The Warren County Fiscal Court on Nov. 10 approved a series of routine administrative and procurement items and voted to pay claims across county funds totaling more than $3.9 million.

Key votes and motions at a glance: the court approved the Oct. 23 minutes; personnel changes; the road department work schedule; lighting agreements for Harmony Subdivision (award 25-13) and Creekside Bend Phase 1 (25-14); the Hadley Fire Department quarterly financial report; an Enterprise Fleet lease for two dump trucks (up to $3,400/month each for 72 months) and a separate lease for a 2026 Ford Explorer (up to $850/month for 60 months for jail medical transport); a $62,763 change order to Sunbelt Construction for Sugar Maple Square renovations; a $7,995 purchase from Trailer World for a trailer; a $2,789 CPI change order to IRA Crown Rinks for the Soaky Ice Rink; an emergency determination of $3,488.07 to Boyd Company for skid steer repair (stormwater-funded); approval of the October 2-1-1 report; appointments to the Bowling Green Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (Kim Adwell) and extension district board (Faye Sparks and Joy Duncan); and an order declaring a surplus vehicle for the drug task force with an auction scheduled for Nov. 21 at 1 p.m.

Treasurer's report and claims: The treasurer reported claims across funds including: General Fund $2,511,190; Road Fund $318,215; Jail Fund $745,804; Stormwater Fund $89,028; TIF Fund $232,265; Transient Tax Fund $126,168; Grant Fund $1,000; Clerk Storage Fund $61,513; and Federal Forfeiture Fund $814. Magistrates moved and approved paying bills by roll-call vote.

How the votes passed: Most motions were moved and seconded on the record (where indicated) and passed on roll-call votes with magistrates indicating "yes". Where only totals were read, the clerk recorded roll-call confirmations.

Notable procurement details: The Road Department dump-truck lease required reapproval after a price change; the county received three requests for quotes for the trailer purchase but received only one response and proceeded with that vendor. The Soaky Ice Rink change order is a CPI adjustment to last year's contract.

Ending: The court completed routine business, accepted presentations and set the next meeting for Nov. 25, 2025. No controversial rejections or failed motions were recorded in the Nov. 10 meeting minutes.

Attribution: Motions and votes were recorded by the clerk and presiding judge; specific movers and seconders are listed where recorded on the meeting docket.
