Fiscal court approves KYTC memoranda for Long Branch bridge and flex‑fund road projects
Summary
The court approved two add‑on resolutions and authorized the judge to sign agreements with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet: one for Long Branch bridge emergency funding ($35,000 mentioned) and a flex‑fund package of road projects totaling about $302,000 for the 24‑25 season.
The Meade County Fiscal Court approved two add‑on resolutions and authorized the county judge to sign memoranda of agreement with the Commonwealth of Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
The first add‑on (recorded as resolution 20 25.07 0.01 in the transcript) relates to a Long Branch bridge project; the transcript states the Transportation Cabinet will issue $35,000 from emergency funds for the project and that county crews will provide labor. The court moved, seconded, and approved the resolution and then voted to allow the judge to sign the agreement.
A second add‑on resolution (20 25.07 0.02) described the state's 'flex fund' program for asphalt projects. The court identified selected roads for the 24‑25 season — Brandenburg Road, Christian Church Road (a remaining portion), a section of Milan Road, Redmond Road and part of Turner Road — and staff said the projects add up to approximately $302,000. Staff reported that work cannot begin until the signed agreement is returned to the state and a start date is provided; the county contractor (identified in the transcript as Mako Construction) has been placed on the schedule.
Court members moved and approved both resolutions and again voted to allow the judge to sign the related agreements. The meeting record reflects those motions carried.
