Campbell County Fiscal Court approved several resolutions, personnel appointments, contracts and budget actions during the meeting. Key outcomes:

- Personnel appointments: The court designated Justin (transcript lists both "Justin Fall" and later "Justin Hall") as the county’s building official under the state (effective 02/09/2025) and appointed Donald Shookman and John Michael Ward as part‑time Office of Emergency Management (OEM) response officers (effective 02/06/2025). All motions carried on voice votes.

- Rural secondary program agreement: Resolution R0925 authorizing execution of a rural secondary program agreement with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet was approved; the court accepted $200,311 in flex funds to be used for Upper and Lower Tug Fork resurfacing projects in FY25 and FY26.
- Resurfacing award and change order: The court awarded FY25 resurfacing and striping projects to Mango Construction Company for $578,682; it also approved a change order to Smith Construction for slip repairs on Visalia and Upper Tug Fork that added $10,351.74 and brought the project total to $584,184.24. Emergency road aid of $150,000 will partially offset costs.
- Budget and claims: The court approved budget transfers dated 01/31/2025, interfund transfers for operating expenses dated 01/31/2025, and approved claims (including employee benefits claims dated 02/01/2025). The county attorney recused himself from claims related to employee benefits due to business relationships disclosed in the meeting.
All motions above passed on voice votes; the meeting transcript records unanimous "aye" responses for these items with no roll‑call tallies provided.
Additional notes: The court recorded that FY25 budget funds include an allocation of $500,000 set aside for lake restoration work; staff said those funds will be used to begin engineering and initial procurement steps for the AJ Jolly Park lake project described elsewhere on the agenda.
