Sheriff reports jail population of 70 and secures 5.75% loan to buy three vehicles
Summary
Sheriff Jim Heflin reported an inmate count of 70, outlined several facility and equipment needs, and the commission approved financing through First Financial Bank at a 5.75% interest rate to purchase three vehicles.
Sheriff Jim Heflin reported the jail "inmate count is 70" and told commissioners that the council approved purchase of three vehicles for the Sheriff's Department to be financed. Heflin presented interest-rate quotes from several institutions and asked the board to accept First Financial Bank's loan at 5.75%; the board approved that financing unanimously.
Heflin also reported operational and facility matters: he is pursuing a second quote for another well, reported a nonworking tractor motor, presented quotes for dorm windows and doors, described a quote to widen the range ("just under $10,000"), requested a storage shed, and said the cooling tower has been fixed. The meeting record does not show immediate budget allocations beyond the vehicle financing approval.
