Franklin County fiscal court approves series of routine measures, rebids and appointments
Summary
The court approved motions to re-advertise the jail camera bid, accept county clerk excess fees and quarterly reports, adopt a statewide mutual-aid agreement, accept FEMA reimbursement authority for the February flood (KYEM Event No. 4860DR‑KY), approve several zoning second readings, award a fuel contract to Robinson Oil, approve facility rental rate increases, surplus road equipment on GovDeals, and several personnel appointments and hires.
At the end of the work session the court moved into its voting session and approved multiple items by voice vote. Key outcomes recorded on the floor:
- Authorization to re-advertise bids to upgrade the jail camera system (rebid due to inconsistent initial bid scopes). - Acceptance of the county clerk's partial 2024 excess fees ($52,008.79) and the clerk's quarterly report for 06/30/2025. - Authorization to approve and participate in a statewide emergency management mutual-aid and assistance agreement. - Approval of a resolution authorizing acceptance and processing of FEMA funds for cleanup and recovery under KYEM Event No. 4860DR‑KY and designation of the county judge to execute grant documents. - Tabling of the special-events ordinance (second reading) indefinitely to allow further staff and partner review. - Second-reading approvals of zone-map amendments for property at 1373 Peaks Mill Road (AG to RR) and for properties at 650 Evergreen Road (RR to AG). - Authorization to surplus road department equipment on GovDeals (motion included contingent requirement to add serial/VIN numbers where applicable). - Award of the county fuel bid to Robinson Oil for dyed and undyed diesel fuel (low bidder). - Personnel actions: approval to hire William Bourne as a county firefighter; promotion of Chris Tolles to engineer; hire Chase Demos as a light equipment operator; and reappointments/appointments to the Paul Sawyer Public Library board.
Votes were recorded as voice approvals with "aye" responses for motions reported on the record; no recorded roll-call tallies with individual yes/no names were supplied for each motion beyond the general voice vote in the minutes.
