Prairie County Fiscal Court approves emergency declaration, road and water project payments
Summary
The Prairie County Fiscal Court approved routine minutes and payments, a declaration of a local state of emergency for new flood damage, road-aid agreements and multiple water-infrastructure requisitions including a $175,894.43 KIA payment for Vicco Waterline replacements.
The Prairie County Fiscal Court moved through its agenda with a series of voice votes approving minutes, invoices, transfers, road-aid agreements, water-project requisitions and a local state of emergency to respond to new flood damage.
The court approved the minutes of the prior meeting (motion by Spencer; second by Church) and approved bill payments and invoices as presented (motions recorded as by Combs and seconded by Church). The court approved financial transfers (motion by Church; second by Spencer) by voice vote.
Officials approved the county road aid allotment for fiscal year 2026 and noted one agreement in the record showing $222,000; the court also discussed that state "flex" funds are restricted to resurfacing paved roads and cannot be used to pave currently gravel roads. The court approved a municipal road-aid agreement corrected in the record to fiscal year 2025.
The court accepted the first-quarter report from the Prairie County Sheriff's Department and noted the new facility and drive-through services are serving constituents.
The court approved a declaration of a local state of emergency to allow response and repairs for new flood-related road breaks and mudslides reported since the most recent event. The motion passed by voice vote.
On water infrastructure, the court approved KIA payment number 3 for the Vicco Waterline Board replacements in the amount read aloud as $175,894.43 (identified as grant/’grama’ funds). The court also approved requisition certificate number 14 for the Skyview water-and-sewer infrastructure project; multiple grant subaccounts and dollar amounts were read into the record but several of those figures were garbled in the transcript and are not fully specified here. The court approved an interlocal agreement with the City of Hazard governing operations and maintenance of the downtown parking structure and then adjourned.
Most motions were recorded as passing by voice vote; recorded movers and seconders included Spencer, Church and Combs on various items, and no roll-call tallies were provided in the meeting record.
