Commission encumbers $50,000 for solar-related legal costs
Summary
The Bourbon County Commission voted to encumber $50,000 to cover attorney fees related to lawsuits filed against the commission over solar panels; the motion passed by voice vote with one abstention.
The commission moved to encumber $50,000 to cover attorney fees for litigation the county faces related to solar-panel disputes. Commission discussion was limited by litigation confidentiality, but a commissioner said that conversations with counsel indicated the appropriation was necessary to ensure adequate representation.
The motion passed by voice vote with one member recorded as abstaining. Commissioners described the encumbrance as a dedicated amount to cover legal costs tied to the pending lawsuits; the item does not itself change policy but secures money to meet legal obligations while litigation proceeds.
