Summary

The Campbell County Fiscal Court approved a series of routine but consequential items at its meeting, including passage of a transportation ordinance, multiple personnel actions, contract awards and budget transfers.
Transportation and ordinances: The court passed on second reading ordinance O 11-24 creating the Campbell County Transportation Improvement District (TID). Two additional ordinances were introduced on first reading: O 012-24 to amend the county’s animals chapter and O 013-24 to rezone roughly 6.7 acres at the intersection of State Route 154 (Peachgrove) and U.S. 27 from A-1 (agricultural) to Rural Commercial; both were first readings and will return for future consideration.
Resolutions and grants: The court approved resolution R 79-24 affiliating with the Campbell County Landsar team for 2025 and resolution R 80-24 setting AJ Jolly golf course rates for the 2025 season. The judge executive was authorized to accept 2024 spay/neuter grant funds from the Kentucky Department of Agriculture.
Personnel and appointments: The court approved several personnel actions, including adoption of resolution R 81-24 (administrative code modification), adoption of the 2025 holiday schedule, creation of a full-time assistant golf professional position, adoption of 2025 pay rates and authorized positions for variable staff, promotion of Benjamin Skaggs to Building Inspector 2 (effective 12/15/2024), advancement of Robert Diamond to Police Sergeant 2 (effective 12/08/2024), and advancement of Storm Painter to Police Officer 2 (effective 12/29/2024). The court accepted resignations from communications coordinator Sarah Etler (effective 11/07/2024) and park technician Randy Shar Stein (effective 12/02/2024) and authorized recruitment to fill vacancies.
Board appointments: The court appointed Lieutenant David J. Rogers Jr. to the Central Campbell County Fire District Board of Trustees to fill an unexpired term (effective 12/04/2024 through 06/30/2028) and reappointed Kathy Lauer and Jennifer (transcript contains variants 'Bridal' and later 'Teipel') to the Cooperative Extension District Board for three-year terms beginning 01/01/2025.
Finance and contracts: Finance staff presented and the court approved resolution R 86-24 declaring county-owned personal property surplus. The court approved a $5,872 change order for Jefferson Contracting on the Marl Ridge Street replacement project, bringing the total to $468,486 (still $72,230 below the next lowest bidder). The court approved the bid from Tom (transcript later shows 'Todd') Johnson contracting to replace one Plum Creek Road structure for $314,398.79; the work will be offset by KYTC 80/20 bridge funding and was included in the FY25 budget. The court also approved budget transfers and interfund transfers dated 11/30/2024 and approved claims for payment; one commissioner recused himself from employee-benefits-related claims due to an employer relationship.
Votes at a glance: The record shows the following actions were approved by voice vote or unanimous aye responses — Ordinance O 11-24 (second reading) approved; Resolutions R 79-24, R 80-24, R 81-24, R 82-24, R 83-24, R 84-24, R 85-24, R 86-24 approved; spay/neuter grant accepted; promotions and appointments approved; change order and bid awards approved; budget transfers and claims approved. The transcript records voice votes with general "aye" responses rather than a roll-call tally for most items.
Next steps: Items on first reading will return for a subsequent hearing; staff were authorized to proceed with hiring recommendations and procurement steps already authorized by the court.
