Top issues during term (20)
Opioid funding for Drug Court and Sheriff's Office
Settlement dollars flow into county coffers, though the specific amount for this phase wasn't stated.
November general election preparation
FY 2026-2027 Budget Amendment No. 2 (Ordinance 347-2)
$62.5 million total spend; tax rate stays at 10.8 cents per $100, down about 7% since 2023.
Temporary moratorium on data center rezonings
No direct cost; the court hopes eventual data center rules could bring tax relief and economic benefit.
General Election Voting Information
White Mills Bridge repair contract signed
Repairs could cost a couple hundred thousand dollars and the county hadn't budgeted for it.
$848,000 purchase of EMS cardiac monitors
About $1.2 million added to the county budget, much of it grant-related.
Countywide ban on pet sales in parking lots and flea markets
Unknown; likely minimal county cost with existing Animal Control staffing.
RAVE Alert Mass Notification System
About $15,000 a year from the budget for the alert system.
Detention center inmates serve the community
The jail brought in $340,441.77 in lodging income for September; inmate labor equates to about $63,814 in value.
State road aid and grant funding
Over $600,000 in new road money plus $6.5 million for the Glendale complex, with limited local match required.
$100,000 Middle Creek Road resurfacing
County share about $180,000 if the $100,000 state match is awarded.
Hoover Hollow Road emergency repair
The county's share of the emergency project is set at a 3% participation rate under the state program.
Drought Conditions and Potential No-Burn Order
Berrytown Road Drainage Structure Repairs
County share about $80,000; the state covers the other half.
ADA Website Compliance Software
A software purchase cost, amount not stated in the meeting.
TRACERS Search and Rescue Grant
No county cost — roughly $2,600 in state money passes through to TRACERS.
Closure of Spurrier Alley in White Mills
No county cost; the county simply gives up an unused right-of-way it never developed.
Co-op/intern position and volunteer transparency
The proposed position carries up to $15,000 in the proposed budget; the current volunteer is unpaid.
Interstate Emergency Responder Safety
Fire apparatus damage and repair costs are an unquantified expense to departments and taxpayers.
