Summary
Floyd County Council approved a $1,500,000 additional appropriation from the Public Safety LIT fund for vehicles on Nov. 12, 2025, by a 5–2 vote after a motion to table failed. Two members opposed appropriating funds before a contract was in place.
Floyd County Council approved a $1,500,000 additional appropriation from the Public Safety LIT fund for vehicles at its Nov. 12 meeting. The request (agenda item 5j) was questioned by Council member Denise Konkle, who asked why the county was appropriating funds while within the 90‑day window and without an executed contract. A motion to table the appropriation (moved by Konkle and seconded by Jim Freiberger) failed 2–5.
A subsequent motion to approve the appropriation passed 5–2. The minutes record Denise Konkle and Jim Freiberger as the two opposing votes. The line in the minutes lists the Public Safety LIT fund balance at $3,153,734.54 and the appropriation request of $1,500,000 for vehicles. The council did not record additional details about vendor selection or contract timing in the meeting minutes.
