Barren County Fiscal Court approves routine payments, transfers and personnel actions at brief Jan. 6 meeting
Summary
At a brief, Zoom-option meeting on Jan. 6, 2026, the Barren County Fiscal Court approved the Dec. 16 minutes, payment of claims, a transfer of funds and several personnel actions; members did not record roll-call tallies and the court adjourned after confirming the in-person meeting schedule for later in the month.
Barren County Fiscal Court met Jan. 6, 2026, at 9 a.m. in a short Zoom-option session and approved routine business including the Dec. 16 minutes, payment of claims, a transfer of funds and personnel actions.
The meeting was convened with a roll call that recorded Jeff Fox, Derek Pedigo, Tim Durham, Tim Coomer, Marty Kendall, Ronnie Stinson, Brad Gross and Churchburg as present. The presiding speaker said the added meeting is intended primarily for bill payment and routine actions: "It's just bill pay only." The court noted county offices will be closed for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday before the next fiscal court session.
On motions, the court approved the minutes of Dec. 16, 2025. The motion was made by Botts and seconded by Derek Pedigo; members voiced 'aye' and the motion carried (no roll-call tally recorded). The court then approved payment of claims as presented on a motion by Tim Durham, seconded by Ronnie Stinson, with members responding verbally in favor.
A motion to approve a transfer of funds was made by Ronnie Stinson and seconded by Brad Gross; the court again voted verbally to approve the transfer. The court approved personnel actions as presented on a motion by Tim Coomer, seconded by Ronnie Stinson; the motion carried with verbal assent.
Before adjourning, the presiding speaker reminded magistrates that the second meeting of the month — typically the third Tuesday — will be in person, with committee chairs and department heads providing updates. A motion to adjourn, made by Derek Pedigo and seconded by Kummer, passed by verbal consent and the meeting was adjourned.
The transcript records motions and verbal approvals but does not include roll-call vote tallies or detailed descriptions of the personnel actions or the specific funds moved; those items were presented "as presented" in the meeting packet and are not specified in the recorded discussion.
