Magistrates raise road‑department boot allowance to $200
Summary
Ohio County Fiscal Court voted to raise the road‑department shoe/boot allowance from $150 to $200 effective with the new budget, citing inflation and equipment costs.
Ohio County Fiscal Court on May 26 approved an increase in the road‑department shoe/boot allowance from $150 to $200, to take effect with the new fiscal year budget.
Magistrate Larry proposed the change, citing the requirement for steel‑toed boots and rising costs; Michael seconded the motion. After brief discussion about inflation and equipment prices, the court approved the increase by voice vote.
The change was presented as effective when the FY2026‑27 budget takes effect; no specific procurement or reimbursement procedure was detailed at the meeting.
Next steps: implementation details such as reimbursement timing will be handled by county personnel/finance as the new budget is adopted.
