Summary
At its June 22 special called meeting, the Marshall County Fiscal Court approved a grant application for an emergency management drone, adopted the county FY26/27 salary schedule and approved several routine personnel and budget actions; all motions passed unanimously.
The Marshall County Fiscal Court voted unanimously on June 22 to approve a grant application to obtain a drone for the county's Emergency Management program and to adopt the FY26/27 salary schedule.
Commissioner Marty Barrett moved to approve and sign the grant application; Commissioner Eddie McGuire seconded the motion and "all voted aye," according to the minutes. Judge Spraggs presided. The minutes do not include the proposed grant amount, awarding agency, or timeline for procurement.
In the same set of motions, the court approved the FY26/27 Salary Schedule after a motion by Commissioner Barrett that was seconded by Commissioner McGuire. The minutes record unanimous approval but do not list specific salary rates or the schedule's effective date beyond the fiscal-year designation.
The court also approved other routine administrative items. Commissioners approved a training incentive for Jailer Roger Ford (motion moved by Commissioner Barrett and seconded by Commissioner McGuire) and hired Nathan Knight as a seasonal Road Department employee at $15 per hour effective June 22, 2026 (motion moved by Commissioner Barrett and seconded by Commissioner McGuire). The minutes do not specify the amount or terms of the jailer’s training incentive.
An agenda item described only as "this item" was moved by Commissioner Barrett, seconded by Commissioner McGuire and postponed until the next Fiscal Court meeting. The minutes do not identify that item or the reason for postponement.
The court approved an appropriation transfer and the payment of the county’s bills by unanimous vote (motions moved by Commissioner Barrett and seconded by Commissioner Monti Collins). The minutes do not provide details on the transfer amounts or the invoices paid.
There was no Treasurer’s report and no executive session. The court adjourned following a unanimous motion to do so. The meeting minutes were submitted by Fiscal Court Clerk Geldanial Cory Daniel.
