Oldham County Fiscal Court Discusses Roads and Veterans Memorial Park Updates

The Oldham County Fiscal Court convened on August 19, 2025, with Judge Executive David Vogel leading the session. The meeting began with a reminder about a potential police alert regarding a missing senior citizen, which could cause cell phones to ring during the proceedings.

The court addressed several agenda items, including a motion to amend the agenda by removing the term "tabled" from a proposed resolution concerning the suspension of county maintenance for roads in the Oregon Creek Farm subdivision. This change was approved unanimously. Additionally, the court discussed moving an opioid litigation update to follow board appointments, allowing for a more streamlined meeting process.

Minutes from the previous meeting on August 5 were approved, along with amended minutes from July 15 that included the approval of payables.

During the public comment section, Jerry Nard, representing the Veterans Memorial Park of Kentucky, announced an upcoming event on September 6, which will coincide with the observance of 9/11. He highlighted the park's ongoing fundraising efforts, including the sale of memorial bricks for veterans, and discussed the need for improved signage to better direct visitors to the park.

The court acknowledged the importance of the Veterans Memorial Park, noting its growth and the community's involvement in its development. The meeting concluded with a call for further public input, emphasizing the court's commitment to community engagement and transparency.
