The Scott County Fiscal Court convened on September 25, 2025, to address several key issues impacting local infrastructure and community events. The meeting highlighted the court's ongoing efforts to manage funding for critical projects and engage with community traditions.

One of the primary discussions centered around supplemental agreements related to Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) projects. The court reviewed the financial adjustments necessary for the Northrace Fork and Mount Horeb bridge projects. The low bid for the Northrace Fork project exceeded the initial award letter, prompting a request for amendments to the funding agreement. After discussions with KYTC representatives, the court successfully negotiated to transfer excess funds from the Mount Horeb project to cover the Northrace Fork's additional costs. This transfer will result in a total county expenditure of just over $100,000 for the Northrace Fork project, a significant financial commitment aimed at enhancing local infrastructure.

The court also emphasized the importance of timely communication with contractors, as officials are currently awaiting the finalization of contracts with Todd Johnson Contracting. The urgency of this matter was underscored by the need to send a notice to proceed once the contract is signed, ensuring that the projects remain on schedule.

In addition to infrastructure discussions, the court acknowledged the City of Georgetown's recent decision to officially set the date and time for Halloween festivities. This announcement reflects the court's commitment to supporting community events that foster local engagement and celebrate traditions.

Overall, the meeting underscored the court's proactive approach to managing infrastructure projects while also prioritizing community involvement. As the court moves forward, the successful negotiation of funding and timely project execution will be crucial in addressing the needs of Scott County residents.
