Votes at a glance: Lee County Fiscal Court approves routine items, hires and pay increase
Summary
The fiscal court approved minutes and several agreements, opened a forfeiture account, approved a pay increase for an employee and authorized new hires for deputy sheriff and EMT positions; votes were recorded by voice and outcomes are listed as recorded in the meeting.
The Lee County Fiscal Court completed a set of routine agenda actions during the meeting, including approvals of minutes, contracts and personnel actions. The court voiced assent on each motion as recorded in the minutes; specific vote counts were not provided in the transcript.
Approved items included the February 2026 meeting minutes; maintenance agreements between Lot 14 Hydro Partners LLC and Leakhead Viscally Ford; a resolution approving county roads as listed in the packet; authorization to open a forfeiture account for Lee County Jailer Justin Scheuer at Citizens Bank; and the approval of claims and transfers.
Personnel actions recorded as approved were a pay increase for Debbie Miller to $11.77 per hour effective Feb. 26, 2026, the full-time hire of Gregory Smallwood Jr. and Buzzing Smallwood as deputy sheriffs at listed salaries (three months probation), and the full-time hire of Joshua Bailey as an advanced EMT with probation noted. The transcript records motions and voice votes ("Aye") for these items but does not provide a roll-call tally of yes/no/abstain by member name.
The court also discussed removing Bill Charles Cemetery Road from a lead/air road system listing and other routine agenda housekeeping items; no separate contested roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript for that item.
