On the Millville sewer-line project, the court approved a request to extend the request-for-proposals advertisement by two additional weeks and to run one more advertisement; the motion was presented to ensure firms have adequate time to prepare proposals for engineering services.

The court ratified an earlier email approval of a PMC Bank claim for $14,594.11, and ratified an email approval for a Visa claim and an Axon Enterprises Inc. claim of $7,604.28 for the sheriff’s office (the Visa amount in the minutes is recorded as $2,570.07). The court also approved transfers and noted it may use email approvals near quarter-end for some future transfers.

Director of EMS requested out-of-state travel to transport a county vehicle to the manufacturer’s factory for warranty repairs; the manufacturer will reimburse travel costs and ship the vehicle back after repairs. The court approved the out‑of‑state travel request.

The court approved an amended resolution reflecting the budgeted amount of $15,000 for transportation of nonpublic school children for the 2024–25 year, and approved facility use of Falling Springs Recreation Center and Community Stadium for the May 24, 2025 project-graduation event for the county’s high school seniors.

Budget and Finance reported it reviewed preliminary budgets and recommended conditional approval for three applicants in the young and new farmer grant program. The court formalized that recommendation on a motion by Squire Brown, seconded by Squire Varner. The court also approved the committee’s recommendation that when applicants are under 18, a parent or guardian may serve as the signatory on the grant agreement; that recommendation was adopted unanimously.

The committee reported two applications were submitted after the program deadline; the committee recommended denial of those late submissions and the court ratified that recommendation. The judge thanked the county clerk for communications with applicants and staff on the program.

Separately, the court ratified the committee’s earlier email approval of the first round of disbursements for the program by voice vote.

Court members emphasized the timeline for budget meetings and said the Budget and Finance Committee will continue meeting before each fiscal court meeting until the second reading of the county budget.","The court ratified conditional approvals for three young and new farmer grant applications, allowed parental signatures for under‑18 applicants, and affirmed denials for late submissions.",{"_33":85,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":86,"_41":87,"_43":88,"_45":89,"_47":90,"_49":91,"_51":92,"_53":93,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":94,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":95,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6624504,"Fiscal Court tables ordinance-committee recommendations on in-family conveyances after debate",448,1867000,2315000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2766007-843167a669e8b1071b12140333676903&start=1867&end=2315","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2766007-843167a669e8b1071b12140333676903/thumbnail_1867000.jpg","/articles/6624504/Woodford-County/Kentucky/Fiscal-Court-tables-ordinance-committee-recommendations-on-in-family-conveyances-after-debate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6624504-8bc73d1a0af01af5d2705824c9d49a70/orig.mp4?Expires=1771197876&Signature=O~zjVW1ml1~0BWPZeJ76W~vbJMFMOng5V9JbMPl-8b9spEfCX2fpJ6CvPdIu66njLiUAr63qyz9Aobz5t9AgWN44MMqGJri4DI3KH86-5QUOypcaBdzwRfRcC27zwNKwlB1SyiVV7RhBZEjmLqbGqarOPjzBOk1hS6tdUydZ5scMELJ2isItnlPsF4TVS01a2SOlkYPn3K2hWs0gjDZ7OuyP9g6IWjPVc0iRUdroDOHcHxtxLqE4s9iamHz3P2rnLg4fLN5a3PkiAWCwIigVGHDhY2NsnePeEyTDsE-JOjpH4ZTE8oK-nxPW9WSqaUspiLyl9IfxC7rhTNnNvbp~Pw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Woodford County Fiscal Court voted 5–3 to lay on the table proposed zoning text amendments and ordinance-committee recommendations addressing in-family conveyances, delaying a decision so magistrates could gather constituent feedback.

