Christian County’s fiscal court used its special call to complete a slate of routine fiscal and personnel items, approving multiple fund expenditures, accepting treasury reports and adopting two fiscal year 2025 budgets.
On motions from the bench, the court approved general fund, road and bridge, jail fund, LGA, 9-1-1, health fund and American Rescue Plan expenditures; most items were considered on motion, second and either roll-call or voice votes with affirmative responses recorded for members present.
The treasurer presented cash-transfer and budget-transfer items and the cash and investment report for Nov. 30, which the court accepted subject to audit. The clerk’s FY2025 budget (calendar-year alignment noted) and the county sheriff’s FY2025 budget were each moved, seconded and approved.
The court also confirmed reappointments and appointments to local boards — including the Little River Water Quality Consortium, Hopkinsville‑Christian County Airport Board, Solid Waste Authority Board, Assessment Board of Appeals and the ethics committee — and approved several employees’ removals from 90‑day probation effective Jan. 1, 2025. Payments to Board of Elections commissioners and an audit‑related payment schedule were approved; staff explained that non‑election years will move to quarterly business.
All of these items were passed on motions during the special call; the court set the next regular meeting for Jan. 14, 2025, and adjourned.
