Bourbon County authorizes public‑works director to negotiate purchase of building and four acres
Summary
After an executive session, the commission authorized the public‑works director to seek a contract to buy a building and roughly 4 acres to the north for approximately $102,000, noting $85,000 in insurance savings will be applied; motion passed by voice vote.
After a brief executive session Aug. 12, the Bourbon County Commission voted to authorize the public‑works director to negotiate a contract to purchase a building and about four acres north of the current facility for approximately $102,000.
The motion stated the county would use insurance savings—about $85,000—as part of the funding, and commissioners indicated the county planned to pay cash for the purchase from those savings. "We've been setting money back, so this isn't new spending," a commissioner said during discussion.
The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records 'Aye' responses but does not include a roll‑call tally or identify the motion's mover by full name. Commissioners said the building purchase had been under discussion for years and would be signed by the chairman when finalized.
What's next: Public Works will proceed with contract negotiations and return details as needed for final approval and budgeting.
