McCracken County Fiscal Court voted on Sept. 8 to promote and designate Steve Irvin to a county administrative post effective Aug. 31, 2025. The court record shows the promotion includes an annual salary of $120,000, with statutory deductions and further court orders subject to change.

The court recorded the order to promote Irvin and later recorded a separate order designating him as the ABC administrator effective Aug. 31, 2025. The court authorized the judge-executive to execute any necessary documents and the treasurer to process related payments.

Court members discussed Irvin’s experience managing the county's sports-park projects and parks improvements and described him as an experienced internal candidate who has worked as a project manager for county construction and parks projects. Court remarks indicated support for appointing an experienced internal candidate rather than conducting an external search.

The actions were approved on the record; the transcript records an affirmative vote and the clerk’s announcement that the motion carried. No additional personnel actions or employment contract terms were discussed on the record at the Sept. 8 meeting.
