Bourbon County commission approves consent payments and lowers speed limit on Yale/Veil Road
Summary
Commission approved consent agenda items including accounts payable and payroll, heard public comments about roads and development, and voted to reduce the speed limit on Yale/Veil Road to 35 mph between Highway 31 and the pavement/county line.
The Bourbon County Commission approved routine financial items and took action on a local road speed limit after public comment about maintenance and safety.
A motion to approve the consent agenda—highlighting accounts payable of $382,295.49 and payroll of $584,726—was made and seconded; commissioners discussed roughly $700 charged from a diversion fund to local flower shops but the items had already been paid and the motion carried.
During public comment, resident Brent Smith thanked road crews and raised concern about grader staffing and coverage for extended absences; public works manager Eric said crews are rotating operators and prioritizing ditch work to cover needs while equipment is repaired.
Separately, a commissioner moved and the board approved lowering the speed limit on Yale/Veil Road to 35 mph from Highway 31 to the paved section/county line. Staff said the change will be posted within two working days after notifying the appropriate authorities.
The meeting concluded with announcements about an upcoming Uniontown Old Settlers celebration and a motion to adjourn.
