Board meetings and strategic plans from Pulaski County
The Fiscal Court discussed several items, including citizen comments regarding local homelessness resources and concerns about jail conditions and under-resourcing. The court conducted the first reading of an updated administrative code, which includes safety-related policy changes, new forms for incident reporting, and updated job descriptions. Additionally, the court addressed the addition and removal of specific non-conforming roads from the county system and initiated a first reading for a new communications services franchise ordinance designed to regulate utility provider access to public rights of way.
The court discussed the purchase of a new pump testing unit for the fire department, debating liability concerns and whether to utilize a third party for testing instead. Ultimately, the purchase was approved, and the court also resolved to surplus an old testing unit and a surplus vehicle. Additionally, the court reviewed and discussed a franchise agreement with Charter Communications, specifically addressing the term length of the contract and the lack of internet expansion into rural areas.
The court meeting focused on various operational and financial matters, primarily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Key discussions included approval of road department supply requests, authorization to apply for a state 911 grant, and advertising for bids for new CAD software. The court reviewed the upcoming jail budget and general financial reports, including strategies for FEMA reimbursement of virus-related expenses. Significant attention was given to expected budget shortfalls due to decreased occupational tax revenue and reductions in road aid, leading to the authorization of a voluntary layoff program for county employees to mitigate future financial distress.
