Fiscal Court takes first reading of FY2025 budget amendment and discusses winter road operations
Summary
Magoffin County Fiscal Court took the first reading of a FY2025 budget amendment described as mid‑year additions and corrections, and members praised public works crews while explaining limits to plowing gravel roads during recent winter storms.
Magoffin County Fiscal Court took the first reading of a fiscal year 2025 budget amendment and spent time discussing county winter road operations during the meeting.
Unidentified Speaker 3 introduced the first reading of the first budget amendment for FY2025, describing it as a mid‑year set of additions and corrections to the county budget. The item was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote at first reading; the transcript does not record a roll‑call or numeric tally.
Members also reviewed recent storm response. Unidentified Speaker 3 thanked county road crews and garage staff for long hours and overtime during a period of ice, snow and cold, saying crews had "only had a couple days off during the past couple weeks." The speaker urged patience from residents while cleanup continues.
On gravel roads, the court explained operational limits: when plows run on loose gravel they can push up ground and create damage, so county crews focus plowing on paved roads. "The plows just don't work on the ground," Unidentified Speaker 3 said, and the court asked residents to clear sidewalks or driveways by hand to avoid creating additional maintenance needs.
The budget amendment remains at first reading; the transcript does not record a final adoption. Several routine administrative items were approved earlier in the meeting, and the court proceeded to other business after the discussion on winter operations.
