Marshall County approves economic development contract extension, hires parks director and clears routine transfers
Summary
The fiscal court approved a six-month extension to a contract with Kentucky Lake Economic Development, hired Brian Harper as parks director at $57,000, approved a surplus tractor sale, accepted transfers including a $22,421.09 transient tax transfer, and approved payment of bills.
Marshall County Fiscal Court approved a series of routine actions on Jan. 6, including a temporary contract extension with Kentucky Lake Economic Development, the hiring of a parks director and several budget transfers.
The court approved a six-month contract extension to transition the county's agreement with Kentucky Lake Economic Development from a calendar year to a fiscal-year cycle. A commissioner said aligning the contract with the county and KLED budgets 'makes sense' and the motion carried.
The court authorized the Road Department to surplus a 2012 John Deere tractor and list it on GovDeals; staff said a new tractor is in Mayfield and should be delivered in the coming weeks. The court also approved the sheriff's annual order setting maximum deputy pay and approved a hiring motion to appoint Brian Harper as parks director at a salary of $57,000. Harper thanked the court and described early priorities: meet staff, focus on maintenance and spring cleaning, assist with the Jan. 17 Miracle Gala, and pursue park projects including concession stands, playground improvements, resurfacing and lighting.
Treasurer Erica presented the monthly November treasurer's report, noted it 'does not go to the state,' and presented an appropriation transfer of $130 and a transient tax transfer of $22,421.09; the court approved bank transfers, the transfers and payment of bills. The meeting concluded after adjournment was moved and approved.
These approvals were recorded in the meeting minutes; votes in the transcript are recorded as general 'Aye' with motions carrying but no roll-call tallies were read aloud.
