During the meeting the court approved minutes of the previous meeting (motion from Rick Hostetler; second from Kelly Corman), transfers (motion from Kelly Corman; second from Chad Wallace) and bills and hand checks as presented (motion from David Livingston; second from Rick Hostetler). The minutes record a voice vote with no recorded opposition on those items.

Training and grants
The record noted that Dwayne Ellison and Rob Jones completed their required training; the court briefly recognized their accomplishment.

Fire department travel
Chief John Ward requested authorization for preconstruction travel related to three new apparatus the department ordered: one pumper with a ladder and two additional pumpers. The trip is scheduled May 5–9 to Appleton, Wisconsin, to review specifications and the build process with the manufacturer; attendees will include the chief, the assistant chief and several rank‑and‑file firefighters and officers. The court approved the out‑of‑state travel by voice vote.

Pavilion lighting savings reallocated
County staff reported that Younger Electric completed a pavilion lighting project under budget, leaving $21,605 in remaining funds. Drew (county parks staff) asked the court to reallocate the surplus to other pavilion needs; the court approved reallocation by motion and voice vote. County officials praised the contractor for labor savings and asked staff to identify prioritized uses for the remaining funds.

Other funding and grant notes
Separately, the court acknowledged a CCVIP award (county reference: $969,160) that county staff said will fund work to reopen two bridges (North Race Fork and Mount Horeb). County officials thanked KYTC and other partners for coordination on that grant.

What comes next
Officials said staff will return with timelines for apparatus delivery after the preconstruction meeting and will present proposed uses for the pavilion reallocation at a future work session. The court adjourned after approving the last motions.

The repaving list presented to the court included Morgan Manor Drive; Veil Court; Lena Court (off Morgan Manor Drive); Stonehorse Lane; Cane Run Road; Locust Grove; Suitable Road; Harper Village Drive; Lakeside Drive; and Samford Road. County staff said the combined work amounts to about 12.1 miles and is estimated at approximately $1,200,000 in repaving work.

The decision followed a public reading of the CRA (County Road Aid) and LGA (Local Government Economic Assistance) hearing notice and a county staff recommendation; the court approved the repaving motion by voice vote with no recorded opposition.

Why it matters: the actions allocate county CRA/LGA and rural‑secondary allocations to specific resurfacing and construction projects, affecting scheduling, contractor procurement and cross‑jurisdictional coordination with KYTC.

KYTC representative presentations and county discussion
KYTC staff gave a detailed overview of the Rural Secondary Program and the cabinet’s recommended projects for fiscal year 2026. KYTC said the Rural Secondary Program is a state‑mandated program funded from motor‑fuel tax revenue and administered under Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) formulas; county allocations reflect a formula KYTC described as one‑fifth equal share, one‑fifth rural population and two‑fifths rural land area. The county’s state maintenance rating of B generated a 20% flex allocation for the county under KYTC’s flex program.

KYTC’s district representative described the 2026 recommendation to resurface a portion of Newtown Pike—from roughly a half‑mile in from Fayette County to Coleridge Lane—and said flex funds will be used to match other monies for the Legacy Trail roundabout and that Lyle Road (KY 1963) is a proposed flex‑funded resurfacing item. KYTC also provided a resurfacing cycle estimate (about 19–30 years) and a listing of resurfaced roads over the past decade.

County officials asked KYTC about near‑term deadlines and contractor schedules. KYTC staff said recently awarded FY2025 projects expect construction and to meet a June 30 completion deadline. For a micro‑surfacing project on the west side of US‑460, KYTC explained the routine maintenance approach: milling followed by about three‑quarters of an inch of new surface to extend pavement life, with completion anticipated in September.

Funding, design and timeline notes
KYTC explained that one intersection project (Payne’s Depot/Leestown Road) used Highway Safety Improvement Program funds to advance the design after a prior federal allocation was identified as the wrong funding category; KYTC said the project will seek appropriate federal funding in the next highway plan to enter right‑of‑way and utility phases. On US‑25 (Lexington Road) widening, KYTC said appraisals and right‑of‑way utility phases remain and that the right‑of‑way/utility work could take about two years before full construction, subject to funding and approvals.

Safety concerns and next steps
Scott County Judge Executive Joe Pat Covington noted recent collisions at the McClellan Circle/Pleasant View intersection, including a recent fatal crash, and asked KYTC to prioritize analysis and safety options. KYTC reiterated that it favors an R‑cut (a restricted movement cut) over signalization at that location and said it will engage the developer and county about possible contributions if developer commitments included safety improvements.

Formal actions and votes
The Fiscal Court approved the county repaving recommendation and separately approved the KYTC Rural Secondary Program recommendation and the flex recommendation for FY2026–27. Each motion passed by voice vote with no opposition recorded in the meeting minutes.

What comes next
KYTC said unspent allocations will carry over to the next fiscal year if projects are not completed in the year allocated, and the county and KYTC will continue right‑of‑way, utility and design work for multi‑year projects. The court’s next budget work session will review broader budget and capital plans; specific project scheduling will follow KYTC’s right‑of‑way and construction timelines.

","The Scott County Fiscal Court approved about 12.1 miles of repaving (roughly $1.2 million), confirmed Kentucky Transportation Cabinet rural‑secondary recommendations for FY2026 and approved use of flex funds for FY2026–27, while KYTC outlined timelines and safety work on several county corridors.","actionData","errors"]
