Knott County Fiscal Court approves two contractor pay requests in short Oct. 8 special-call meeting
Summary
At a brief Oct. 8 special-call Zoom meeting, the Knott County Fiscal Court approved minutes from Oct. 1 and two pay requests for Chestnut Ridge Sewer Phase 2 and Finsett Ridge Water Phase 2, then adjourned. Voice votes were recorded; no public comment was taken.
Knott County Fiscal Court approved two contractor pay requests and the prior meeting minutes during a short special-call Zoom meeting on Oct. 8, 2025.
The court approved the minutes from its Oct. 1 special-call meeting by voice vote after an unidentified meeting participant moved to adopt them and another seconded the motion. No roll-call vote totals were recorded in the transcript.
The first substantive item was a resolution for Chestnut Ridge Sewer Phase 2: Pay Request No. 7. The presiding unidentified speaker announced a grand total in the record of $85,005.21 (the transcript includes extra trailing digits that were unclear). Line items named Independent Excavating and Precision Engineering RMJE as payees. The record shows a motion to approve attributed in the audio transcript as made by “Waddles” and seconded by “Smith”; the presiding official announced the motion carried by voice vote.
The court then considered Finsett Ridge Water Phase 2: Pay Request No. 4. The total announced in the record was $240,005.77 (the transcript contains an unclear trailing notation). The pay request named Independent Excavating and Precision Engineering RMJE and included itemized amounts read into the record. An unidentified speaker asked which fund would be used for the payment; the response recorded in the transcript was “EK safe,” a term that is unclear from the recording and not further explained in the meeting. The motion to approve was made and recorded as by “Smith,” seconded by “Kraft,” and the presiding official announced the motion carried by voice vote.
No public comment, extended debate, or staff presentations beyond the readouts of pay request amounts are recorded in the transcript. After completing the listed items, an unidentified participant moved to adjourn, a second was given, and the presiding official closed the meeting.
The court did not record roll-call vote tallies for any motions in the transcript; all outcomes were announced by voice as carried. The transcript contains several minor transcription uncertainties in numeric amounts and an unclear fund name, which are noted above.
