Hunter said the advisory committee met for two hours on Sept. 4 to revisit a draft in‑family conveyance provision the fiscal court had previously directed staff to prepare. The committee discussed revisions including new hold periods (a possible split five- and 10-year approach) and redefined \"substantial hardship\" language; Hunter said the committee returned the draft to further work and will continue discussion the following Thursday at 4 p.m.

The advisory committee also recommended a sub-regulation amendment to close what staff described as a loophole allowing developers to avoid required stub-street connections. Hunter said two zoning text amendments addressing flood-impacted properties—intended to allow rebuilding in cases of destruction by fire, flood or wind—are slated for the planning commission hearing; if approved by the planning commission they would be sent to the fiscal court quickly because a temporary waiver of flood standards is scheduled to expire in October.

Hunter described item 5 on the planning commission agenda as a site development plan for the first major projects on the 45 acres immediately east of the city’s newly built street; the plan documents use non-disclosure terms but contain two labels on the plan: “grocer” and “home improvement,” with associated square-footage, parking, landscape and drainage plans. Hunter said other items on the planning commission agenda include a zone change from agricultural to small‑community for roughly 12 acres to be divided into two six‑acre tracts and several minor plats and easement adjustments in the Legends subdivision.

Hunter also noted a volunteer fire chief will present a request about adjusting fire hydrant spacing requirements to better align with ISO standards; that presentation will be before the advisory committee as a part of the same set of meetings.

Ending: Hunter invited magistrates to review plats and plans in his office and reminded the court that planning commission proceedings are livestreamed on Facebook and YouTube.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Regular Meeting of the Woodford County Fiscal Court Sept. 9, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Planning Director Steve Hunter told the Woodford County Fiscal Court that the planning commission and advisory committee are considering in‑family conveyance language revisions, sub-regulation changes, two flood-related zoning text amendments and a major site development plan for 45 acres east of Kroger.","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},6473728,"Woodford County fiscal court approves stadium light bid, vehicle surpluses, truck purchases and two budget amendments",1552,366000,1918000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5743916-7b17f49ec1dcdabfc5e27c3ecca03aa0&start=366&end=1918","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5743916-7b17f49ec1dcdabfc5e27c3ecca03aa0/thumbnail_366000.jpg","/articles/6473728/Woodford-County/Kentucky/Woodford-County-fiscal-court-approves-stadium-light-bid-vehicle-surpluses-truck-purchases-and-two-budget-amendments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6473728-b8571145ab90f74839f3e2dd1d685a3d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770388952&Signature=nMybTbHopw6nj7syaLl4fpiHKxYh4XaILNEWNaO1~o8ix4fO5WI0ZRyEr~q~~YpGfga45budNGQllr9ROoliS2zcHLlZZexqThf7u5AyeA~mEA9GGxnh5WFxS8zs7kvs6YOrELmqrP3iem1SQY5K4DjbNr-MCbEmdAshgBDSHkCDsGpICfjrspgppkSQtT-ic6dpxG1LHryD0SN8uVKTLNF7bXiMqFOTWELhR9qqNmwpXVoG-TpZwoKayo1D1uBIm9gkel7a77Yk3tLWZhYlcgRNdcIBN~U8q~bF61Pbp3lQehFhMlHJ00Ur-P2~OWgaqecj2NmcP0Yr6b-XmC9B0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Woodford County Fiscal Court on an unspecified September date voted to accept a revised electrical bid for stadium lighting, approve multiple vehicle surplus transfers, authorize purchase agreements for two road trucks, begin the release of a developer bond to pave Laurel And Estates and adopt two budget-amendment ordinances on second reading.

The court accepted Origin Electric’s option 1 bid for new service and lighting controls for the community stadium after the judge’s office corrected the dollar figure. The court first voted to accept the bid at the $219,125 figure presented by Maintenance Supervisor Rick Wade, then reconvened the vote after the court clerk confirmed the correct amount was $219,925. The motion to accept the amended bid was made by Squire Mary Ann Gill and seconded by Squire Kelly Carl; the motion carried unanimously on voice vote.

The court approved several surplus and vehicle-transfer actions. The sheriff’s office was authorized to surplus a 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe to EMS (motion by Squire Gentry, second by Squire Carl). The road department’s listed surplus items and equipment were authorized for sale on GovernmentDeals (motion by Squire Varner, second by Squire Gentry). Animal Care & Control was authorized to surplus a 2010 Ford Explorer for sale (motion by Squire Gentry); EMS was authorized to surplus a 2006 Ford Explorer to Midway City Fire (motion by Squire Brown, second by Squire Downey). All surplus motions carried on unanimous voice votes.

