An agenda item printed before the public meeting, "Permission For The Adair County Fiscal Court To Take Over The Sheriff's Office," resulted in several calls of folks concerned about what was taking place. No action was taken by the Court. Sheriff Roy commented on the wording on the agenda. Evidently lots of people didn't understand what exactly was going to be discussed about that. He urged better wording of the agenda. The topic of Sheriff's Office management is being discussed around the state. A debate is going on in Russell County Fiscal Court is underway. From left at the October Fiscal Court meeting are: Adair County Sheriff Gary Roy, Treasurer Malinda Quinn, Jailer Buddy Powell, and Adair County Deputy Judge Executive Bridget Compton.
