Votes at a glance: tractor bid, ADU and liquor ordinances, budgets, appraisal and claims approved
Summary
At the meeting the court accepted a $69,000 tractor bid, adopted an ADU zoning amendment and a county liquor control ordinance on second readings, approved sheriff and county budgets (with a corrected Housing Trust Fund figure), authorized an appraisal and negotiation for a Campbellsburg property, and added a pending CDBG administrative invoice to claims.
Henry County Fiscal Court took several procedural and formal actions during the meeting. Key outcomes:
- Tractor bid: The court opened three bids for a John Deere tractor; Clark Heavy Equipment submitted a 2011 John Deere bid for $69,000 and the court approved moving forward with that bid (motion recorded and carried).
- Accessory dwelling units (ADUs): The court adopted the ADU ordinance amendment on second reading. Planning staff said no changes had been made since first reading and the Planning Commission recommended approval.
- County alcohol ordinance: The second reading of the ordinance regulating the retail sale and transfer of alcoholic beverages in Henry County was read and adopted (court cited KRS 67.083 as authority).
- Budgets: Sheriff Keith presented the sheriff's budget (estimated receipts $1,037,770.38; estimated disbursements $1,025,173.58) and the court approved it on second reading. County budget presenter Shanda Clark corrected a Housing Trust Fund figure (transcript correction from $1,550 to $15,500) that raised estimated receipts; the court approved the corrected budget on second reading.
- Property appraisal and negotiation: After a brief closed session on property matters, the court authorized an appraisal of the former Campbellsburg ambulance building and lot and authorized Scott to negotiate with the budget committee and report back.
- Claims and CDBG administrative invoice: The court approved adding a pending administrative invoice (listed in the record as from 'HIPTA') for $15,000 related to a CDBG grant for an 'Angels' sewer project so payment can be processed when funds arrive.
