Clark County Board Meeting | October 10, 2025

Article Summary:
The Clark County Board has approved the installation of a new $3,980 heating system for the county’s Animal Control building. The decision was made after the building’s office, which previously had no heat source, experienced frozen pipes during the previous winter.

Animal Control Building Key Points:

  • New Equipment: An 18,000 BTU ductless mini-split system will be installed.

  • Total Cost: The project is valued at $3,980.

  • Reason for Purchase: The building’s office area lacked a heat source, leading to frozen pipes and the use of temporary electric heaters last winter.

The Clark County Board took action on Friday, October 10, 2025, to address inadequate heating at the county’s Animal Control building. During a special meeting, the board decided to install an 18,000 BTU ductless mini-split heating and cooling system in the building’s office area.

Board Member Brandon Burkybile explained the necessity of the upgrade, stating that the office portion of the facility currently has no heat. During the coldest part of last winter, this resulted in frozen pipes and forced staff to rely on electric space heaters.

The board agreed that the installation, priced at $3,980, needed to be completed. According to the meeting proceedings, a formal vote was not required because the expenditure fell below the threshold that necessitates full board approval. The members reached a consensus to proceed with the installation.
