Fiscal Court approves ordinances, resolutions, appointments and procurement in consent-style session

The Campbell County Fiscal Court met Dec. 5 and approved a series of routine and substantive items, including ordinances, resolutions, staffing appointments and purchases.

On old business the court adopted Ordinance O-1224, which amends Chapter 90 (Animals) of the Campbell County Code of Ordinances, and Ordinance O-1324, which updates the official zoning map to rezone a parcel at the intersection of State Route 154/Peach Grove Road and U.S. 27 from agricultural (A1A1) to rural commercial (RC). Both measures passed on second reading by voice vote after motions and seconds were recorded.

Under new business the court approved Resolution R87-24, which sets AJ Jolly and Pendry Park fees for the 2025 park season; and Resolution R88-24, authorizing the Judge Executive to execute an agreement with Nexigan Communications, LLC, for the Campbell County Jobs Development Program. The court also approved Resolution R89-24, accepting a Rescue Aid grant from the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management to purchase two portable radios and accessories for the county Landsar team; the estimated project cost is $11,453 with a grant match of up to 20% (about $2,291), and matching funds were included in the OEM FY25 budget.

The court approved procurement and contract actions: authorization to purchase three unmarked police vehicles (low quote recorded as $40,007.55 per vehicle, total approximately $122,265) to support the police social worker expansion and replace a high-mileage detective vehicle; and an extension of the SLCS Cleaning janitorial contract through calendar year 2025 at the contracted rate of $3,950 per month (about $47,400 annually). All procurement items were noted as included in the FY25 budget.

Personnel and board actions carried by voice vote: the court appointed Kimberly Canniff as full-time Communications and Public Outreach Coordinator (effective Dec. 19, 2024) and reappointed Tara Halpin to the BNY Board of Directors for a three-year term effective Sept. 1, 2024, through Aug. 31, 2027. The court also approved claims and claims paid per standing order for multiple December 2024 dates after county attorney review.

Most votes were taken by voice and recorded as carrying; no roll-call tallies were read into the record. The court also rescheduled January meetings—moving the Jan. 1 meeting and establishing meetings on Jan. 8 (Alexandria Courthouse) and Jan. 22, 2025—before adjourning.
