Boyle County Fiscal Court approves payroll software, bridge estimate and budget measures; multiple routine transfers cleared
Summary
At its Jan. 28 meeting the Boyle County Fiscal Court approved several routine financial transfers and contracts, confirmed a treasurer appointment, authorized a payroll/HR system purchase contingent on IT review, and approved a Norfolk Southern bridge-cost estimate, among other votes.
The Boyle County Fiscal Court on Jan. 28 approved a series of routine and substantive actions including budget and cash transfers, the appointment of a new county treasurer, a contract for a human resources/payroll system with a contingency for an IT compatibility review, and an estimate to proceed on the Buster Pipe (rail) bridge with Norfolk Southern.
The court carried voice votes on multiple financial items early in the meeting. Magistrates approved budget transfers totaling $37,047.76 and a set of cash transfers that included $10,444.83 from the joint jail fund, $50,000 from the general fund to the road department, $100,000 from the general fund to the jail, $100,000 to EMS and $10,000 to fleet. The court also approved payment of the bills as amended to $240,326.65.
In executive session the court unanimously appointed Shannon Green to fill the county treasurer vacancy; the court administered the oath and made the appointment effective immediately through June 30, 2026. The court then approved on second reading Budget Ordinance Amendment 221.30.1 (no substantive changes reported since first reading). The court also read and approved a proclamation designating February 2025 as American Heart Month.
On contracts and agreements: the court authorized execution of a memorandum of agreement connected to opioid-abatement funds administered through ASAP and the health department, with minor wording changes to align terminology for treatment and providers. The court approved an HR/payroll/timekeeping contract with Paycom for $39,003.84, amended so that final execution is contingent on a compatibility review and sign-off by the county IT director. The vote carried after a motion to add that contingency.
The court approved EMS-block grant paperwork for $10,000 and authorized paramedic tuition-agreement forms for three students attending Hopkinsville (names recorded in the minutes). The county also accepted an estimate of $93,009 related to the Buster Pipe bridge work with Norfolk Southern and approved public-works contracting for HVAC and roofing at the county maintenance facility (Code Red HVAC bid for $214,800; Premier Roof Solutions for $15,250).
Other motions carried included acknowledgement of the county clerk’s fourth-quarter report and a committee-requested moratorium on sending ethics financial-report letters to elected officials until the ordinance’s second reading is complete.
Votes were taken by voice in the meeting; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the public transcript.