Squire Gill presented the ordinance committee’s recommendations to return the proposed amendments to the Planning Commission with conditions. The recommendations included that applicants be Woodford County residents; that an affidavit attest parcels are being used consistent with agricultural use; and minimum parcel requirements: no in‑family conveyance from farm parcels under 35 acres, one conveyance permitted for 35–49‑acre parcels, and two conveyances for 50 acres and above. The committee also proposed an in‑family lot minimum of five acres with legal frontage, a 10‑year residency requirement for both primary and conveyance parcels after deed recordation, and that conveyances be limited to parent→child or grandparent→grandchild transfers. Gill moved the recommendations to the full court.

During discussion, some magistrates urged more time to collect constituent input, and one magistrate said a five-acre minimum felt arbitrary in some cases and could adversely affect applicants. After procedural exchanges, a motion to lay the committee report on the table passed with a roll call announced by the judge as 5 in favor and 3 opposed.

The judge explained that removing the item from the table in a future meeting would require a majority vote of the court. The ordinance committee’s report will remain tabled until a future court meeting where members may vote to take it up again or dispose of the committee’s recommendations.","After committee recommended multiple restrictions for in-family conveyances, including acreage minimums and residency requirements, the full fiscal court voted 5–3 to lay the committee's recommendations on the table for further review.",{"_33":97,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":98,"_41":99,"_43":100,"_45":101,"_47":102,"_49":103,"_51":104,"_53":105,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":106,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":107,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6624508,"Woodford Fiscal Court authorizes county attorney to withdraw bid to add PBMs to opioid lawsuits",592,2864000,3456000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2766007-843167a669e8b1071b12140333676903&start=2864&end=3456","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2766007-843167a669e8b1071b12140333676903/thumbnail_2864000.jpg","/articles/6624508/Woodford-County/Kentucky/Woodford-Fiscal-Court-authorizes-county-attorney-to-withdraw-bid-to-add-PBMs-to-opioid-lawsuits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6624508-9748bc30f2a5cc8b5908c5ed09dbd10c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771197876&Signature=YyW-miPjSY52CFVmApV~2pkTJlTVGnit06B~NxmGhOBXPVisyCFQfEMLD1MFChZu85I-m8nSLQL1EFDOwGjiVlXCVC~C7UCG3i1giBbqmODmc1R7czIL6WtGyYY4EaanwP15CrU9tP5uIP9U32MooiKRBLese~QglFvhc5wlpDCjSW1vv-CfiKqh5Y7gzOzLnqoySO~L5rWH0uQVJD3GkG-uq8-lHL~FogIig2mwMdN9A4Dj-EtWDj8j8KvFYfNF4lMh8JEBuxMA9XhVuQi-GRdTBsCCG-~~5xgvyJ7Zn0L5Hlsi54MkTxoRjlY0YkcG7Pgd~mf8GX2ywrDlWGkXNg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Woodford County Fiscal Court unanimously authorized the county attorney to withdraw a request for leave to add pharmacy benefit managers, commonly known as PBMs, as defendants in the county’s ongoing opioid-related litigation.

County Attorney (unnamed in transcript) told the court the consortium of plaintiff attorneys had asked smaller political subdivisions to withdraw their motions to add PBMs because the resource demands and discovery obligations could hamper the broader litigation. The attorney said the county had to decide quickly and explained the trade-offs: staying in might increase the county’s direct involvement, including depositions and heavy discovery obligations, and could expose the county to sanctions if discovery was not produced to a judge’s satisfaction; withdrawing could preserve the county’s ability to benefit from a national settlement negotiated by larger plaintiffs while avoiding prolonged, resource-intensive litigation.

The county attorney summarized risks and benefits: adding PBMs could lead to extended litigation and potential bellwether selection requiring intensive participation, while withdrawing could result in the county receiving allocations from a national settlement even if it was no longer a named plaintiff. The attorney noted the county had already responded to open-records requests and could expect more such requests if it remained a moving party.

Esquire Gentry moved to authorize the county attorney to sign the withdrawal form; Esquire Brown seconded the motion. The judge called for a voice vote and announced the motion carried unanimously.

