The Fleming County Fiscal Court accepted the sheriff's January 2023 report and approved reimbursement to the sheriff for evidence verification services.
Sheriff Smith informed the court of several operational and personnel priorities: plans to increase deputies' pay, missing case files that require attention, vehicle maintenance needs, relocation of evidence files and improvements to inventory tracking, updates needed to radio repeaters, and mobile data terminals supplied by the school district.
The court approved reimbursement to the sheriff of $2,400 — recorded as half of his expenses for third‑party evidence and inventory verification services. No additional appropriation for pay increases or equipment upgrades was recorded at this meeting; the sheriff's statements were entered as part of his report for future consideration.
