The Floyd County Board of Supervisors voted to approve the disbursements presented at the reorganization meeting, including several recreation‑park projects and related items.
Board members discussed an $8,800 invoice for concrete work described as footings and pads for new bleachers and a carport-style cover. County staff explained the concrete portion came from the county’s approved budget while the carport/cover used tourism funds managed through the town and ARPA allocations. Staff said the work for the recreation area included multiple discrete construction elements: concrete footings and pads for permanent bleachers and for a carport structure that could be used as additional seating or a small stage.
A motion to approve the disbursements carried on a roll-call vote; the motion passed with four votes in favor and one abstention. The board requested that staff circulate the underlying invoice and procurement paperwork for supervisors’ review, and supervisors discussed the county’s small‑purchase threshold and increasing use of formal bids for larger projects.
During the discussion supervisors asked staff to double-check purchasing practices and, where feasible, to seek bids even on projects under the small‑purchase ceiling to achieve better pricing. County staff agreed to bring supporting documentation for the disbursements to supervisors who asked for it.
