Scheduled: Thursday, September 3, 2026, at 9:00 a.m.
The Henry County Board of Supervisors agenda includes consideration of a part-time equipment operator hire, a second reading related to codifying ordinances, law-enforcement staffing and county reserves for Old Threshers, and contracts for a Planning & Zoning provider.

Key Items on the Agenda
County Engineer Update and Part-Time Equipment Operator
County Engineer Jake Hotchkiss is scheduled to provide his weekly update. As part of that agenda item, the Board is expected to consider Motion 30-2026-20 — Hire Part-Time Equipment Operator II.
The packet does not provide the proposed employee's name, compensation, work schedule, or other terms of the potential hire.
Second Reading of Codifying Ordinances
Planning & Zoning Director Joe Buffington is scheduled to present a second reading of codifying ordinances. The agenda does not provide additional information about the ordinances being codified or describe proposed changes.
Old Threshers Law Enforcement
County Sheriff Rich McNamee is scheduled for discussion and action regarding county reserves and deputies for Old Threshers law enforcement. The agenda identifies both county reserves and deputies as part of the matter but does not specify proposed staffing levels, costs, or a recommended action.
Planning & Zoning Provider Contracts
Under unfinished business, the Board is scheduled for discussion and possible action on contracts selecting a Planning & Zoning provider. The packet does not identify the prospective providers, contract amounts, terms, or a recommended selection.
PJ Greufe Associates Contract
The Board is also scheduled to discuss and potentially act on a PJ Greufe Associates / Paul Greufe contract. No contract value, duration, scope of services, or proposed terms are included in the packet text.
Other County Business
The agenda includes several additional matters:
- A department head meeting.
- Discussion of courthouse flag poles.
- A recap of departmental office moves.
- Committee updates from Supervisors White, Detrick, and Lindeen.
- Other business.
The packet provides no additional supporting detail for these items.
Consent Agenda
The Board is scheduled to consider approval of a consent agenda containing:
- Approval of Board minutes.
- Approval of financial claims for payment.
The packet text does not include the underlying minutes, a claims list, or dollar amounts for the financial claims.
Public Participation
The agenda provides an opportunity for public comments on items not listed on the agenda. Participants are asked to state their name and address for the record and limit comments to three minutes per person so others have an opportunity to speak.
What to Watch at the Meeting
Several agenda items leave the potential action open-ended because the packet provides only brief agenda descriptions. Items to watch include the terms and outcome of the PJ Greufe Associates contract discussion, selection of a Planning & Zoning provider, the proposed part-time Equipment Operator II hire, and any action arising from the Sheriff's discussion of reserves and deputies for Old Threshers law enforcement.
The second reading of codifying ordinances may also warrant attention because the packet does not explain which ordinances are involved or what the codification would change.
