A presenter said the bill allows voluntary licensing, inspections at the sheriff's office, and that farmers are exempt from the requirement. The presenter said licensing could increase county revenue through associated fees and insurance requirements; they discussed that riders could potentially travel into neighboring counties that have passed similar measures.

Commissioners asked questions about the insurance requirement, with the presenter saying the policy would likely be a limited liability policy and stating the licensing would be optional for those who prefer not to register. The presenter offered to move forward with local adoption and said, \"I'll make a motion,\" but the meeting transcript does not record a formal vote or the precise text of a passed motion.

Because the transcript ends the item without a recorded roll call or explicit outcome, the record here notes the discussion and the presence of a motion offer but does not assert a final decision.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Owsley County Fiscal Court Meeting - April 14, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Board members reviewed a state bill that permits counties to license side-by-side off-road vehicles, discussed inspection and insurance requirements and noted farmers's exemptions.

The presenter outlined a vendor event in May, a larger buy-sell-trade day in June and Hangleboom Days on July 5 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. They asked the county to consider the same level of support for fireworks and entertainment as in prior years; the presenter said the county provided $3,000 last year and discussed amounts for this year.

The presenter also proposed the county purchase a PA system for use at county-sponsored events and by local performers, saying some visiting musicians lack their own equipment. The presenter said a system was available used for about $3 (transcript garbled) and that a system rated to reach approximately 500 people could be obtained for \"around $5\" (transcript fragmented). The presenter asked the commission whether the county would prefer to buy, borrow, or share a system with the city to avoid hauling equipment between locations.

Commissioners and attendees asked logistical questions about charging fees for vendor booths (the presenter said a $10 fee was being considered to cover electricity and other costs) and whether facilities such as bathrooms and electricity at the Lewis and Bill site would accommodate larger events.

The commission did not record a formal vote to allocate funds for fireworks or a PA system during the portion of the transcript provided; the presenter said she would follow up with additional details and cost confirmations.","A county tourism representative described planned May and June vendor/trade days and Hangleboom Days on July 5, asked the commission for fireworks support and raised the possibility of the county purchasing a PA system for use at public events.",{"_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},6600771,"Owsley County commissioners approve routine finance, roads and facilities items",119,121000,240000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3020630-216780be24c1060299d01181e7f431f7&start=121&end=240","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3020630-216780be24c1060299d01181e7f431f7/thumbnail_121000.jpg","/articles/6600771/Owsley-County/Kentucky/Owsley-County-commissioners-approve-routine-finance-roads-and-facilities-items","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6600771-e9bc54e5af1994b9169e5b8e5f7b7bcc/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442876&Signature=b0OQcuu7RZUnj-KfurpjNAil~intdvNz5MscExYuEpmuyKNaO~GzDSIjnwBVNapsjVmi1ZaKMzrPxFa9Iwu0x1tcBPpXDkt7TR6PPQsiZqif3apjUzmhibMzakFwyI2jWH5IyNPQoi-qYrZL8gwbwFZKNnvv5RzGyLmOVnwIV2uunrMV9RLB6m--~KsIwK2jdJYBbk41IsyH680WnXulbyVxDSU8IRFluerLReQi1Rw7m6ZkN5hEOgOeYKMZEuW9uyCc7lEMdN43Gaso~rPMq~CsbQPiHEyTmWTkTMyvA1Htx4zTlYquWUc85EJfwIIObRJaPOX1HDdmZ4fP5Bi-gA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Owsley County commissioners approved a series of routine administrative and capital items during a recent meeting, accepting the monthly treasurer's report and approving actions on roads, building repairs and a right-of-way purchase.

The commissioners accepted the treasurer's report, which listed fund balances including a general fund balance of $319,626.53, a road fund balance of $1,692,578.29 and an EK Safe fund balance of $1,021,154.54. The treasurer identified additional balances for smaller funds, including an opioid fund balance of $92,125 and a solid waste fund balance of $49,591.45.

The court also approved the county's inclusion in the state secondary roads program allocation list and accepted the state's proposed projects, which the presenter summarized as producing about $335,000 in work with the county's share for local blacktop estimated at $204,972. Commissioners moved and seconded the motion and approved it by voice vote.

A contractor bid to update the courthouse elevator was discussed; presenters said the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) had previously agreed to pay half the cost. The board voted to proceed with the accepted bid but asked staff to confirm AOC's commitment before spending county funds.

The commission approved a proposal to remove the existing memorial wall at the courthouse and build a replacement across the street. The bid amount read into the record was $16,217.62.

A motion to purchase a right-of-way from landowner Eda Lamb on Big Springs Road (Ponderosa Lane area) was approved. The presenter said the county would buy the right-of-way through Lamb's property for $2,500 and would record the deed once finalized.

The court passed a resolution to accept County Road Aid funding, a presenter said the distribution discussed totaled approximately $490,000 and would be paid in installments; commissioners approved the resolution by voice vote.

Other routine financial actions passed included several interfund transfers (including to the solid-waste/transfer station) and approval of accounts payable. For items offered as motions, the transcript records voice approvals (\"Aye\") rather than roll-call tallies.

The meeting closed routine business and moved on to other agenda items.","At a regular meeting, Owsley County officials accepted the monthly treasurer's report and approved a package of routine motions involving road projects, an elevator repair bid, a memorial wall replacement and a right-of-way purchase. Several items were voice-voted; detailed roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript.","actionData","errors"]