Court members asked questions about accountability and distribution. One magistrate said they wanted PBMs held accountable if wrongdoing was proven; the county attorney and judge replied their recommendation was intended to preserve the best chance of a larger settlement while avoiding the risk that many small governments proceeding would undermine litigation momentum.

The county attorney said he would submit the withdrawal immediately after the meeting and noted that, if settlements do not follow, the county could consider refiling later subject to statute-of-limitations risks and procedural constraints.","Facing discovery risks and potential bellwether obligations, the court unanimously authorized the county attorney to withdraw Woodford County’s motion seeking leave to add pharmacy benefit managers as defendants in ongoing opioid litigation.",{"_33":109,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":110,"_41":111,"_43":112,"_45":113,"_47":114,"_49":115,"_51":116,"_53":117,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":118,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":119,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6624512,"Woodford Fiscal Court approves land-use agreement to host FEMA disaster-recovery center",235,1365000,1600000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2766007-843167a669e8b1071b12140333676903&start=1365&end=1600","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2766007-843167a669e8b1071b12140333676903/thumbnail_1365000.jpg","/articles/6624512/Woodford-County/Kentucky/Woodford-Fiscal-Court-approves-land-use-agreement-to-host-FEMA-disaster-recovery-center","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6624512-eb3de54e3e2bc390ffd3678ea124026c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771197876&Signature=VjfDgGy2Kyhd5AmIw0wXZCAhUivgHSVR5EEm2KlX9yuNtULPr-2vI4LEulyniqktjqfectrUFX4T82SRVoSZlDHOK-USyL1rx9G590XIcMzYTeAXavkEGcH4ZdQ6Ap6Fv7YdffUmaxkP0hlvjevrFbrtifH8M0MWnVk-0Rd284qVZ6O9UNXSvwuQORh8bqs2I8b--PYY8zx0C8SXaEn8amQ13oQT5WhkYusX8YN2JdkGhI5OSVE3YJsSZK-1uJQzC11fxelS57z29JWWdg6F6GxKhjPgam6xsaCMZ03zQISWcEGRiwa5h3Ez2Zq5azX8SrRuACrWxzLOJA~lkTEZNw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Woodford County Fiscal Court unanimously approved a land-use agreement allowing the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and local partners to establish a temporary disaster-recovery center at the county senior center to assist residents affected by recent flooding.

The court’s action, moved by Squire Downey and seconded by Squire Blackford, came after a FEMA representative described operations the agency will provide locally. The representative said, “we're gonna have disaster survivor assistance on the ground…they're the ones that go door to door and try to specifically reach out to the underserved portions of the society,” adding that the center will also host application specialists, the Small Business Administration, Red Cross and hazard-mitigation personnel.

Court and FEMA officials said the center will have a small footprint at the senior center and is intended to make federal assistance more accessible to residents who lack internet access or have poor connectivity in flood-damaged areas. The FEMA representative told the court the center will likely open with a soft opening and then operate extended hours — typically 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and reduced hours on Sundays — and that the footprint is expected to remain “generally for 30 days,” subject to state direction.

Judge (presiding) asked for the agreement after FEMA reported the county was among 16 Kentucky counties declared for federal assistance. The court approved the land-use agreement by voice vote; the judge announced the motion carried unanimously.

County officials said the center could also host representatives related to an expedited buyout program, contingent on Kentucky Emergency Management and other approvals. FEMA noted limited cell and internet service in low-lying river areas and said door-to-door outreach teams have been focusing on older residents and those without computers.

The court did not set a specific start date in the meeting; FEMA representatives said a soft opening could follow a build-out as soon as the week after the agreement is executed. Officials asked residents to watch for updates from county and state partners about the center's opening and hours.

Funding, operations and the duration of the center will be coordinated among FEMA, KYEM and the county; FEMA said it will follow state direction on when to demobilize the site.","Woodford County Fiscal Court unanimously approved a land-use agreement allowing FEMA and partner agencies to operate a temporary disaster-recovery center at the county senior center following recent flooding.","actionData","errors"]
