The Boone County Fiscal Court on March 25 approved a slate of routine personnel actions, contract renewals and procurement awards in actions taken by unanimous votes.
Key approvals at a glance: - Seasonal parks and golf course hires (Resolution 4a): court approved 3-0 after HR reported three golf-course hires and 19 returning plus five new parks seasonal employees. - Appointment of Travis Raw to program coordinator for camps and athletics (Resolution 4b): HR said 29 applications were received and Raw was identified through interviews; approved 3-0. - Appointment of Tony Beckett as landscape technician (Resolution 4c): 20 applicants were considered and Beckett was approved pending pre-employment checks; approved 3-0. - Appointment of Madeline Beere to the Public Safety Communication Center dispatcher position (Resolution 4d): appointment contingent on FBI and Commonwealth background checks; approved 3-0. - Second reading and approval of a zoning map amendment requested by applicant Susan Shuffet for property at 5856 Burlington Pike (Ordinance, second reading): no changes reported by the applicant; ordinance approved 3-0. - Coroner's Office contract renewal for decedent removal and transportation with Don Ketchum Funeral Homes: staff said terms and pricing remain the same and the item is budgeted; approved 3-0. - Refuse collection bids for county facilities: Best Way Disposal selected as low bidder for 20 locations, Rumpke for 4 and Bavarian Trucking for 5; contracts begin April 1 for one year with two optional renewals; approved 3-0. - Water Rescue surplus declaration and $10,000 trade-in credit from Washington Marine to offset repairs on boat 220: staff confirmed the transaction is allowed under statute and the court approved declaring the items surplus and authorizing the trade; approved 3-0. - Fiscal items: invoice and prepaid invoice reports and internal budget transfer orders (fiscal court orders authorizing transfers of $115,950 and $17,091.41) were all approved 3-0.
Votes and procedure: the court recorded each motion with a second and unanimous voice approval; Commissioner Brewer was noted as excused for the meeting, leaving three voting members present. Several items carried brief staff explanations but no substantive objections were raised.
What this means: the actions advance hiring for parks and public safety staffing, maintain continuity for coroner services, and finalize county facility refuse contracts and a surplus-trade that will support water-rescue repairs. Several matters (notably Hicks Pike and landfill negotiations) were discussed separately and will return for future action.
Provenance: votes and approvals are recorded across meeting segments (items began SEG 046 for personnel through SEG 466 for fiscal matters).
