The court approved the second reading of the county budget ordinance for fiscal 2025–26, a personnel and wage-step ordinance, a list of vendors for electronic funds transfer payments, and an enterprise fleet management agreement. The court also approved several appointments, reappointments and a series of budget and cash transfers before adjourning to and returning from an executive session.

Why it matters: The budget ordinance sets county spending authority for the coming fiscal year. The personnel ordinance formalizes wage-step policy changes for county employees, and the fleet agreement will change how the county acquires and maintains vehicles. Several of the transfers and approvals finalize year-end accounting and allow departments — including EMS and public works — to complete purchases and projects.

Key actions taken (voice votes unless noted):

- Approved previous meeting minutes (motion moved, seconded). Judge abstained from the minutes approval on the ground he had not attended that prior meeting; motion otherwise carried on voice vote. (Transcript: motion and Judge’s abstention recorded.)

- Approved budget transfers presented as a package, including a $468,110.76 revised transfer (motion carried on voice vote). (Transcript: transfer amounts announced and motion to approve.)

- Approved cash transfers from the general fund: $25,000 to the road fund; $150,000 to the jail fund; $10,000 to fleet (motion carried on voice vote). (Transcript: cash transfers presented and approved.)

- Approved payment of bills, including additional invoices added at the meeting, with an amended total of $366,887.25 for the final packet; the court agreed to “accept pending approval” earlier in the meeting and later approved payment of the bills including a missed bill. (Transcript: bills presented; later motion to pay including new bill passed.)

- Approved second reading of the 2025–26 budget ordinance (ordinance number recorded in packet) on a motion and second; motion carried on voice vote. (Transcript: second reading motion and voice vote.)

- Approved EFT standing orders (authorizing listed vendors for electronic payment) on a motion and second; motion carried on voice vote. (Transcript: vendors list noted and approved.)

- Approved second reading of the personnel / wage-step ordinance (ordinance 230.10) on a motion and second; motion carried on voice vote. (Transcript: personnel policy described briefly and approved.)

- Approved the enterprise fleet management agreement authorizing the county judge to sign contracts for lease-management of vehicles (motion by Master Gay, second by Master Cullen; motion carried on voice vote). The court approved signing individual vehicle lease contracts; the fleet representative explained each vehicle has a separate contract and requires 60 days’ notice before termination of a single contract. (Transcript: presentation by county staff and fleet representatives; motion recorded.)

- Approved appointments to the public library board: Colleen Castaneda (present and received certificate) and Will Davis (not present; certificate to be mailed) (motion, second; voice vote carried). (Transcript: appointments presented and certificates issued.)

- Reappointed Tom Ruby and Steve Griffin to Planning and Zoning (motion and second; voice vote carried). (Transcript: reappointments made and certificates issued.)

- Approved reappointment of county employees as presented by HR on a motion and second; voice vote carried. (Transcript: HR director presented list and court voted.)

- Approved an additional $2,840 for a public-works purchase (total request $57,820; reason: tariff-related price change on equipment) on a motion and second; voice vote carried. (Transcript: public works supervisor explained tariff-driven change; motion carried.)

- Approved a $200,000 cash transfer from the general fund to EMS (motion by Master Cohen, second by Master Sleeper; voice vote carried). (Transcript: transfer presented and approved.)

- Approved submission and payment of a sprinkler permit review fee (approx. $1,135, including rush review fee) for the Fred Cain project so the county can proceed with applications (motion and second; voice vote carried). (Transcript: plan submission and fee discussed and approved.)

- Entered executive session under KRS 61.810(1)(f) to discuss potential personnel actions (motion and second; court voted to enter). The court returned to open session later and recorded “no action taken” on return. (Transcript: motion to go into executive session; later motion to return with no action.)

What the record shows and what it does not: The court’s routine practice in this meeting was to take voice votes rather than roll-call votes; where a roll call was not recorded the written meeting minutes contain only the outcome (“motion carries”) or any specific abstention (the judge’s abstention on the prior minutes). The court did not announce numerical tallies on most items in the public transcript.

