Residents and county officials raised complaints about off-road vehicle noise and dust and urged the court to consider enforcement and maintenance responses.

During public discussion, one participant told the court that riders operating without mufflers and revving engines were creating disturbances and urged enforcement. “They have to have mufflers,” the presiding official said while describing concerns about riders’ behavior. Another participant added that sheriff involvement and staff time to observe or enforce rules would be required: “It's a closet to ride because the sheriff somebody to come here and spend 2 or 3 hours,” a speaker said.

Speakers described dust problems where road maintenance activity and loose base material near asphalt sections were creating particulate concerns. One resident said the base area about 0.3 miles from the asphalt was producing dust, and asked that road maintenance stop until the issue could be addressed. “So the base of the road, that's the 20 0.3 miles from the asphalt road... It's not included,” a speaker said about the area where dust was coming from.

Court members discussed possible technical responses such as evaluating alternative paving or blacktopping operations; one speaker described a blacktop “chimney” operation and suggested the court inspect operations to understand options. “This is actually blacktop chimney. It makes about 4 times a pound and you gotta shovel it all out. Mhmm. Myself, I like to see an operation kinda,” one participant said.

Participants suggested staff research county code options and regional associations for guidance; one court member suggested contacting the Kentucky Association of Counties. “We can can't go to Kentucky Association of County. You might even have,” a speaker said.

The discussion did not produce a formal enforcement action at the meeting. Court members said they would review maintenance reports, seek quotes for corrective work, and have staff follow up with local law enforcement about enforcement of muffler and noise rules.
