The Scott County Fiscal Court convened on July 24, 2025, to address several key issues, including the extension of a moratorium on RV campgrounds and a quarterly report from the Scott County Detention Center.
The meeting began with the approval of previous minutes and the presentation of financial transfers and bills, all of which passed without opposition. A significant topic was the proposed extension of Resolution 25 11, which extends the moratorium on the Georgetown Scott County Planning Commission's acceptance and review of applications for RV campgrounds until December 27, 2025. This extension aims to provide the planning commission with additional time to finalize tasks related to the RV ordinance. A public meeting is scheduled for July 31, 2025, at the public library to gather community feedback on the draft ordinance.
Following the discussion on the moratorium, Dylan Broyles presented the quarterly report for the Scott County Detention Center. He noted that the facility was fully staffed and currently housing 121 inmates. The report highlighted the successful operation of a net device program aimed at rehabilitation, with positive feedback from participants. Broyles mentioned that the facility had collected 215 bags of trash and eight needles during community service efforts, despite challenging weather conditions.
The court also discussed the current inmate population, which has seen fluctuations, particularly during the busy summer months. Concerns were raised about maintaining appropriate staffing levels and managing the number of inmates to avoid exceeding capacity.
Overall, the meeting underscored the court's commitment to community engagement regarding the RV campground moratorium and the ongoing efforts to support rehabilitation within the detention center. The next steps include the upcoming public meeting and continued monitoring of inmate numbers and facility operations.
