Perry County fiscal court approves road readings and a sewer engineering contract, tables library tax-rate item
Summary
The Perry County fiscal court approved multiple routine motions including road readings, a road renaming to honor Coach Randy Napier, a CDBG resolution and an engineering contract for Leatherwood sewer work; it tabled a library tax-rate item for a special meeting.
Perry County’s fiscal court approved a slate of routine motions and several project-specific actions during its regular meeting. The court moved, seconded and approved minutes, bill payments, invoice authorizations and transfers by voice vote.
Roads and naming: the court approved first readings for East Cessna Way and Citation Drive and second readings/adoptions for Buddy Lou Drive and Jeep Lane. The court also approved an order to rename a locally identified route to "Randy Napier Hall of Fame Way," near Perry Central; members discussed sign responsibility and noted the route’s state designation may affect signage decisions.
Grants and contracts: the court approved a resolution to authorize filing a 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application and voted to award the engineering contract for the Leatherwood Sewer Upgrades and Collection Project to Kimberly Horn, citing the project’s link to development near the off-road park and school.
Library tax-rate item tabled: the presiding official asked to table agenda item 12 (library rates) until a special called meeting on Friday after consulting the sheriff’s office so the county would not delay official tax-rate publication; the presiding official said the extension office had lowered rates and noted the library’s rate "is the same as last year, I think, which is 0.162." The court approved the motion to table by voice vote.
KYTC/GIS process: county presenters provided handouts on recycling and cyber workshops and introduced the county’s GIS contact and mapping liaison with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC). The KYTC contact emphasized that he cannot process road-change submissions without a formal county resolution and requested submittals well before the end-of-month deadline to avoid backlog. "I cannot do anything until we do have a resolution," he said.
Votes at a glance: approvals were taken by voice vote with motions and seconds recorded in the transcript (examples: "Motion by Church," "Second by Spencer"); the meeting did not include roll-call tallies in the transcript.
