Henry County Council signs previously approved sheriff residency-pay ordinance and appoints Nancy Cook to the library board
Summary
Council acknowledged signing a previously approved ordinance changing who qualifies for sheriff residency pay, and unanimously approved Nancy Cook’s appointment to the Henry County public library board.
The Henry County Council used part of its final 2025 meeting to complete routine administrative business, signing a previously approved ordinance and approving a library board appointment.
Council members confirmed the residency-pay ordinance for the sheriff’s department — which had been voted on at the prior meeting — only required signatures at this session and no new vote. The change clarifies that the chief deputy, if previously a merit deputy, is eligible to receive residency pay under the ordinance language drafted by council staff.
The council also considered a library-board appointment. A motion to appoint Nancy Cook to the public library board was moved and seconded; council members approved the appointment by voice vote.
What happens next: the signed ordinance becomes the formal county record of the prior vote; Nancy Cook will continue to serve on the public library board as approved.
Authorities cited in meeting: previously voted ordinance amending sheriff residency-pay policy (final signatures taken at this meeting).
