County leaders praise snow response and note new inclement-weather policy
Summary
Carroll County leaders thanked employees and volunteers for snow-emergency response, confirmed the county was at a Level 2 snow emergency, and County Attorney Nick Marsh said the court passed a policy to protect employees during inclement weather.
Officials at the Carroll County Fiscal Court meeting on Jan. 29 thanked county employees, vendors and volunteers for their work during a recent snow emergency and noted a new inclement-weather policy intended to protect employees.
Judge Executive David Wilhoite opened the meeting by thanking county staff for their response, saying the county was at a Level 2 snow emergency and likely to drop to Level 1 that day. He thanked the State Highway Department for its work and thanked vendors, restaurants and citizens who provided food to emergency medical services and the Road Department.
County Attorney Nick Marsh said he appreciated the court for finally passing a policy to protect employees during inclement weather. Magistrates echoed thanks: Scott Nab praised staff efforts and noted the Prestonville Bridge had been down for a few hours during the storm; Benjie Long offered thanks to responders and asked the court to keep business owner Keith Vannarsdall in their thoughts after his business was lost; Clay Cable also thanked staff.
Wilhoite said more road salt had been ordered but that the per-ton price was significantly higher because the county exceeded its allotted amount. The court did not enter an executive session and adjourned after completing business.
