A motion by Commissioner Mike, seconded by Commissioner Zach, to approve replacement of four scoop stretchers and four pediatric backboards at the cost shown in the packet passed. During the meeting a cost figure was read from the materials as \"$67.91 and 96¢\"; the clerk and staff indicated the quoted units are still serviceable but replacements were recommended because of age and corrosion.

County staff told the court that the county previously paid higher rates to other counties and that Bullitt County offered a lower price. The county estimated savings of roughly $4,000 per month if average nightly inmate counts remain around the current average of about 1,000 inmate nights per month as discussed in the meeting.

A motion by Commissioner Dan, seconded by Commissioner Zach, to approve the agreement passed by voice vote. Judge Travis said the contract will reduce detention costs and noted the jailer in Bullitt County had already agreed to the arrangement.

The court did not amend other contract terms during the meeting; county staff said the agreement will run for one year and staff will monitor costs and inmate volumes.","The Fiscal Court approved a one-year contract with Bullitt County to house Spencer County inmates at a rate of $32 per prisoner per day, replacing a higher-cost arrangement and reducing detention costs.",{"_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},6183397,"Spencer County approves up to $50,000 to pave recycling center area and related parking",373,4072000,4445000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5097279-f15dfea1bd6b0147f12e3ad91ae57f31&start=4072&end=4445","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5097279-f15dfea1bd6b0147f12e3ad91ae57f31/thumbnail_4072000.jpg","/articles/6183397/Spencer-County/Kentucky/Spencer-County-approves-up-to-50000-to-pave-recycling-center-area-and-related-parking","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183397-734cf4e7672ecc4dbfa470f5a18323e7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185668&Signature=LT-fOuFGKMxriYPc0is3q-g8wBa9bZ95e4SbkUaORIv3APYYSq7tvnYEIJjKkP2vWtjdnRUqQVesLX50G9-lNQcAzE-xyFrQKrgBDv5HAylhkGaJGkHeSusVwyCfkOGhmlHqj4evqEO4594CV-v6eVKMthl5v4DQQTihHNeMomNvnpoXFsMo3NGD2wAflVjPy3SXI6PnpXY1iCRuM1oDcJkt-pNLmKtYd8Sum7uzIX~bCSKcAdWEtB2vDYJco5eX-FO~zCneEtyidM977gUt3QsoLzi5txk7tUmno7hM-UVJOcdD7k-JmJmb7s0B0loHwf8Big~eCpGzCLyFu3Tatg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Spencer County Fiscal Court on May 19 approved a motion to blacktop the recycling center parking area and related surfaces, authorizing county staff to proceed with work not to exceed $50,000.

County Judge Scott Travis described bids received for blacktopping the recycling site and adjacent parking, and presented a site map showing Spears Lane, the recycling center and the EMS garage parking. The court discussed scope options and additional tonnage for the work; a contractor estimate in the meeting materials put a total for one configuration at roughly $50,100 and an additional $7,000 for another section in front of the EMS garage.

After discussion about funding sources and whether specific city streets should be included, the court approved a motion by Commissioner Mike, seconded by Commissioner Zach, to proceed with paving work \"not to exceed $50,000,\" excluding some city-owned streets, and to take the money from capital project lines. The motion passed by voice vote.

Judge Travis said staff will coordinate contract details, that the county may count some previous capital project balances toward the work, and that the project would be scheduled promptly to use fiscal-year pricing in the contractor's bid.","Fiscal Court approved a not-to-exceed $50,000 expenditure to blacktop the recycling center area and adjacent parking, with details to be finalized and work to be allocated from capital project funds.",{"_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},6183403,"Spencer County adopts resolution to pursue Land and Water Conservation Fund grant for Ray Jewel park work",332,2584000,2916000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5097279-f15dfea1bd6b0147f12e3ad91ae57f31&start=2584&end=2916","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5097279-f15dfea1bd6b0147f12e3ad91ae57f31/thumbnail_2584000.jpg","/articles/6183403/Spencer-County/Kentucky/Spencer-County-adopts-resolution-to-pursue-Land-and-Water-Conservation-Fund-grant-for-Ray-Jewel-park-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183403-d9695403166f1ab4dd5ec1de468e32cd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185668&Signature=enMGskZ7gAnAQXUdeUSLLfo0aHBJaFg~U65qkZW9F47Cav-KzxCxcFKuSLnFXJ7JuPDVFf8hNe0COEyDtXD9c8kdd-Fi7LuctgkRJ0x-laauSwJ9tFcptwN3WHGG5--CBCbJ-BBmOzCe5aVsN8QmpMz0gGjwgUABjblb1L-j0t8ENwh6TzwyHPSCQL7CU1nY0HQzqbJ5Uu3~dOvjTdamSZH0aSnLeeB2iTkRxcIDiWGe0mx1uXoBptyAXMuMGzPiflW3A1dK~Xs8XnmMCL0FOQSxXZrhdf4G~GbvWiLs9ij4E-mG3GXNgnuZRPoEdZRHSYIXQuPgW6bP1vfsnSItmA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Spencer County Fiscal Court on May 19 approved a resolution to pursue a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant to develop Ray Jewel 2 park and connect it to nearby Ray Jewel under the bridge.

