Commission routine business: proclamations, consent agenda, hay bids and a tax-sale contract corrected
Summary
At its April 7 meeting the Bourbon County Commission approved routine business including a proclamation for National Public Health Week, accepted accounts payable and payroll items, awarded three hay bids to a single bidder and corrected a previous motion to hire a law firm for tax sales on behalf of the county.
The Bourbon County Commission handled a cluster of routine administrative items on April 7, approving a proclamation for National Public Health Week, ratifying accounts-payable and payroll items, accepting competitive hay bids and correcting a previous motion about tax-sale representation.
Proclamation: Chairman Brandon Whisenhunt read a county proclamation designating April 7–13, 2025, as National Public Health Week in Bourbon County. In the reading Whisenhunt invoked public-health themes and urged residents to recognize the role of public health in prevention and preparedness.
Consent agenda: The commission approved the consent agenda, including accounts payable totaling $282,877.38 and payroll totaling $292,222.96, as read at the meeting; a motion to approve passed by voice vote.
Hay bids: Staff reported three hay bids were received but all were submitted by a single bidder. The commission accepted the sole bidder’s submissions for multiple properties; the bidder was identified as Joe Terry. The commission directed staff to follow the usual documentation process for awarding the bids.
Tax sale correction: The commission corrected a motion from its March 31 meeting and voted to hire a tax law firm to perform tax-sale work for the county (not for the land bank). A motion to hire the firm passed by voice vote.
Motions and outcomes: several motions were made and seconded during the meeting; the record shows voice approvals for agenda changes, minutes, consent items, the hay-bid awards and the tax-sale contract correction. No detailed roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
