The court tabled the request pending additional information and directed staff to bring a report on unpaid balances.

Chris (county staff) explained that the county uses a third‑party billing company that engages its own collection agency. In this case the collection agency reported a cease‑and‑desist order from the individual, and the collector asked whether it should file suit. Staff said the county does not directly control the collection agency — the billing company does — and that the account in question was relatively small.

Magistrates debated whether allowing suits for small balances might create a precedent that encourages nonpayment; one magistrate noted that if small balances were never pursued, people might stop paying larger bills. Others preferred local, negotiated agreements rather than outsourcing collection. Several magistrates asked staff to prepare an aggregate report of outstanding balances (recommended look‑back of three years) and to propose a dollar threshold for when the county should support legal proceedings.

The court did not authorize litigation and tabled the request. Staff agreed to return with a report summarizing outstanding balances, why accounts are unpaid (where known), and recommendations for a policy or threshold to guide future action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Scott County Fiscal Court | April 11th, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Scott County Fiscal Court tabled a request from a collection agency — contracted to a billing company — to file suit on an unpaid ambulance account and asked staff to produce a report on outstanding receivables and propose a policy threshold.","taxTitle","Scott County, Kentucky","taxId",55607,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6077033,"Justice Center/EMS building behind schedule as court hears ongoing glass vendor delays",299,3564000,3863000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2966349-bc2586f95233ba9c76d1cc89399c43a6&start=3564&end=3863","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2966349-bc2586f95233ba9c76d1cc89399c43a6/thumbnail_3564000.jpg","/articles/6077033/Scott-County/Kentucky/Justice-CenterEMS-building-behind-schedule-as-court-hears-ongoing-glass-vendor-delays","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6077033-687bd30d3c84f6fb8e516eabac00f988/orig.mp4?Expires=1770409837&Signature=ggrlVG5oCSAEI7-d4pR3NgikC-TtI8qX39Z0YtO9UChYYHBX5Pszdm~uELn1s2t2l9a3GVE8kO1~vCKfpNIhSyejk7jrGEINEdxba26YduGOcDcqnopzwToSNTKrH8LVFS~pWpI39og3ARwgJ0n0zjhiDdt7SWSErA9TMm8Ebu5oKZqRbDVdoETI0nClHvw8~7QQDcK2d0alX3s5HCiHv-oxplpI5OMJWbDgRKRflJGyjG8ocM1ySbu4K9w~DTc5p~3gtVKDzbwxD9jYr86jwOFsZ0JUBg5N8CRB0TdaLKnUbb7Kg0E9elTkuYFV9CNjf0V1ud6X2R54xjl2dTRxpQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County staff and magistrates on April 11 discussed lingering delays in installing exterior and ballistic glass at the county's Justice Center/EMS facility, with the project now approaching substantial completion dates that have been moved into May and June.

Rob Jones and others reported a meeting with project staff; officials said the glass vendor has repeatedly promised deliveries that have not arrived. The court expressed frustration that deliveries and installation remain incomplete despite a year‑old construction timeline. Staff said engineers and inspectors will only certify and recommend payment for work approved as complete.

Magistrates asked whether the county could withhold payments to force vendor compliance; staff said payment is tied to certified completion by the architect/engineer (Brancher and Carroll) and that contract terms and shop drawings drive fabrication timelines. One magistrate noted similar glass lead‑time problems on another local project, suggesting the issue may be industry‑wide.

No formal action was taken; staff said they will continue to press the vendor, update the court and explore contractual remedies. The transcript shows the court continuing to track the project schedule and noting the complexity of ordering fabricated glass after field verification.","County officials reported continued delays installing exterior glass at the new Justice Center/EMS facility; contractors blame vendor lead times and the court is exploring contractual and payment options to address the hold‑up.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6077038,"Votes at a glance: Scott County Fiscal Court actions, April 11, 2025",2698,452000,3150000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2966349-bc2586f95233ba9c76d1cc89399c43a6&start=452&end=3150","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2966349-bc2586f95233ba9c76d1cc89399c43a6/thumbnail_452000.jpg","/articles/6077038/Scott-County/Kentucky/Votes-at-a-glance-Scott-County-Fiscal-Court-actions-April-11-2025","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6077038-31469ae208878a3a85d852090d27aabf/orig.mp4?Expires=1770409837&Signature=QaVwVC90~Gjcig-x1Ytx6IdOHq5gT~lxRsJPeUSspKHNyH4T8SXRjf9nWOvCgOCh0BA3OxUq2~hrMVQh-TbaVwPUIsgtSskKoVk1Tmbdtb9iFkJ0FhccVLudbw8u77TQq50ufh0XlGVFh4uhdilxMrxym5tALd3gL75gOFltQw0Svxp0gB~eYj1BDBRB3ZOhXqyJD7z95afa2yYifSy~0gXNME0tJ~njV8DKBMVvShDFIaASn85iHOs1fIor0C2f811VDsdWPg7R9-dUDS9sP9FoZK8B6uQz8fjWCNBEab2YiSpR9fhaEhcDVgmhQ3qyxquqQJKgrWz6sqtcTW6zRg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Scott County Fiscal Court took multiple procedural and substantive actions on April 11.