The court approved purchase agreements to cover increased truck costs attributed to tariffs and instructed the county attorney and judge executive to review the contracts. Specifically the court approved a purchase agreement for a tandem dump truck priced at $353,171.75 and a single-axle dump truck body priced at $228,724.40; the motions were made on the road supervisor’s recommendation and carried on unanimous voice votes.

On a motion by Squire Jackie Brown, seconded by Squire Mary Ann Gill, the court authorized the judge executive, after consultation with the county attorney, to begin the process of releasing the developer bond and securing paving for Laurel And Estates so that the subdivision roads may be adopted into the county road system upon completion and meeting required conditions. The court noted some interim email approvals between meetings might be required.

The court carried routine fiscal items by voice vote. County staff presented a second and final reading of Ordinance 2025-11 (budget amendment number 1) realizing unbudgeted carryover receipts in the amount stated in the meeting as $3,101,655.54; the county attorney confirmed the ordinance is final following second reading and must be published in summary form within 30 days. The court also completed a second reading of Ordinance 2025-12 (budget amendment number 2), realizing $16,000 in emergency road funds for Buck Run Road; the county attorney confirmed that ordinance is also final and subject to publication.

Other fiscal actions taken by motion and unanimous voice votes included approval of specified claims: Southern Communications, $1,060.66, and L & W Emergency Service Equipment, $5,641.10 (paid from the sheriff’s office asset fund), approval of transfers as presented, and approval of a personnel order.

Quotes and attributions in this account come from the meeting record. Maintenance Supervisor Rick Wade presented the Origin Electric bid and summarized the recommended option and pricing. The county attorney summarized the effect of the budget-amendment ordinances as “final” following the second readings.

Ending: The court handled a mix of procurement, vehicle and road department business and adopted two budget amendments on second reading before adjourning. Announcements and community items (events, grants and volunteer recognitions) were handled in the meeting’s final portion.","At its regular meeting the Woodford County Fiscal Court accepted a revised Origin Electric bid for stadium lighting, approved multiple vehicle surplus transfers, authorized purchase agreements for road trucks, released a developer bond for paving, and completed two second readings of budget amendments.",{"_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},6473718,"Emergency management: USDA buyout paperwork delayed; FEMA recovery scoping meeting scheduled",52,1638000,1690000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5743916-7b17f49ec1dcdabfc5e27c3ecca03aa0&start=1638&end=1690","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5743916-7b17f49ec1dcdabfc5e27c3ecca03aa0/thumbnail_1638000.jpg","/articles/6473718/Woodford-County/Kentucky/Emergency-management-USDA-buyout-paperwork-delayed-FEMA-recovery-scoping-meeting-scheduled","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6473718-658bf5fd2485f02c27a31f44e991789a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770388952&Signature=ghvocWBSwci~SWQNCnPU2jiZcYMwhQXzTNSy22weLmneAzFEgs21n4Y-vGOAiprttAt3mnenz0EnGoKRx14hw2lYeRrOTEI7ca6rd09eIJKgBwmn3urSufJRSV44fdwOkA9U8KyyNQD-4yp8DPzNxiPNqix9CXU2RLMD7dPihiHY9RhpUC~mew4MhAy~xjhpUH55OunEwbQmgLDuI4dejZUP~iDKvwWDG9zuexCxp1kojjaLtSdiIdOPUyvspkiUlGGjpMnW04nxlR~nuBMPIpq9xyvbn6WkRsc2O7WPHoXWGcWOGtcWyBaKuksIxmHfvhdRQTn~jjPmVcM1Ug9DeQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Woodford County’s emergency management director told the fiscal court that paperwork for a USDA Emergency Watershed Protection buyout program contract did not reach Kentucky by midafternoon but that USDA officials had ‘‘assured us that it’s imminent.’’ The director said the delay affected immediate contract execution but not the county’s ongoing recovery work.

The director also announced a FEMA recovery scoping meeting scheduled for 10:00 the following morning in the same meeting room. The meeting will introduce stakeholders, review an event timeline and begin the documentation process FEMA requires for fiscal recovery.

The court later authorized, by motion of Squire Taylor and second of Squire Gentry, the judge executive and county attorney to review any potential USDA buyout contract on the court’s behalf and approve it contingent on their review; the court said it would forward the contract to the fiscal court after review. The motion carried unanimously.

Ending: Emergency management urged participation in the FEMA scoping meeting and indicated the USDA paperwork was expected imminently, while the court authorized interim contract review to expedite potential buyouts for eligible homeowners.","Woodford County’s emergency management director reported a paperwork hiccup delayed arrival of a USDA emergency watershed protection buyout contract, and the county will hold a FEMA recovery scoping meeting the following morning to outline response and documentation needs.","actionData","errors"]
