The Floyd County commissioners introduced Sydney Maine as the county’s new road department superintendent on July 15.

Commissioners noted longtime superintendent Ronnie Toole had retired, and they invited Sydney Maine to introduce himself to the public. Maine said his wife is from New Albany and that he had just begun his duties; he did not present an employment contract or request any formal action at the meeting. "My name is Sydney Maine," he said during the brief introduction.

Commissioners welcomed Maine and encouraged public familiarity with the new superintendent; no formal action or vote on his hiring was recorded in the meeting minutes provided.

Ending: Maine will assume operational duties in the road department and county staff will handle onboarding and any required formal personnel documentation off the meeting record.
