A county official read the amendment language into the record and recited numeric amounts during the reading.

The reading said the budget should be amended to increase receipts for the Cleaner Water Act fund and the Cleaner Water Program by \"a hundred and $70,390\" and to include an unbudgeted expenditure in the amount of \"$10,004\" in the budget. The language was read as part of an ordinance-like text presented to the court.

The county attorney and magistrates did not record a subsequent roll-call vote in the provided transcript excerpt; the transcript contains the reading of the amendment and a general statement about processing an emergency budget amendment but does not include the court’s final adoption or rejection of the amendment in the excerpt available.

Matt, introduced as Director of Development Services, said he would provide a fuller fiscal-court report next month but gave immediate project updates: playground equipment was scheduled to arrive on the 29th of the month pending weather for installation; Brownfield work was ready to begin once federal and state EPA plan approvals were obtained, with site work expected to start mid-to-late February after Terracon receives approvals.

Emergency-management staff announced the county purchased automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for government buildings, and mounting boxes recently arrived; the department plans to place the devices into service within the next month and offer CPR and first-aid training to county employees.

Parks and pool staff reported that a county pool's original Facebook page had been compromised; staff created a replacement page and encouraged the public to follow it. Kysock Pool adjusted hours: morning swim hours moved to 9 a.m.–noon, and evening hours on Tuesday and Thursday were extended to 5:30–9 p.m.

Roads and maintenance staff reported heavy use and several mechanical breakdowns during recent snow events. The road supervisor said parts were ordered, repairs completed and spare motors kept on hand to reduce future downtime.

Staff also flagged ongoing facility maintenance needs, including bids for a failing freezer and bathroom remodeling in the county facility. Several items (Crumb Rubber Grant reporting, Brownfield grant reporting) were noted as due at month-end and will be reported in greater detail in the next meeting.","Department heads updated the Fiscal Court on routine and near-term projects: Brownfield work and grant reporting timelines, playground equipment delivery, AED purchases and training, pool-hour changes and a compromised pool Facebook account, and snow-removal equipment maintenance.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6290547,"Court debates courthouse energy retrofit contract, procurement and financing; discussion tabled",407,2238000,2645000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2530854-c1d57b7b9104b6efb5e4bd45857e2ba1&start=2238&end=2645","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2530854-c1d57b7b9104b6efb5e4bd45857e2ba1/thumbnail_2238000.jpg","/articles/6290547/Carroll-County/Kentucky/Court-debates-courthouse-energy-retrofit-contract-procurement-and-financing-discussion-tabled","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6290547-78422cf3c5d6baef9500658732374516/orig.mp4?Expires=1770903148&Signature=frHjyyNKscDdeSsJH2nWMUth7FGLC1QbvpNKpwiZd6~gH2mR~6sZmXCcMpb5bQJiZKiseOVK8h1ejTCEJ0cw1Knuv4VSzuPxL5SlSUs-s77xbdRk6u10KJcJbFtvA-IonXY2J9hZ8buMfHxaIZz5e9hPj67FWZVX6inPAxYu5ZGQlgdN915C5D7XdC9M53R1vnRo2qVwvT5A13H3pNAZkakFV6rL~ft06K28VuXt3nexj7y9Upe3xFFwzxxaElXSi-kO6TZVkeQHgb9odu6iEmP98M6ijxF-WD1jD7F2~d93i05iQtLVWIXIRpaHbIztowxm9frIpv3tYPKzmQxS-Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A proposal to proceed with a design-build energy retrofit for the courthouse and other county buildings prompted questions about procurement, financing and legal authority before the Fiscal Court. County staff and an external representative described a scope that includes window replacement, insulation, clock-tower work and solar panels; the court voted to table consideration while legal and financing details are clarified.

A county representative summarized the timeline and contractor plan, saying window installation at the courthouse was targeted for April with a 3-to-6-week installation window depending on weather and that materials lead times were a concern. The representative said the project team intended to use an integrated approach that also addressed insulation and the clock tower.

Magistrates raised procurement questions. One magistrate said that items such as windows and water systems are \"put in\" by nonprofessional contractors and “have to be bid,” noting such projects typically exceed the county’s bid threshold. A county representative responded that the process being used was the guaranteed energy savings contracting (GEFC) approach and that, once selected through procurement, the firm would act as the general contractor under that process.

