Summary

Spencer County Fiscal Court approved reimbursement to the sheriff’s office for patrol-vehicle equipment purchased with drug-seizure funds and rehired Victoria Shelburne as the animal control officer at $16/hour pending background and drug screening.

The Fiscal Court approved two personnel and expense items affecting public safety at its June 20 meeting.

Sheriff Herndon requested reimbursement for patrol-vehicle equipment purchased using drug-seizure funds; the court approved the reimbursement on a motion by Esq. Jerry Moody, seconded by Esq. Brewer. Treasurer Williams recorded a $500 transfer in the packet to account for the sheriff reimbursement.

The court also approved the rehiring of Victoria Shelburne as the animal control officer at $16 per hour, contingent on a successful background check and drug screen. The motion to hire Shelburne was made by Esq. Brewer, seconded by Esq. Beaverson, and passed with all members present voting "aye." The animal-control tire-quote item for the recycling center was tabled pending additional quotes.

The court’s approvals were recorded in the meeting packet and will be reflected in personnel and procurement records maintained by county administration.
