Oldham County Fiscal Court approves grant application, hires, contract renewals and awards salt bid
Summary
At its July 15 meeting the Oldham County Fiscal Court authorized a spay/neuter grant application, hired a police recruit, renewed officer contracts, approved school resource officer contracts, appointed a fire district board member and awarded a road-salt contract to Morton Salt.
The Oldham County Fiscal Court voted on July 15 to authorize a Kentucky Department of Agriculture spay/neuter grant application, approve personnel actions, renew police contracts, confirm school resource officer contracts, appoint a member to the Pewee Valley Fire Protection District board and award a road-salt contract.
The court authorized Judge David Vogel to sign an application for the Kentucky Department of Agriculture spay/neuter grant after a presentation by Polly Elton, who said the grant helps pay for spay/neuter services for pet owners who could not otherwise afford them. A magistrate moved the item and the court voted in favor.
The court approved hiring Alex Nart as a police recruit effective Aug. 4 (personnel packet referenced a Step 1 base hourly rate recorded in the minutes as "Step 1, 28 74"). The court also approved contract renewals for officers Bridal Bramlett and Donald Gosney and approved contracts for the county's school resource officers for the upcoming school year (listed in the packet as Greg Ford, Andrew Hamilton, Evan Harrod, Mike Head, Jim Latham, Tom Moore, David Demolcher, Joshua Myers, Bro Simpson and Tracy Witt).
The court appointed Joe Richey to the Pewee Valley Fire Protection District board for a term to expire June 30, 2028.
The fiscal court awarded the county's road-salt contract to Morton's Salt (Morton Salt) at $103.84 per ton. Ben (staff member) reported the bid covers 4,000 tons with the county obligated to 2,500 tons and the remainder on standby; deliveries can begin Aug. 1. The court voted to accept the bid after confirming the low bid met county requirements.
Other routine business included approval of payables and acceptance of corrected minutes from prior meetings. The court also acknowledged personnel announcements, including the upcoming retirement of Major Scott Kriegler at the end of the month and the resignation of park employee Mark McGreal effective July 25.
Where the transcript records a formal motion and second, the minutes record the motion carried without a roll-call tally; the meeting did not record named yea or nay votes on these items in the public audio in the transcript.