The county attorney said he had not been consulted on some contract details and requested time to review the materials. Concerns included how the initial mobilization funds would be provided; a contractor representative suggested bridge funding might come from the existing county budget and be reimbursed when bonds are issued, and estimated that mobilization might be on the order of \"maybe 10% of the total amount.\" The transcript includes fragmented dollar-range comments but does not record a completed financing plan.

Given the unresolved legal and financing questions, a motion to table the contract and related funding action was made and seconded; the transcript records the motion and second but does not include a roll-call tally. The court directed staff to provide legal review, clarify bid/procurement authority under the GEFC approach, and return with financing details before further action.

The record shows the court asked for contingency work and funding approvals to run concurrently with due review, and staff emphasized the need to maintain schedule to avoid delays caused by long material lead times.","Contractor presentation on courthouse windows, insulation, solar and other building-envelope upgrades raised procurement and financing questions; the court motioned to table the matter pending legal review and clarification of funding flows.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6290553,"Carroll County officials review five-year economic development plan; adoption requested",711,439000,1150000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2530854-c1d57b7b9104b6efb5e4bd45857e2ba1&start=439&end=1150","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2530854-c1d57b7b9104b6efb5e4bd45857e2ba1/thumbnail_439000.jpg","/articles/6290553/Carroll-County/Kentucky/Carroll-County-officials-review-five-year-economic-development-plan-adoption-requested","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6290553-158c5916b444ac9e10dae387e91154aa/orig.mp4?Expires=1770903148&Signature=YCPK-fUIhguLi9HgIi~Q7MAQSvgJ2T0TeoA5kfhamLZ-X~yRR~eUxbYEy0vXALGGzLnzMwYzgxv1e~R31ZN5Jy3GgA78RfbyOkWy0fIW7WodV3ZiZ2Jozgd6pwuNKK~hPVn0P53Q0KBU1b9r9ULDy68YB3V7hG~sTO3f5wix7w72kbIMaOWSJfhuK6y6hO2ltEQ7RAGElsNLIuG3ENejUTO7IUIZhQQS5SfBHIg1LUeOOpXItNkJndYpEcB~D6HM5CgtTnCqxC0XdSlj0IylX-Me2bilbXTnOAex6GetAA9s2L7uogB~~0Vvkacf6DdqERF~q2LRdXoF3zXUYHHQqg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Carroll County officials reviewed a draft Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) intended to guide economic growth and to meet federal grant requirements for 2025–2030. Roger, the plan presenter, told the Fiscal Court the document was developed over 14 months and is being submitted for the court’s adoption.

The presenter said the plan’s vision is: “Carroll County plans to support a resilient economy that promotes sustainable growth, innovation, and opportunity, enhancing the quality of life for all citizens of Carroll County through strategic partnerships and investments.” He said the plan frames objectives across economic infrastructure, business climate, emergency preparedness, workforce development and recreation.

The presenter described the process used to build the plan: work sessions held since January 2024 with industry leaders, business owners, elected officials and economic development agencies; a six-month public survey that returned 27 responses; data compilation from U.S. Census sources and a commercial mobility tool identified as Placer AI; and review by magistrates and the judge. He told the court, “we're now at the final review … and they were seeking adoption of this plan by the county today.”

Key goal areas in the draft include strengthening infrastructure and livability (planning and zoning, housing, broadband and utilities, roads and public facilities); supporting business and entrepreneurship (Chamber of Commerce support, incentives, technical services and financing); preparing for disasters and emergency services (financial preparedness, first-responder facilities and transportation resilience); workforce and human-capital development (career-readiness, GED and recovery supports, childcare and connectivity); and promoting natural and recreational assets (facility renovation, Camp Kysock, trails and tourism promotion).

Magistrates and the judge asked procedural questions about making the plan available. The presenter said copies had been provided to magistrates and the judge, and offered to make the plan available as a PDF and to post it on the county website. The transcript records discussion and praise from magistrates but does not include a recorded final vote adopting the plan.

The draft plan states it follows Economic Development Administration guidelines and is intended to help the county secure federal grants that require a current strategy. The presenter emphasized the plan is one step to make the county “presentable to businesses wanting to come into our county” and to secure funding opportunities.

The court did not record a formal adoption vote in the available transcript. The presenter asked for adoption, and county officials discussed distribution and posting; further action or a formal vote may appear in meeting minutes or a subsequent session.","County staff presented a draft five-year Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for 2025–2030, summarizing a 14-month process, community input and priority goals; the court was asked to adopt the plan but no formal adoption vote is recorded in the transcript.","actionData","errors"]
