, 40% on delivery, and a final payment on testing and completion. The court moved to accept the payment terms and allow billing to proceed.
On roads and equipment, Speaker 5 reported continuing problems with an aging 1993 road grader and said staff will search for replacements and arrange inspections. Separately, the court approved a request from the water district to use county right-of-way on Majors Lane (off Miller Bennett) for an extension of water service along rural roads.
On procurement, Speaker 2 described an available used roll-off (Volvo) truck as a limited opportunity and moved to purchase it; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The transcript contains inconsistent or unclear price and mileage figures for the truck; the purchase was approved as presented.
Votes at a glance: the court approved a $100,000 transfer to ambulance operations; approved moving dormant inmate account funds into the detention center account under KRS 441.137; authorized application for a Kentucky Office of Homeland Security cybersecurity grant with a proposed 30% match from commissary funds; approved right-of-way use on Majors Lane for a water line; accepted Table Rock’s payment terms for an emergency management contract; and approved purchase of a roll-off truck (price/mileage not clearly stated on the record).
The meeting concluded with Speaker 2 congratulating the High County High School boys soccer team on a district win; the court then adjourned.
