Union County Board of Supervisors Packet Summary — 2026-09-02
Meeting: Board of Supervisors Meeting
Scheduled: Wednesday, September 2, 2026, at 9:00 AM
Location: Board Room, lower level of the Union County Courthouse
Key Items on the Agenda
The Union County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to meet in regular session with an agenda that includes county road maintenance, a quarterly report from the Sheriff, discussion of the Union County Jail, and a workshop concerning a Solar / BESS ordinance.
The meeting is also scheduled to begin with the Pledge of Allegiance, consideration of the agenda and minutes from the previous meeting, and an open forum.
County Roads — Weekly Maintenance Activity Report
At 9:05 AM, Union County Roads Superintendent Al Hysell is scheduled to present the Weekly Maintenance Activity Report.
The agenda identifies this as a report but does not provide additional details about specific road projects, maintenance locations, costs, or proposed actions.
Sheriff's Quarterly Report
At 9:20 AM, Union County Sheriff Brian Bolton is scheduled to present the Sheriff's Quarterly Report.
The packet does not provide supporting details about the report's statistics, finances, operations, or other subjects, so the specific matters expected to be covered are not identified in the available materials.
Union County Jail Discussion
At 9:30 AM, Chayce Coenen, Business Development Manager with Samuels Group, is scheduled to appear for an agenda item listed as "Discuss Union County Jail."
The packet does not describe the scope of the jail discussion or identify a specific proposal, contract, cost, recommendation, or action for Board consideration. The agenda therefore supports identifying the jail as a scheduled discussion topic but does not establish what decisions, if any, may be contemplated.
Policy / Governance Items
Solar / BESS Ordinance Workshop
At 10:00 AM, Union County Auditor Sandy Hysell is scheduled for a Solar / BESS Ordinance Workshop.
The agenda identifies the matter as a workshop rather than listing a specific ordinance for adoption or other final action. No ordinance text, proposed requirements, policy numbers, timelines, or supporting materials are included in the packet text, so the precise issues to be reviewed during the workshop are not specified.
Public Participation
An Open Forum is included near the beginning of the meeting agenda, following the opening procedural items.
The packet does not provide additional instructions, time limits, or topics for the open forum.
What to Watch at the Meeting
- Union County Jail: The agenda schedules a discussion with a Samuels Group business development manager but does not explain the subject's scope. The meeting may provide additional context about what aspect of the jail is under review.
- Solar / BESS Ordinance: The scheduled workshop signals policy work concerning a Solar / BESS ordinance, but the packet does not include enough detail to identify proposed provisions or potential next steps.
- Routine county operations: The Roads Superintendent's weekly maintenance report and Sheriff's quarterly report are scheduled to provide updates in their respective areas, although supporting details are not included in the packet.
