Spencer County Fiscal Court rejects EMS door quote, hears animal‑shelter staffing concerns and declares command‑center trailer surplus
Summary
The court voted down a $6,100 EMS door replacement motion, discussed animal shelter staffing needs and declared the command‑center trailer surplus and authorized its sale after a separate vote.
The Buildings & Grounds committee presented two quotes to replace EMS building doors and a motion to accept B&J Overhead Door for $6,100 was defeated after a recorded vote: Judge John Riley voted aye and four magistrates voted no; the motion failed.
Esq. Travis reported animal‑shelter staffer David Wood was working more hours than he was being paid and that kennel help was limited; discussion continued and the minutes show the shelter issue would be revisited in executive session on personnel.
Separately, on a motion by Esq. J. Moody and second by Esq. M. Moody, the court declared the command‑center trailer surplus and authorized sale on govdeals.com. The motion carried with four ayes and one nay (Judge Riley voted no); the trailer will be listed for sale as surplus property.
The sheriff presented a $2,750 quote from All Steel Carports to build a carport for the command center and coroner unit and said that quote was $500–$600 less than competing quotes; the minutes record the quote but do not show a later vote to proceed with that purchase at this meeting.
The court directed committees to follow up: Buildings & Grounds to revisit door quotes and the Equipment Committee to manage surplus listing and sale.