Looking ahead: The court indicated there will be additional follow-up on fleet vehicle disposition (options for disposing of current county vehicles), on the Buster Pike bridge bid schedule, and on July and August community events tied to the county’s America250KY activities.

James (chaplain and reentry coordinator) told magistrates the jail’s two main programs are MRT (a cognitive behavioral, evidence-based curriculum administered through the Department of Corrections) and Portals (life-skills and reentry planning). According to the report, since programming began in 2020, 243 individuals enrolled in MRT and 170 completed the class; staff noted the completion rate is affected when participants are transferred to other state facilities before finishing. The report states completion credits can reduce sentences: 90 days credit for completing MRT and 60 days credit for completing Portals, per state DOC policy referenced by staff.

The presentation also said the state reimburses the county for completions: $1,000 for each MRT completion and $600 for each Portals completion. The reentry coordinator reported a total state allocation used to reimburse counties (mentioned to the court) in the prior fiscal year; the transcript records a county-level reimbursement example but does not list a complete accounting in the spoken record.

Staff described additional reentry services paid from canteen funds or grant support, including helping inmates obtain birth certificates and Social Security cards. The transcript records the jail paying “over $3,000” to obtain identity documents for inmates to remove barriers to reentry; staff said these costs were borne from canteen funds and partnership grants, not the county general fund.

Volunteer engagement and faith-based programming were also discussed. The jail reported 40-plus volunteers coming weekly and reported approximately 130 inmates publicly professing faith in baptisms since 2020; staff framed the programming as part of reducing recidivism and supporting successful reentry.

Facility and staffing figures provided in the report included average daily population figures and staffing levels: the jail’s average daily population was reported with county and state inmates (transcript: average daily population about 54 county, 67 state), and staffing at the time of the report was 35 full-time employees plus part-time staff with two open positions being actively recruited. The jail reported routine inspections with minor deficiencies and described repairs performed on boiler and HVAC systems and responses to a fire at a recycling center that required restricted-custody inmate evacuation; staff said there were no injuries and the smoke damage was cleaned.

The court thanked staff and asked follow-up scheduling for the jail planning/work group. The presentation concluded with an expression of the reentry coordinator’s view that the programs generate reimbursement and reduce recidivism for participants who complete the curricula.

What the record shows and does not: The presentation includes counts of enrollments and completions in MRT and Portals since 2020 and references state reimbursement amounts per completed participant. The transcript records an approximate dollar amount paid from canteen funds to obtain identity documents and reports of volunteer activity, baptisms and facility repairs. The transcript does not provide an itemized fiscal reconciliation or a complete list of individual reimbursements; it records summary statements by jail staff.

County staff said the first phase will include 15 county vehicles and three new sheriff/police vehicles. County Administrator Julie Wagner told the court the contracts were included in members’ packets and asked the court to authorize the judge to sign them so staff could proceed with vehicle transitions.

A fleet representative explained that “for every vehicle that you lease, each has its own contract,” and that terminating a single vehicle contract requires written notice at least 60 days before the last day of any month for the termination to be effective. The representative said terminating one contract does not terminate others. (Transcript: “for every vehicle that you lease, each has its own contract… not less than 60 days prior written notice.”)

Magistrates discussed options for disposing of county-owned vehicles that are replaced through the program. County staff said disposing of surplus vehicles must follow government rules and regulations and the county is still determining whether to sell locally, use government sales firms, or other options to market the equipment.

Magistrate commentary emphasized an interest in keeping warranty and service work local: staff said final inspections and warranty repairs for fleet vehicles will be handled through local dealerships so those dealers continue to receive some service revenue.

The court approved the agreement on a motion, seconded and carried by voice vote. Staff said each leased vehicle will have a separate contract, that termination of an individual contract requires at least 60 days’ prior written notice effective at month’s end, and that vehicle disposition logistics will be decided as the program advances.

Implementation notes: The judge was authorized to sign individual vehicle contracts; staff will return with options for selling existing county vehicles as those units are transitioned into the fleet program.

Provenance: discussion and approval are recorded in the June 24, 2025 Boyle County Fiscal Court transcript (presentation of fleet contracts, staff explanation of contract termination terms, motion and voice vote to approve).
