The Hopkinsville City Council declared a list of public-works items surplus and authorized disposal under KRS 82.083 and also confirmed a series of appointments to local boards and authorities at its Jan. 9 meeting.

Municipal Order 1-2025 declared the listed property as surplus and authorized the mayor to dispose of the items by methods available under KRS 82.083. The municipal order was presented with no substantive discussion recorded.

The council also recorded a series of executive orders appointing council members as mayoral designees or representatives to numerous local boards. Several appointments required a motion and second and were approved by the council by voice vote. Examples include:

- City council member Jason Bell appointed as the mayor’s designee to the Housing Authority of Hopkinsville Board (term expiring 12/31/2026). (Recorded as moved and seconded; voice vote unanimously in favor.)

- Executive orders naming council members to multiple bodies including the Hopkinsville Christian County Ambulance Service Board (Michael Velez), Christian County Senior Center Board (Brandy Stallins), Hopkinsville Christian County ACC Board (Clayton Sumner), Hopkinsville and Christian County Airport Board (Seth Meek), Human Rights Commission (Elizabeth Drowd), Hopkinsville Christian County Public Library Board (Brittany Bogard), Long Range Planning and Coordination Committee (Bridal Stallens), RC and D Council (Brittany Bogard), Retired Senior Volunteers Program Council (Donald Marsh), Tax Increment Finance Development Authority (Seth Mink), Westwood Senior Home Board (Brandy Stallings), and others. Terms and whether action was required are listed in the meeting agenda text.

Several boards required no action to note the appointment; where a motion and second were recorded, the minutes show an affirmative voice vote ("Aye") and no recorded opposition.

Council member Donald Marsh was appointed as the mayor’s designee to the Christian County Chamber of Commerce military affairs committee; other reappointments were recorded for the Hopkinsville Electric System Board, the Hopkinsville Water Environment Authority, the Surface and Stormwater Utility Board and others, typically with terms expiring at the end of 2025 or 2026 as listed in the executive orders.
