Fiscal Court gives first reading to Greenup County motor-vehicle impound ordinance
Summary
The court gave a first reading to an ordinance allowing the sheriff's office to impound vehicles seized in drug-related arrests and to establish a hearing board and fee schedule under cited KRS provisions.
Greenup County Fiscal Court on Nov. 12 conducted a first reading of an ordinance to allow the Greenup County Sheriff's Office to impound vehicles seized in drug-related arrests and to establish a Motor Vehicle Impound Hearing Board.
The presenter explained the ordinance is intended to provide a place for the sheriff’s office to secure vehicles seized in drug enforcement operations and clarified it is not designed to affect private impound businesses. The reading cited Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) as the basis for authority, including KRS 70.155 and KRS 82.625; the court also referenced a KRS fee schedule for impoundment.
A motion to place the first reading into effect today was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote. The court instructed staff to include the ordinance on next month’s agenda for follow up and further action.
The ordinance text as presented reserves adjudicative review and hearing procedures under the proposed hearing board and links the fee schedule to KRS guidance. No final vote on adoption was held; this was a first-reading procedural step.
