The Knott County Fiscal Court meeting on April 15, 2024, focused on several key issues, including repairs to the Knott County Sportsplex and the management of surplus properties.

A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to addressing damages at the Sportsplex. The court discussed the need to advertise for engineering services to assess and repair the facility. A motion was made and approved to seek bids for both engineering services and contractor work to complete the necessary repairs. This decision aims to expedite the restoration of the Sportsplex, which is a vital community resource.

Additionally, the court plans to meet with the Knott County Youth Foundation to discuss the damages and explore options for partial ownership of the Sportsplex property. This collaboration is intended to clarify responsibilities and ensure the facility's future operation.

The meeting also touched on the topic of surplus properties affected by flooding. The court reviewed a list of properties that may need to be declared surplus, allowing for potential sale or repurposing. This step is part of ongoing efforts to manage county resources effectively.

Overall, the discussions highlighted the court's commitment to addressing community infrastructure needs and managing county assets responsibly. The next steps will involve moving forward with the engineering bids and engaging with the Youth Foundation to resolve ownership issues.
