Grant County fiscal court appoints ex‑officio member to ambulance taxing district, fills vacancy
Summary
The Grant County Fiscal Court voted to appoint a magistrate as an ex‑officio, nonvoting member of the Grant County Special Ambulance Taxing District and named Rodney Smith to fill a short-term vacancy on the district board.
The Grant County Fiscal Court voted Wednesday to appoint a magistrate as an ex‑officio, nonvoting member of the Grant County Special Ambulance Taxing District and to fill an existing board vacancy.
Judge Chuck Dills and the court approved a resolution making Magistrate Shauna Coadarne an ex‑officio, nonvoting member of the Special Ambulance Taxing District effective April 1, 2025, citing KRS 65.009. The court also appointed Rodney Smith to fill a vacancy on the district board; that appointment takes effect April 1, 2025, and the seat will expire Sept. 30, 2025.
The moves were presented to the court after the district’s chair, Tony Morgan, requested advisory participation by the fiscal court. Judge Dills said the appointment would provide the taxing district with an “advisory position.” Magistrate Humphrey made the motion to approve the resolution; Magistrate Riley seconded it. A separate motion to appoint Rodney Smith was made by Magistrate Riley and seconded by Magistrate Codar. Both motions carried by voice vote.
During the citizen comment period, Debbie Angel of the Grant County News asked whether Rodney Smith would serve as the district treasurer; court members clarified that the fiscal court appoints board members but that the board itself selects officers such as treasurer when it convenes.
No additional conditions or funding actions were attached to either appointment. The court said it would notify the appointees to appear for any required swearing‑in procedures.
