Campbell County fiscal court approves ordinances, contracts and authorizes opioid litigation steps
Summary
At its July 3 meeting the Campbell County Fiscal Court approved a second reading and adoption of an ordinance expanding the motor vehicle license fee to include peer-to-peer and rideshare services, extended a Rumpke contract, authorized election grant paperwork, and authorized counsel to pursue amended opioid litigation filings and settlement participation.
Campbell County Fiscal Court approved a slate of routine and policy measures at its July 3 meeting, including adopting a second reading of Ordinance O7-24 to expand the county—s motor vehicle license fee to include peer-to-peer car sharing and transportation network services, extending a contract with Rumpke for recycling and cleanup trash services, and authorizing litigation steps in the county—s ongoing opioid case.
The court adopted Ordinance O7-24, an update triggered by recent changes to state law that broaden the types of motor vehicle services subject to the local license fee and direct disbursements to the Tri-County Economic Development Corporation. The motion was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote.
The court approved Resolution R5824 to extend contracts with Rumpke of Kentucky Inc. for recyclables collection and trash disposal at county cleanup events. County officials said the contract carries a modest increase of roughly $20 per load for dumpster emptying while changes to recycling collection locations and frequency should slightly lower total recycling costs next year.
County leaders also approved a resolution (R6024) authorizing the filing of a Help America Vote Act application with the Kentucky State Board of Elections for up to $8,300 to purchase or upgrade election equipment, plastic carts and privacy screens; the judge executive was authorized to execute necessary documents and to serve as the authorized correspondent for the project.
Following a brief executive session on pending litigation, the court approved a resolution authorizing county counsel to file an amended complaint and execute settlement participation forms related to the county—s participation in opioid litigation. The court recorded the motion, a second and a voice vote to carry the measure.
Other approved items included an OKI (Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments) services agreement for $30,921, authorization to solicit quotes or bids for an inmate TV system supported by a $50,000 50/50 match grant from the R.C. Durr Foundation, and routine personnel and board appointments.
The court took no action while in executive session and returned to public session before voting on the opioid-related resolution. The meeting ended after the court approved its claims and claims paid; one commissioner recused from votes on employee benefits claims citing an employer relationship.
