Carlisle Fiscal Court approves multi-county drug task force MOU
Summary
The Carlisle County Fiscal Court voted to approve a Memorandum of Understanding to join a regional drug task force with Ballard, Hickman and Fulton counties; the county said the agreement largely mirrors neighboring countiesmodels and will be revisited if revisions are needed.
The Carlisle County Fiscal Court voted to approve a Memorandum of Understanding to participate in a regional drug task force linking Ballard, Carlisle, Hickman and Fulton counties.
Clerk introduced the MOU as the local agreement "pursuant to the KRS" and asked for a motion to approve. Ben, who worked on the draft, told the court it "pretty much mirrors" arrangements used in nearby counties and said he would answer any questions. "If we do [need changes], then we'll revisit this," Ben said, adding that the group could adopt a revised agreement at a later meeting.
Members moved and seconded adoption of the MOU, and the motion carried on a voice vote with no recorded dissent. The court did not record any specific fiscal attachments or an implementation timeline in the public portion of the meeting. Ben noted county attorney review is in progress ("Mike Stacy's overlooked it"), and the court agreed to proceed while reserving the option to amend the agreement.
The court did not record a roll-call tally naming individual yes/no votes in the transcript; the board approved the MOU by voice vote.
What happens next: court staff and law-enforcement partners will complete paperwork and implement the operational steps described in the MOU; the meeting record indicates the court may return to the item if edits are necessary.
