Board meetings and strategic plans from Desha County
The meeting included the presentation and acceptance of the Treasurer's and Sheriff's reports. Old business topics covered the demolition and salvage efforts at the former Desha County Hospital, the status of Arkansas Department of Transportation and County State Aid projects, and progress on the Syrene Church project. New business involved the introduction of an updated personnel policy and a discussion regarding the rising costs of municipal solid waste disposal, leading to plans for increasing city trash disposal fees. Additionally, the Court discussed the replacement of unreliable trackhoe equipment for county use.
The agenda for the meeting included standard items such as prayer, roll call, and reports from the Treasurer and Sheriff. New business featured consideration of Ordinance 2026-2, which pertains to establishing a County Administration of Justice Fund in the County Treasurer's Office. The documents reviewed also included the January 2026 monthly report for the Desha County Sheriff's Office, detailing patrol statistics, calls for service, and criminal investigations conducted during that month.

The Desha County Quorum Court meeting involved discussions on several new business items. Key topics included the Pendleton/FEMA Buyout Option, the policy regarding mask mandates upon reopening the Old Courthouse and Annex Building, and budget issues related to road repairs due to snow, freezing, and heavy rain damage, which caused the gravel line item to be over budget. The court reviewed two bids from John Deer for equipment and discussed a significant donation received by the road and sheriff departments. Repairs needed for the landfill wall were addressed. A request by the County Judge for "VIEW ONLY" access to the Apprentice bookkeeping system was denied pending discussion with the County Clerk. The status of insurance payment for C.B. King Auditorium flooring repairs and the need for a new trackhoe to haul gravel were also discussed, referencing potential savings by sourcing gravel from a Lincoln County source. Furthermore, the court discussed the DOT contract, sanitation bid status, road department work efforts, and the need to implement a social media policy in the personnel handbook following complaints about internet postings.
