Summary
At its meeting the Fiscal Court approved minutes for November and December 2025, hired an EMT, approved an electrical inspector contract, passed Ordinance 2026001 establishing an electrical inspection fee schedule, and approved the sheriff’s 2026 budget and reports; motions passed with recorded 'all in favor' calls though detailed tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
The Lee County Fiscal Court approved a series of routine and administrative measures during the meeting.
Minutes: The court approved minutes from the November and December 2025 meetings without recorded opposition.
Personnel: The court approved the full-time hire of EMT Madison Smith with a three-month probation period. The transcript records a motion and second and a recorded approval; the pay-rate language in the record is unclear and should be confirmed in personnel records.
Electrical inspection: The court approved a contract to appoint a second electrical inspector (identified in the transcript as "Calvin El Song") and passed Ordinance 2026001, described in the record as establishing the electrical inspection fee schedule required by the state; both measures were approved after motions and seconds were recorded.
Sheriff items: The court approved the Lee County sheriff’s 2026 annual budget as presented, an order setting the maximum number of deputies and assistants, and the sheriff’s fourth-quarter cumulative report and annual settlement for calendar year 2025. The transcript uses two variants of the sheriff’s surname in the record ('Joe Loops' and 'Joe Lucas'); the court recorded motions and approvals but no roll-call tallies.
These votes were recorded as motions, seconds and the clerk’s call for 'All in favor' indicating passage; the transcript does not include individual roll-call vote tallies for the items recorded here.
