The court heard presentations from John Welsh of Bob Allen Fleet and from representatives of local dealerships who urged caution about certain lease structures.

John Welsh, representing Bob Allen Fleet, described leasing as appropriate for vehicles with low annual mileage and noted market-value swings that can make some lease outcomes favorable or unfavorable depending on used-vehicle pricing at lease termination. He warned that open-end leases carry risk at contract end if auction values fall below the forecast used to calculate payments.

\"What they didn't tell you was that the vehicle may sell for less,\" Welsh said, explaining open-end leases where the lessee can be responsible for a shortfall after auction.

Local dealer representatives stressed local maintenance, pickup and delivery and community ties. A Powell dealership representative said dealers can match fleet pricing and provide local service and flexible ownership options, arguing that the county keeps economic value in the community when it buys locally.

Court members and staff asked for more information about the composition and age of the existing fleet, mileage profiles and repair costs for older vehicles. Finance staff and the court asked dealers to provide proposals tied to the county's current inventory and to outline closed-end lease options and local maintenance arrangements. The court did not vote on a procurement model at the meeting and asked staff to deliver fleet inventory and repair-cost details to the two dealerships that presented.

Ending: The court asked the vendors to return with specific, apples-to-apples proposals and directed staff to compile vehicle-age, mileage and repair-cost records for follow-up.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Boyle County Regular Fiscal Court Meeting - April 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","County staff and two local dealerships discussed options for county vehicle acquisition, weighing outright purchases, closed-end leases and open-end programs.

\"This free service will monitor public filings, provide timely updates to those who sign up, offering peace of mind and extra layer of security,\" McCollie said, describing the system and the sign-up steps. She demonstrated how residents can register by entering the name as it appears on their deed or mortgage and an email address on the county website; the system will email alerts when matching deeds or mortgages are filed.

McCollie said the service is provided through the county's vendor, Software Management, which also hosts the county records database. She emphasized that users should enter their name exactly as it appears on records (including middle initial if that is how it appears) and noted the clerk's office can help residents verify the form of their names in county records.

Court members and attendees raised practical questions about elderly residents and people who need extra help signing up; McCollie said paper instructions will be available at the clerk's office and staff will assist in person or by phone. She also discussed how the system works with neighboring counties using the same vendor: residents who own property in more than one county must sign up separately with each county that uses the vendor.

McCollie said the tool is not a guarantee that fraud won't happen but provides a timely alert that can help property owners act faster if a suspicious filing appears.

Ending: The clerk encouraged residents to sign up on the county website or to visit the clerk's office for help; no court vote was required for the demonstration.","County Clerk Casey McCollie demonstrated DocAlert, a free service that notifies property owners by email when deeds or mortgages are filed in their name and explained how residents can sign up via the county website.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6570872,"Boyle County health official reports steady tax rate, warns of new drug threats and rising Narcan needs",624,411000,1035000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3807170-156f99e301f403b7ba0dfa2dbea34064&start=411&end=1035","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3807170-156f99e301f403b7ba0dfa2dbea34064/thumbnail_411000.jpg","/articles/6570872/Boyle-County/Kentucky/Boyle-County-health-official-reports-steady-tax-rate-warns-of-new-drug-threats-and-rising-Narcan-needs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6570872-fd65dece83f9000f4de44dac71878a9a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771162782&Signature=KgeqV-p2Ejuvum4f061u65MEEA1e5iJ3qFZ4vBolVPiK7uCJc2c9Y6cwcl8q95Hx9a8IWlFGAbHUDZBT4Z4KKm77VBFbHyv58xIpHcmL1j6kG~rqhIFWV~8Hj1mtPWttHX8v1XS9tAi1d8C1IcsZri1jjOJL-0yar-bcqRsCRgT-Pb2~pedRQACyOjmSUMYhRnt2T5iCbuZ04h0qzxuSWq-fMcKriVVDr6DxNLbCsKolDw2LfOGObyCBONBk9xjtCr3hshveWRLcJrkc5qC7gvdX3wytuTZWfYu1dlnl2tGDbnB-3eL19lLQoxzFk1GKXbVnJCV3hfnMoCnemEGjhQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Brent Lehi, a health department staff member, told the Boyle County Fiscal Court on April 22 that the county's property tax rate will remain unchanged at 3.6 percent and gave an update on local public-health finances and harm-reduction work.

Lehi said the department carries roughly a $4.5 million liability to the Kentucky Retirement System that will persist over the next 27'28 years and that the department maintains a surplus to cover future retirement obligations for current and future staff. He also told the court the state allocated approximately $77,000 of COVID-related funding to the health department this year, money the department expects may disappear in future budgets.

The core of Lehi's presentation focused on overdose response and new substances appearing in the local drug supply. He listed fentanyl and xylazine and warned about a more potent sedative he called nidazine. \"If they're gonna use, I'd rather do that than show up at our door with the Xylazine literally with their skin coming off their bone,\" Lehi said, describing severe wounds clinicians have seen. He outlined harm-reduction steps the department is taking, including distribution of test strips and naloxone (Narcan).

Lehi said naloxone remains effective when an overdose is opioid-based, but that current cases often require multiple doses. \"Now it's not uncommon you get up 3, 4, 5 doses that it's taking for somebody just for it to keep them functioning till EMS can get to them,\" he said, adding that local supplies have become cheaper per dose but remain dependent on an outside program run by the University of Kentucky for a large share of the free product the county distributes.

Lehi also described a local hotel-room program that used COVID funding to shelter symptomatic people for short stays. \"That money is gone. We used every bit of it,\" he said, noting the program helped get people into contact with harm-reduction staff and, in some cases, into treatment.

Court members asked practical questions about naloxone storage and expiration and whether test strips are distributed directly to people who use drugs; Lehi confirmed distribution is intended to reach people who use drugs. He also recommended local officials carry multiple doses in cars and patrol cars given the frequency of high-dose responses.

Lehi closed by noting the department is tracking about 100 reportable diseases and urged continued investment in public-health capacity.

Ending: The Fiscal Court took Lehi's report as informational; no court action was taken on the health department budget numbers during the session.","A Boyle County health official told the fiscal court the local tax rate will remain at 3.6% and described rising demands on overdose response and harm-reduction services as new drugs appear in the supply. He also summarized the department's long-term retirement liability and recent COVID-related spending.","actionData","errors"]
