The Baxter County Quorum Court met Monday evening for its December session, convening one day earlier than usual. The meeting lasted 24-minutes, and all agenda items passed unanimously.Justices of the peace approved several appropriations and transfers, including an ordinance allocating $6,806 in October fees and reimbursements to the Sheriff’s Office for 2025 and another transferring $6,244 from County General into the Juvenile Services budget. They also approved moving $18,436 from the Road and Bridge Fund into Buildings and Grounds for next year.
The court passed an emergency ordinance affirming the county’s annual millage levy, Ordinance 2025-54, after making a procedural amendment. The adjustment corrected the Grover Township Fire Protection District’s levy period to 2025-26, rather than 2024-25, before the measure was approved.
Members also adopted an emergency inter local agreement with the City of Mountain Home covering district court accounting records and programming support. A resolution reappointing John Olson and Michael Saunders to the Buford Volunteer Fire Protection District Board of Commissioners was approved as well.
