Sheriff Jim Heflin reported an inmate count of 56 at the county jail. Heflin told commissioners he has been working with First Financial Bank for loans to purchase three new vehicles; after a month of negotiations he said the process has been difficult and that, “if he does not receive the funding from First Financial Bank by Wednesday he will change funding to Citizens State Bank.” Commissioner Dan Borgenheimer moved to allow the sheriff to change funding sources if necessary; Commissioner Laura Coons seconded the motion, which carried 3–0.
The minutes show the board authorized the funding change to ensure vehicle procurement can proceed on a tight timeline. No further details about loan terms or vehicle specifications were included in the meeting record.
