Carlisle County Fiscal Court adopts FY24-25 budget, approves MOU and multiple routine motions

The Carlisle County Fiscal Court adopted its fiscal year 24-25 budget after a public hearing and second reading; the court approved the measure by voice vote, setting county spending for the coming year.

In the same session, the court approved a memorandum of understanding with the Kentucky State Police to exchange selected computer-aided dispatch (CAD) entries between agencies, voted to purchase county insurance for the year, and accepted three 2025 grant-funded improvements for the 911 system. County officials also approved multiple routine financial settlements and transfers, including a 23 tax settlement, a 'far dues' tax settlement, a franchise tax settlement, and the quarterly final settlement.

Other administrative approvals included acknowledgment of the monthly county reports and acceptance of the county property-loss report; motion to acknowledge several volunteer fire department budgets and rosters; approval of sheriff state aid; setting maximum salaries for county employees for 2025; and ratification of updates to the county administrative code (which added a director position and clarified holiday pay). The court moved and approved paying county claims and bills during the meeting.

Most votes were taken by voice; the court recorded motions, seconds and carried outcomes without roll-call tallies in the transcript. The court also scheduled a revised meeting date and authorized staff to prepare a sample medical-marijuana ballot resolution for a future meeting.
