Judge Executive K. noted the agenda item and read the open-meetings exemptions: the committee would go into closed session under KRS 61.810(1)(c) for pending litigation (the \"opiate litigation\" referenced on the agenda) and KRS 61.810(1)(b) for property acquisition. Judge Executive K. asked for a motion to close the public meeting for those purposes; Squire Gentry moved, Squire Varner seconded, and members voted aye to enter closed session. Judge Executive K. specified that the county attorney, the court clerk, Lucas Witt (the EDA consultant), and members of the fiscal court were to remain in the courtroom while others would be excluded for the closed session.

The committee did not discuss details of the litigation or the property acquisition in open session; the motion and roll-call vote to enter closed session were recorded in public minutes. No substantive actions or outcomes on those matters were announced before the session recessed into closed session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Woodford County Fiscal Court","oneSentenceSummary","The fiscal court voted to enter a closed session to discuss pending opiate litigation and property acquisition under statutory open-meetings exceptions.","taxTitle","Woodford County, Kentucky","taxId",73313,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6483559,"Woodford County gives Fair Association 60 days to accept new lease terms or face termination",308,1122000,1430000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5681198-96538bc5c547608c0aeb27c6ef810a6a&start=1122&end=1430","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5681198-96538bc5c547608c0aeb27c6ef810a6a/thumbnail_1122000.jpg","/articles/6483559/Woodford-County/Kentucky/Woodford-County-gives-Fair-Association-60-days-to-accept-new-lease-terms-or-face-termination","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6483559-cfb577da56c3866a942459971b41a7b9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771197361&Signature=YdCMoEAXjad52UFK9GHErfqZlXmpM-cv35nN4dYRfjG6bBVI9QhiZ09FdKKa01ZhJgRIWvWdD71p8tstedFJTr4ktYwmgbccacYutGcLwzzra7MuDHcd2KjCpPGHvhZ8CcGQQi6WQ5kbkNocxMfn53~YiLzWoM~V8TMW0xvdmsENK2lXsI-dAs1HFfJwsQeZaiEG6zoDt9qne4mUQc1hL~FxQKxawXp5xjQVQefuOXND5GLKSn5~nxiDE0~pjybzIPHoL8iMhJvhTNKhY6id2JW0g4uXJM1NvAyCYTJwc6CRfIf-kazJ7OYMdgiAQI~Tg3vi0V7B7uYNYM-X8pse-Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Woodford County Contracts and Leases Committee voted to present new lease terms to the Woodford County Fair Association and give the fair board 60 days to accept; if the board does not agree, the county will move forward with terminating the lease.

Squire Varner, speaking after a committee meeting with fair board leaders, said the meetings \"has not been as productive as we'd like,\" and proposed presenting new terms and a 60-day response window. Varner moved the motion: \"I so move that we, present new terms of release to the fair board, give them 60 days to agree. And if, if, they do not agree with it, we move forward in terminating the lease.\" The motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.

The committee noted that the fair board president, Miss Mary Lou Watkins, and treasurer Melanie Wiley were present for the update. Committee members did not specify the proposed lease changes in the public discussion, nor did they set a firm date for returning the revised lease to the fiscal court. The motion directs staff to present new terms and gives the fair board a 60-day period to respond before the county pursues termination.","The Contracts and Leases Committee voted to present new lease terms to the Woodford County Fair Association, giving the fair board 60 days to accept or risk lease termination.",{"_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},6483563,"Woodford County committee directs county attorney to prepare one-year renewal of Wyse lease",75,1084000,1159000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5681198-96538bc5c547608c0aeb27c6ef810a6a&start=1084&end=1159","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5681198-96538bc5c547608c0aeb27c6ef810a6a/thumbnail_1084000.jpg","/articles/6483563/Woodford-County/Kentucky/Woodford-County-committee-directs-county-attorney-to-prepare-one-year-renewal-of-Wyse-lease","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6483563-8bd0fd9ae58abcaa4ab4c9a48956af55/orig.mp4?Expires=1771197361&Signature=XxoHYtCGAC9BRXKaVBYO4t3cG~M3RQBi~oZl3GuEDgrrpCoynqy7MJ9FTE6mp3Me~ywJk139N4ToAwdZoQMUsWMPmsw60dWpZaGrq83CTaLseHGGVhkVRokwk~5xXVhr63TDisHiIaNtfYtNucWjTYt0QBBxGbWyBRmMPEi3AzchOpY~3BkDFuLjJSZmhhyr3Ebov4AwAjTbHo8SM2Q4QqyUmLeysC6sx5aVBUreo6JCypbVn9Bcp8CyHiCQ60PZCfLeJTlrX4JEx0~al6hLt74CBnABpRQqHBaqHPJQ2GI9mcRyaVoDkDETkM61AmhTWp0Nsre8PgqRCiZRoq6Lkg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Woodford County Contracts and Leases Committee voted unanimously to direct the county attorney to prepare a one-year renewal of the Wyse lease under the same or similar terms as the existing agreement.

Committee members voted aye and the motion carried unanimously.

The committee did not record additional details about the lease terms or the identity of the Wyse counterparty in the public discussion.
