Pike County approves $96,758 flood-control match and authorizes litter-abatement application
Summary
Fiscal Court adopted a resolution to file for a $96,758 local-match grant for the Coal Run flood risk management project and authorized applying for a 2025 litter-abatement grant, both approved by unanimous roll calls.
Pike County Fiscal Court voted to adopt a resolution authorizing filing for a flood-control match grant in the amount of $96,758 and to execute related documents, and separately authorized applying for a 2025 litter-abatement grant.
Judge Jones explained the $96,758 would serve as part of a 5% local match for the Coal Run flood risk management project; Sharon confirmed the county would request assistance from the Department for Local Government (DLG) and noted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was the Corps partner on the broader project. Commissioner Atkins moved to adopt the resolution and Commissioner Scott seconded; a roll call showed unanimous approval.
The court also authorized staff to apply for the 2025 litter-abatement grant and to sign related documents. The motion (moved by Commissioner Abshire, seconded by Commissioner Atkins) passed by roll call.
Court members emphasized the practical need for grant revenue to support matching requirements and mitigation projects.
Next steps: staff to file the flood-control match request with DLG and complete the litter‑abatement grant application paperwork.
