Lede: County officials voted to authorize outfitting eight leased sheriff vehicles; county purchasing staff will open POs so vendors can begin ordering specialized equipment.

Why it matters: Outfitting decisions determine when the sheriff’s vehicles are operational and which costs are borne by the county or the sheriff’s office. The meeting discussion covered per-unit estimates, potential funding splits and the county’s plan to front costs and seek reimbursement where possible.

Discussion details

- Estimated cost: presenters cited an estimated per-unit outfitting cost of about $14,298.28; total for eight vehicles approximated at $114,000.
- Timing: vehicles are expected to be delivered in November; staff noted lead time on specialized equipment requires POs be opened now.
- Funding options: the treasurer said general-fund vehicle lines could cover several outfitting purchases and suggested transfers later or use of drug-forfeiture and other department revenues to offset costs. The sheriff’s office indicated limited current cash and identified the possibility of covering two units later in the year.
- Equipment reuse: staff discussed which items can be transferred between vehicle models (for example, computer mounts and computers may move between vehicles, while many chargers and older equipment cannot be reused). Sam in fleet services was identified as the contact to identify transferable equipment.
- Procurement process: county purchasing indicated relationships with vendors and the ability to pay on net-30; the court directed staff to open POs and proceed. The motion authorizes the county to pay upfront and the sheriff’s office to reimburse when funds are available.

Vote and next steps

The court voted to proceed with the eight-vehicle outfitting order. Staff will open POs, issue orders to vendors and track each vehicle’s equipment list. Treasurer/finance staff will document transfers and funding sources and report back on budget adjustments.

Ending

The court emphasized balancing immediate operational readiness with fiscal management; members asked the sheriff’s office to pursue available departmental funds where possible, and the treasurer will monitor allocations and possible reimbursements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Boyle County Fiscal Court Regular Meeting - August 26, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Boyle County Fiscal Court on Aug. 26 authorized purchasing equipment to outfit eight new sheriff Durango vehicles.

What was announced: The mobile unit, which includes advanced imaging and testing equipment normally found in hospital settings (CT-based coronary artery calcium scans, echocardiography, spirometry and point-of-care blood tests), will be parked in Millennium Park and will offer free exams and follow-up contacts. Organizers said the project will recruit approximately 855 participants from Boyle and neighboring Garrard County in the target age range of about 25–64 years.

Why it matters: The mobile screenings can detect subclinical cardiovascular disease and other issues earlier than routine care in some cases, and project staff emphasized follow-up protocols and confidentiality controls.

How it will work: People who volunteer will spend roughly two hours with the study team completing surveys and exams. Results are de-identified for research analysis, but participants receive individual results. The team described a red-flag protocol to phone participants quickly if an exam identifies an urgent concern and said a written results letter would be provided within about a week so participants can share findings with their health-care providers. Presenters also said the study team is coordinating with local providers — including Ephraim McDowell — to facilitate clinical follow-up when needed.

Local outreach and logistics: The study is governed by a university institutional review board. The presenters said they will use a combination of mailed invitations (commercial mailing list) and online sign-ups (Linktree/Instagram/Facebook links) to recruit a representative sample across age, sex and geography. Organizers invited county officials and residents to an open house when the unit arrives and requested help publicizing the schedule.

No vote required: This portion of the meeting was informational; the court did not authorize or fund the study during the meeting. Presenters thanked local partners for logistical help and the court for accommodating the unit’s placement in Millennium Park.

Ending: Organizers urged eligible residents to sign up through the project website and local outreach partners; the study team emphasized the program’s confidentiality protections and the availability of clinical referral pathways for participants with concerning findings.","Presenters told the Boyle County Fiscal Court that a mobile unit offering free cardiovascular and lung screenings will be stationed at Millennium Park for several months.

Why it matters: The proclamations signal county-level recognition and support for local programs and mark dates and resources available to residents, including an expungement clinic, crisis response services and outreach by Canine Companions.

Overdose Awareness Day proclamation

Judge Trillie L. Bottom read a proclamation recognizing Aug. 31, 2025, as International Overdose Awareness Day in Boyle County. She presented the proclamation to Kathy Miles, identified in the meeting as a local recovery advocate who helped the county achieve a “Recovery Ready” recognition. Miles thanked the court and outlined recent local efforts, including an expungement clinic (scheduled with free dinner) and ongoing crisis-response and EMS investments. Miles said county overdose deaths fell from 17 in 2023 to 10 in 2024, and she detailed community follow-up events planned for the week.

Suicide Prevention Month proclamation

The court proclaimed September 2025 as Suicide Prevention Month and presented the proclamation to Terry Dunn on behalf of the county’s community co-response crisis team. Dunn thanked the court, noted that the team is increasingly fielding crisis calls, and described outreach and awareness efforts. The proclamation mentions 988 as a 24/7 lifeline and cites national guidance and data on suicide rates.

National Service Dog Month proclamation

The court also proclaimed September 2025 as National Service Dog Month. Mark Herrick and Tammy Harrod of Canine Companions, and a volunteer recipient who brought a trained service dog named Violet, accepted the proclamation. Speakers described Canine Companions’ mission to provide expertly trained service dogs free of charge and explained capabilities of service dogs (e.g., button pushing, mobility assistance, hearing support, PTSD interruption). Volunteers and recipients discussed the organization’s training, the application and waitlist process, and how service dogs can help recipients maintain employment and daily independence.

Practical details and local resources

- The overdose-awareness proclamation listed an expungement clinic and a public remembrance and action event with screenings and resource tables; organizers had already reported more than 30 sign-ups for the expungement clinic at the time of the meeting.
- The suicide-prevention proclamation noted the 988 Lifeline and invited residents to promote awareness and access to mental-health resources.
- Canine Companions representatives said interested people can apply at k9.org and described a typical match, training and follow-up process; volunteers explained that placements are free to qualified recipients.

Ending

The court’s proclamations are symbolic actions that accompany county-funded and nonprofit-supported services, including EMS, the community crisis-response team and outreach events scheduled in the coming weeks.","At its Aug. 26 meeting the Boyle County Fiscal Court issued proclamations recognizing International Overdose Awareness Day (Aug. 31), Suicide Prevention Month (September) and National Service Dog Month (September).

The court approved transfers and payments, adopted two ordinances on second reading, authorized purchases for county equipment and vehicles, and approved tax-rate settings for multiple taxing districts.

Why it matters: The votes set the county’s near-term spending and contracts, advance two local ordinances (flood-damage prevention updates and a zoning text amendment), and authorize purchases that affect public safety and county operations.

Major formal actions and outcomes (chronological highlights, each item voted by the court):
