The Todd County Fiscal Court meeting held on November 22, 2024, focused on several key issues, including road safety improvements and community events.
One of the primary discussions centered around the need for guardrails on Springtown Road and Stratton Road. Estimates for the installation of these guardrails were presented, totaling approximately $36,000. The court noted that the company EFI, which adheres to state standards, would handle the installation. Despite efforts to secure state funding for these improvements, officials reported that no funds are available for new guardrails unless they are part of a new bridge project. However, the county has the necessary funds to proceed independently with the installation.
Additionally, the meeting highlighted an upcoming joint planning session scheduled for December 5, which will involve county officials and is expected to address various local planning issues.
The court also discussed the replacement of an old copier, with plans to surplus the outdated equipment.
In community engagement news, Senator Wilson extended an invitation to all elected officials for a reception at the Western Kentucky University Alumni Center on December 5, where several state senators will be present. Officials were asked to confirm their attendance by the following Monday.
Lastly, the meeting noted the opening of the new Todd County Public Library, with activities and tours scheduled for the day, encouraging community members to participate in the events.
Overall, the meeting underscored the county's commitment to improving local infrastructure and fostering community connections through upcoming events.