Cam (county staff) told the court that a proposed arrangement with Net Recovery Corporation would provide roughly $1,000 per month for 12 months for digital outreach, plus an estimated $3,000 for graphic production and related work. Cam said he had discussed the plan with Crystal Miller, who would oversee or coordinate implementation.

Magistrates discussed possibilities for involving local high‑school students or county staff in creative work; one magistrate suggested the health department partner with local students for content creation. Dwayne Sexton moved to approve the allocation and Rob Jones seconded; the court approved the $15,000 allocation on a voice vote with no recorded opposition.

The resolution authorizing the CPF application (a separate agenda item) was discussed earlier in the meeting; this allocation uses opioid settlement funds for public education about treatment resources and naloxone availability rather than for direct clinical services, according to staff.

Why it matters: the funding is intended to increase public awareness of local overdose‑response resources and to support distribution of information about the county's NET device. Officials said the dollars would pay for sustained digital outreach and a limited amount of print work over 12 months.

Details and oversight: staff said there is no required match for the work; staff will provide more information on deliverables and report back. The motion passed by voice vote; no roll‑call tally was recorded.","Scott County Fiscal Court approved a $15,000 allocation of opioid settlement funds for digital marketing and outreach through Net Recovery Corporation to promote local overdose‑response resources over the next 12 months.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6077048,"Fiscal Court backs right‑in/right‑out access point for McClellan Circle; contingent on KYTC and local approvals",418,598000,1016000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2966349-bc2586f95233ba9c76d1cc89399c43a6&start=598&end=1016","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2966349-bc2586f95233ba9c76d1cc89399c43a6/thumbnail_598000.jpg","/articles/6077048/Scott-County/Kentucky/Fiscal-Court-backs-rightinrightout-access-point-for-McClellan-Circle-contingent-on-KYTC-and-local-approvals","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6077048-da413669411cba30b1a2fb0d7eeeaf82/orig.mp4?Expires=1770409837&Signature=LplgiqKbf5eaBEj-OaxagNB--8CfxFTJ~mubMrVyXuLWmd-ziXH3YSlSy9DGRWB5bOw-SxdoT1VeQ0CRxnXQxAiPZoq7ehBMM6GVoOBYr~t5ed2B4EY6J0lGp-o5fKj33ITF5nJ-j20jpc1gqyqT3tEgtb3yXOeBAPcptO59jCjGYu-hnC0vTjwDCj7aIy9XX-5RG~9KY9eJO9iP3oVUEBSblC5zfNeYeg-dtNxujFB8JXrPf73wDCCxFqlbrJ8-bn1HODvv9xZSTEiQD-fo8kwNOjV4xc1Ole55IRqUYT2TkN0pxm81FUTLDoR4yyTaq0mmBkKt8FC0cIcTLyKPEw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Scott County Fiscal Court on April 11 approved a resolution expressing support for a proposed right‑in/right‑out access point on McClellan Circle to serve the Georgetown Commons development.

The resolution — numbered 2025‑04 and read into the record by county staff — says the court supports the access point described in the development's preliminary plan but ties final approval to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), the Georgetown‑Scott County Planning Commission and the Georgetown City Council.

The matter drew questions from magistrates about whether the opening would allow left turns. Holden Fleming of planning and zoning said the applicant proposed a left‑turn lane but that “we don't believe that KYTC is in support of that, and so we have not recommended that either.” Cam (county staff) added that the court's action was limited to approving the entry point and that “KYTC will dictate and mandate what is done on that road.”

Magistrates discussed accident history at other nearby access points and the county's past conversations with KYTC about alternate designs such as an R‑cut at Pleasant View. Several members said the state typically controls whether signals or left‑turn provisions are allowed at sites on the bypass.

The court approved the resolution without recorded roll‑call tallies; the record shows a voice vote in favor and no recorded opposition. The resolution specifies that final implementation is contingent on KYTC approval and final development plan approval by the Georgetown‑Scott County Planning Commission and Georgetown City Council, as required by Georgetown ordinance 86‑11 (as amended).

The vote took place after staff read the resolution; the court asked the record to reflect that Magistrate David Livingston joined the meeting before the vote was completed.

Why it matters: the access point would serve a new mixed‑use development and could change traffic patterns on McClellan Circle and nearby commercial intersections. The county's formal support clears a local step, but state review and city council approval remain necessary before construction can proceed.

Additional details: the resolution references the Georgetown Commons preliminary development plan (PDP‑2024‑48) and incorporates an Exhibit A describing the proposed entry. The county's support is expressly conditioned on KYTC review and on final approvals by the planning commission and city council.","Scott County Fiscal Court approved a resolution supporting a right‑in/right‑out access point on McClellan Circle to serve the Georgetown Commons development; final design and any left‑turn provisions remain subject to Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and local approvals.","actionData","errors"]
