Fiscal Court approves payments, minutes and routine reports; multiple invoices cleared
Summary
Barren County Fiscal Court on Sept. 16 approved a slate of routine payments, adopted minutes and accepted monthly reports, including invoices for water infrastructure, emergency lighting, vehicle purchases and bond payments.
BARRON COUNTY, Ky. — The Barren County Fiscal Court approved a series of routine motions and payments during its Sept. 16 meeting, including invoices for water infrastructure and emergency equipment, routine budget items and the minutes from the Sept. 12 meeting.
The court voted to adopt the orders for the meeting and approved payments including: Glasgow Water Company ($70,638.80) related to an ARPA-funded water infrastructure project; Metcalfe 9-1-1 passthrough ($17,407.88); PVA appropriation ($101,608); ICS Jail Supplies ($6,696.50); a Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company payment ($15,555); two invoices to Frontline Emergency Lighting (recorded in the minutes as $16,002.71 and $16,271.24); Truist Bank CTES payment ($81,265); and payment to Gilly Hyde Ford Lincoln for two previously approved vehicles ($96,268).
The court also approved routine financial reports and fee reports for August 2025 (county monthly financial report; county attorney monthly settlement; county clerk fee report; sheriff fee report) "subject to audit," and approved the minutes of the Sept. 12, 2025 meeting.
Several of the motions were introduced and seconded by magistrates on the floor and carried by unanimous voice vote as recorded in the meeting audio. Where recorded, motions and seconds were: adoption of the orders (moved by Ronnie Stinson; second by Brad Gross), Glasgow Water Company invoice (moved by Jeff Botts; second by Derek Pedego), Metcalfe 9-1-1 passthrough (moved by Tim Durham; second by Ronnie Stinson) and PVA appropriation (moved by Simpson; second by Tim Coomer). Other motions followed the same pattern of a named mover and second and were recorded as carried.
No contested votes or roll-call tallies were recorded in the public minutes for these items; the clerk recorded the outcomes as "motion carries" after voice votes.
Votes referenced in the meeting minutes appear to be standard disbursements and bookkeeping items tied to the court's 2025 budget and previously approved projects. Several payments — including the Glasgow Water Company invoice — were described by the judge as part of earlier ARPA-approved projects to extend water service to areas of the county that previously lacked it.
The court also approved several bond-related payments and vehicle purchases as part of previously authorized appropriations.
No new ordinances or policy changes were adopted during these votes; the items recorded were approvals of invoices, transfers, and routine reports.
Ending: The court recessed to consider proclamations and routine committee reports; no additional contested fiscal items were recorded.
