Boyle County Fiscal Court approves budget moves, bills, contracts and capital purchases

The Boyle County Fiscal Court on Sept. 9 approved a series of routine fiscal measures and capital purchases, including budget transfers, cash transfers, payment of bills totaling $4,313,854.59, a five‑year renewed contract with Republic Services and several capital and operating purchases.

The votes came during the fiscal court’s regular meeting at the Boyle County Courthouse in Danville. Judge Executive Trillie L. Bottom presided.

The court approved a $7,043.60 budget transfer and a bundle of cash transfers: $750,000 from the general fund to an interest‑bearing account, $200,000 from the general fund to the jail fund, and $10,000 from the general fund to the fleet account. The court also approved payment of bills and claims presenting a grand total of $4,313,854.59. County staff said a large portion of that total reflects transfers of occupational and other taxes to the city of Danville and intra‑government transfers rather than new, outside expenditures.

Other approved motions included: purchase of an Aardvark tilt utility trailer (low bid) for $14,690; approval of the fall paving list; payment of a $375 fee to submit Part 3 of a tax credit application to the Kentucky Heritage Council; and authorization to include the county’s Main Street lot in a neighboring house sale listing. The court also approved a five‑year contract with Republic Services for county recycling and solid‑waste services.

All listed motions were put to voice vote and carried; no roll‑call tallies naming individual yea/nay votes were entered in the public record. Several motions were moved and seconded by magistrates in attendance; the minutes record the formal outcomes as "motion carries" or an equivalent affirmation.

The court also approved four ceremonial proclamations — Patriot Day (Sept. 11), Human Resources Professionals Day, National IT Professional Day and Deaf Awareness Week — and routine committee and standing reports.
