Mitchell County supervisors approve routine reports, library contract and transfers
Summary
At the June 16 meeting the board approved the sheriff’s, clerk and recorder reports, a final Fiddler project payment from the recorder’s budget, a $183,936 library services contract for 2026–27, and a $30,000 annual transfer to the conservation land acquisition fund.
The Mitchell County Board of Supervisors approved several routine reports and fiscal items at its June 16 meeting.
The board voted to approve the sheriff’s May report following a presentation about deputy hiring and background checks. The clerk of court’s May report was approved by voice and roll call. The recorder reported a new part‑time clerk, Jessica Hurdle, and noted the state increased the fee for vital records copies from $15 to $20 (the county retains $4 of each copy).
Supervisors approved using the recorder’s budget to cover the final Fiddler‑project payment after the recorder said she would prefer to avoid a year‑end budget amendment; the board will follow up on amendment timing if needed.
The board also approved the Mitchell County library services contract for fiscal year 2026–27 at $183,936, and passed a routine $30,000 transfer from the general basic fund to the conservation land‑acquisition fund as part of annual budgeting.
In other business, supervisors reviewed a two‑year contract for a texting service called 'Text My Gov' and asked staff and legal counsel to return next week with options for cancellation or reduced liability under a 60‑day notice clause.
A public commenter asked whether water‑ and radon‑test maps are publicly available; staff confirmed the sanitation office keeps the data and that residents may access it in the office.
Chair adjourned the meeting at about 9:49 a.m.
