LAWRENCE COUNTY — The Lawrence County commissioners unanimously approved a slate of routine measures during their Feb. 17, 2026 meeting, including minutes, flood-plain permits, multiple appropriations and transfers, and a construction contract for landslide repairs.
The actions came during the regular weekly meeting and passed without recorded opposition. County officials approved the meeting minutes for Feb. 10 and Feb. 12, 2026, accepted flood-plain permits submitted by the Soil and Water Conservation District, and approved appropriations and transfers under $75,000 submitted by County Administrator Dylan Bentley and a separate transfer submitted by Parker Rowe, director of finance.
Commissioners also voted to approve and sign an equitable sharing agreement and certification submitted by Dave Markham, and accepted bid documents for project PW 70 32 (law CR103145) — a landslide repair — awarding the construction agreement to Allen Stone Inc.
Votes at a glance: The motions to approve the minutes, the flood-plain permits, the appropriations and transfers (including the items under $75,000), the equitable sharing agreement, and the award to Allen Stone Inc. were moved and seconded according to the record and were recorded as unanimous 'Yes' votes by Commissioner Finley, Commissioner Holiday and Commissioner Copley.
The commissioners did not discuss alternate bidders or dissent on the public record during the award vote. The meeting record shows the body planned to move into an executive session after these items to discuss real estate and legal contracts with County Administrator Dylan Bentley.