County Judge Scott Travis told the court the draft resolution includes an estimated total project cost of $500,000, meaning the county's required local match would be roughly $250,000 under the standard 50% match. He said existing work and expenses at the park's site, including grading, drainage, rock work and grass seeding, could be counted toward the local match.

The court emphasized the $500,000 figure is an estimate for the grant application and can be revised. Commissioners discussed that previous work already invested in the park could reduce the new local cash outlay and noted the grant application must be filed by the June 15 deadline; the court scheduled a public meeting on June 2 to discuss the grant application before finalizing the resolution.

A motion by Commissioner Mike, seconded by Commissioner Will, passed to approve the resolution with the estimated project total of $500,000. The court discussed potential eligible uses such as parking, facilities, walking paths, fishing access and other recreational improvements that the fund typically supports.

Judge Travis and parks staff said they would present more detailed cost information and a refined project budget at the June meeting to identify the county's matching funds and eligible in-kind contributions such as volunteer labor.","Fiscal Court approved a resolution estimating $500,000 for a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant application to improve Ray Jewel 2 park, with the county indicating a 50% local match would be required if that estimate is used.",{"_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},6183407,"Spencer County approves consultant study of countywide radio coverage",1233,4873000,6106000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5097279-f15dfea1bd6b0147f12e3ad91ae57f31&start=4873&end=6106","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5097279-f15dfea1bd6b0147f12e3ad91ae57f31/thumbnail_4873000.jpg","/articles/6183407/Spencer-County/Kentucky/Spencer-County-approves-consultant-study-of-countywide-radio-coverage","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183407-02410fb47667accff73da53ac98d7fcb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185668&Signature=ih-s4s~fyvmGIG~Onwh0pPW7fnF99hLLWuiNgvOR31DFN7-Q5hLIYNpdWpJ-kNCpgScK1x~E3WaA3lo3tf~Lbhfw~7u16e6aMrZTBHOVlse41SJUR2DPrqgJ6ukKIMPvKEhFlPbu6P9Z4kLNEoUaHv~e-FnNOyziiCCzuqH09IV7X9kpobpYefOlXIKQyjZM7K0ntRGzrv9G1My7jj~6suqUfwrusIgO5P3lS6WfX8Z~dLGvguiOJtS6rZvN64MEunCWCCpgJABYBUsDANugsD5IkR1SPoXCv6-x7eBy21pTBL3RuCakBSL4TdoJVFdFXW9cO1pP~o6A9pRbfcMjqw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Spencer County Fiscal Court on May 19 voted to hire a communications consultant to evaluate the county's radio infrastructure and coverage.

The court approved a contract not to exceed $2,650.50 with a communications consultant identified in the meeting as Better Communications (referred to in the transcript as Bednar/Ventnor). County Judge Scott Travis said the study would review existing towers, coverage gaps and provide alternative options, and that the cost was small compared with potential future upgrades costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The nut graf: The consultant will perform site visits, a coverage assessment and a written comparison of options so the county and partner agencies can decide whether to upgrade the current P25-capable system, pursue a different digital radio platform or phase improvements. Court members emphasized they wanted an independent second opinion before committing to large upgrades.

During discussion, Commissioners and emergency services staff raised concerns that many of the county's portable radios are not NextGen/NextEdge-capable and that different upgrade paths could require purchasing new radios. Robert (staff member) and other staff said the consultant would meet with county staff and city and fire department representatives before testing and reporting.

A motion to approve the contract was made by Commissioner Mike and seconded by Commissioner Will; the clerk conducted a roll call in which all present voted in favor. Judge Travis directed staff to provide the consultant with county contacts and logistical information, including Robert and the emergency management and communications staff, so the evaluation could proceed.

Court members repeatedly said the study is evaluative only and does not commit the county to purchase equipment or select a system. The court also discussed the need to coordinate any eventual upgrade with the city and local fire departments so systems remain interoperable.

The court plans to use the report to develop a scope of work and, if needed, to solicit competitive bids for any subsequent implementation work.","Spencer County Fiscal Court approved a contract of up to $2,650.50 with a communications consultant to evaluate the county\u0000wide radio system and recommend options to improve emergency radio coverage.","actionData","errors"]
