Meade County fiscal court approves consent agenda, equipment auction, procurement ordinance and transportation agreements
Summary
At its regular meeting the Meade County Fiscal Court approved a consent agenda, authorized auctioning three roll‑off trucks and soliciting financing bids, adopted the county procurement ordinance under the Kentucky model code, and approved two memoranda of agreement with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for local road and bridge work.
The Meade County Fiscal Court voted on several routine and project-specific items during its meeting.
The court approved the consent agenda, which included minutes from the June 10 and June 24 meetings, the monthly financial statement, claims and transfers, departmental reports and personnel actions. The motion to approve the consent agenda was moved and seconded and the motion carried.
Solid waste director Jacob asked the court to authorize the county to auction three roll‑off trucks at the September JM Woods auction in Montgomery, Alabama — two 2024 Volvos and one 2023 Mack. The court approved the auction and separately authorized staff to solicit bids for financing the replacements. Jacob said the Volvos had not held value as expected and noted prior trade and purchase decisions. “We have 2 2024 Volvos, and we have 1 2023 Mac,” Jacob said during the presentation.
On procurement, the court conducted a second reading of Ordinance 2025‑05, a county fiscal court ordinance adopting the Kentucky model procurement code. Tiffany summarized the ordinance and referenced the enabling statute as discussed in the meeting. The court accepted the accuracy of the second reading and voted to adopt Ordinance 2025‑05.
The court also approved two memoranda of agreement with the Commonwealth of Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Department of Highways. Resolution 2025.07.0.01 covers emergency funding for the Long Branch bridge/repair project; the court approved the resolution and authorized the county judge/executive to sign the agreement. An add‑on, Resolution 2025.07.0.02, allocates flex‑fund asphalt dollars to a set of local road projects (Brandenburg Road, Christian Church Road, a section of Milan Road, Redmond Road and a section of Turner Road) totaling roughly $302,000 for rubber‑modified asphalt work; the court approved that resolution and authorized the judge to sign.
The court also approved issuance of fuel cards to several departments, discussed audit-driven controls on card usage, and voted to bid delivered bulk fuel for fiscal year 2025 with contract provisions to address price variance. The motion to bid county‑delivered fuel was approved.
