Montgomery County court approves vehicle ordinance, road resurfacing money and authorizes opioid-settlement participation
Summary
At its July 15 meeting, the Montgomery County court approved the second reading of an ordinance regulating street-legal special-purpose vehicles, adopted a resolution to accept $354,000 for resurfacing two roads, approved several leases and appointments, and authorized the county judge executive to sign opioid-settlement participation agreements.
The Montgomery County court on July 15 approved multiple administrative actions and ordinances, including the second reading of an ordinance regulating street-legal special-purpose vehicles, a $354,000 resurfacing agreement with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, and authorization for the county judge executive to sign participation agreements for pending opioid-defendant settlements.
The court conducted a second reading of an ordinance setting parameters for operating street-legal special-purpose vehicles in the county and carried the motion. The presiding official asked the sheriff to publicly brief residents about the ordinance so people understand operating rules, and the sheriff acknowledged that briefing would be provided.
The court also approved a resolution authorizing the county judge executive to sign an agreement with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for resurfacing Bellevue Drive and Cecil Road in the amount of $354,000 from the B14 fund. The resolution was presented to the court and a motion to adopt and authorize signature was carried.
Other formal actions included approval of a two-year lease for 208.35 square feet at 108 Lower Street, Suite 122, with the Buffalo Trace Area Development District for a total quarterly payment of $495.63, and the naming of the new senior center using funds from the sale of a former senior-center property (the transcript refers to the proposed name variously as "Mary Ray Trimble Place" and "Mary Ray Franklin Place"). The court also moved to appoint Chelsea Coleman to fill the remainder of Greg Waters' term on the Mount Sterling/Montgomery County Recreation Commission, with the term to expire June 1, 2028.
On opioid litigation, the court reviewed several deadlines tied to the Purdue Pharma bankruptcy, the Sackler settlement and new settlements with additional defendants, and voted to authorize the county judge executive to sign participation agreements and submit votes via DocuSign on the listed settlements. The court noted deadlines (as presented to the bench) including Sept. 16, 2025 for the Purdue plan, Oct. 1, 2025 for new settlements with additional defendants, and Sept. 30, 2025 as a government-entity participation-agreement deadline.
The actions were presented and adopted as routine business during the court session. The meeting adjourned after departmental reports.
