The Barren County Fiscal Court voted to approve a library agreement and accompanying resolution that the transcript records as keeping the library tax at 2.9 (units as stated in the transcript). Motion to approve was made by Butts and seconded by Brad Gross; the motion passed on roll-call votes recorded in the transcript.
During discussion the presiding official said the court had "a great meeting the other day" with library representatives and would "work with them to hopefully address their needs, to not have to do any kind of tax increase and to be able to support them." The court recorded affirmative votes from Tim Durham, Tim Coomer, Brad Gross and Jeff Busch; the motion passed.
The transcript does not record an amended tax rate, additional funding amounts or a detailed breakdown of how the court will support library needs; officials said they would work with the library to address needs without implementing a tax increase. The resolution and agreement were approved as presented in the meeting; the court did not record any further committee or directive language in the provided segments.
