Fayette County Commissioners on July 9 appointed an audit committee, approved two personnel hires, adopted a gym‑membership reimbursement policy for deputies and approved a raise for a county employee.

A county official moved to appoint an audit committee consisting of three members and named "me, Ruth, and Gia" (as stated in the meeting) to form the committee to oversee procurement of the county audit and related RFP work. The motion passed on a voice vote.

Commissioners also approved hires presented at the meeting. The approved hires included a Department of Roads/DRC driver, identified in the record as Matthew Adkins, and a 9‑1‑1 dispatcher identified as Mitchell Savina (spelled "Savina" in the record). The clerk recorded motions and votes to approve both hires.

On personnel policy, the commission approved a deputy gym‑membership reimbursement policy. County staff described the proposal as a quarterly reimbursement requiring deputies to submit receipts to show actual gym usage; a commissioner moved, "I move we approve, Ruth's implementing that policy as presented." The motion passed on a voice vote.

Finally, commissioners approved a pay increase for a county employee (a facilities/electrical employee identified in the record by first name as John). Commissioners discussed the employee’s broad responsibilities across county facilities and agreed a raise was justified; a motion to approve the raise carried on a voice vote.

Commissioners recorded these administrative approvals on the meeting record; staff will implement the audit committee RFP process, process new‑hire paperwork, and roll out the gym reimbursement form and procedures.
