Votes at a glance: council approves appointments, easement and performance-bond adjustment
Summary
At the May 28 special meeting the council approved minutes, appointed three members to the Georgetown Business Park Authority, granted a temporary easement to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and approved a performance-bond reduction for the South Sewer Extension project; motions passed by voice vote.
The Georgetown City Council recorded several formal actions during a special-called meeting on May 28, 2025. Each vote below was taken by motion and voice vote; the transcript records “aye” and “no” calls but does not provide a roll-call tally of individual votes.
Minutes and check registry Mayor/Clerk: The council approved the minutes from a prior meeting following a motion by Councilman Greg Hampton and a second by Councilmember Brent; the motion passed on a voice vote. Council also acknowledged receipt of the check registry.
Georgetown Business Park Authority appointments The mayor recommended three nominees for appointment to the Georgetown Business Park Authority: Katie Prater, Josh Lank Landacre and John Traylor. Councilman Minky moved to appoint the three nominees, a second was made by Councilmember Hambrick, and the motion passed by voice vote.
Temporary easement to Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Staff requested approval of a temporary easement for a Kentucky Transportation Cabinet project on KY 227 (Main Street/Stamping Ground Road) that affects a city-owned pump station site. Councilman Stone moved to grant the temporary easement; Councilman Minky seconded the motion. The council approved the temporary easement by voice vote; staff reported the work is edge-of-pavement and culvert work and will not impede pump-station access.
South Sewer Extension performance-bond update The council approved a no-cost change order to reduce the contractor’s performance bond on the South Sewer Extension contract to reflect the remaining contract value (about $639,000 of work remaining on a roughly $19.2 million contract). The motion to approve the change order was made by Councilman Minkie and seconded by Councilmember Sams and passed by voice vote; staff described the action as administrative and not changing the contract schedule or total contract price.
Process notes Where motions recorded movers and seconders, those names are noted above; the transcript records only voice votes of “aye” or “no” rather than a roll-call vote with each council member recorded by name. No ballots or recorded roll-call tallies were included in the meeting transcript for these items.
