Fiscal Court tables fire-station generator award, approves jail grant application, hires outreach coordinator and approves ASAP MOU
Summary
During the Sept. 11 voting session the Franklin County Fiscal Court voted to table awarding a fire-station generator bid to Veritec Inc., approved an application for a Kentucky Association of Counties insurance grant for the regional jail, authorized payment of claims, hired Ashley King as community outreach coordinator, and approved a memorandum of understanding with ASAP to coordinate opioid-recovery services.
At the close of its Sept. 11 work session the Franklin County Fiscal Court moved into a voting session and took several formal actions affecting procurement, grants and staffing.
Generator bid: A motion to table the authorization to award a sole bid for a replacement generator for Fire Station 9 (Evergreen Road) to Veritec Inc. was made and seconded during the voting session. Members voted to table the item for the next meeting to resolve questions about removal and surplus procedures for the existing generator and to allow staff to follow up with the vendor on removal costs and potential surplus handling.
Grant application for jail: The court approved a resolution authorizing the filing of an application to the Kentucky Association of Counties Insurance Grant Program on behalf of the Franklin County Regional Jail. The motion passed without recorded opposition.
Payment of claims and treasurer—s report: The court received the treasurer—s report and authorized payment of claims after discussion of several line items in jail and fire funds.
Hiring: The court authorized hiring Ashley King as a community outreach coordinator (motion made, seconded; vote recorded as passed during the session). The action was described as part of a new position the county will fill to support outreach and coordination activities.
ASAP MOU: The court approved a memorandum of understanding between Franklin County Fiscal Court and the Franklin County Agency for Substance Abuse Policy (ASAP) to support coordination of opioid-related and recovery services; ASAP will provide gross salary funding for a coordinator position and the county will cover benefits as discussed in the meeting (the treasurer indicated benefits would be covered by the general fund, roughly $20,000). The court recorded the motion and approved the MOU.
Adjournment: The court then adjourned the meeting.
Vote details: Where recorded in the transcript, motions were seconded and passed by voice vote; individual roll-call tallies were not recorded in the public work-session transcript for each listed motion.
