Lyon County fiscal court reads budget amendment, hears bids and greenlights Friendship Road agreement
Summary
The court held first readings of ordinance 01-2025 to amend the FY24–25 budget (adding $2,574,249.35 to include unbudgeted FEMA/AOC/HB1 receipts), heard a single $59,004.89 boiler bid for the judicial center, and read resolution 2025-02 accepting $250,549 from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for the Friendship Road project.
At the Lyon County Fiscal Court meeting, Speaker 3 read the first reading of ordinance 01-2025, which would amend the fiscal year 2024–25 budget to add $2,574,249.35 in receipts and appropriations to reflect unbudgeted AOC reimbursements, FEMA payments and an HB1 state grant. A complete text is available in the clerk’s office, the reader said.
Speaker 2 presented a bid related to the judicial center boiler: “Total bid is $59,004.89,” plus optional work to replace a hot-water pump and suction diffuser for $11,321 and a magnetic strainer for $10,009.75. Court members discussed that the boiler had failed and that separate line items covered the boiler, pump and strainer; the county will follow procurement rules and bid vehicle purchases over $40,000.
The court also heard the reading of resolution 2025-02, adopting a memorandum of agreement with the Commonwealth of Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Department of Highways, to accept $250,549 for the Friendship Road grid replacement project and authorizing the Judge Executive to sign the agreement.
For the ordinance reading, Speaker 2 called for a voice vote; the transcript records affirmative responses and Speaker 2 saying, “Motion carries.” The record shows the court took voice votes on the readings and resolutions; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally by name for each vote.
Members reviewed budget presentation details, noting the second column in the materials shows differences between proposals from the jailer and the judge executive; a proposed vehicle purchase was removed from the budget for now. The senior center’s small capital items were discussed — the ice machine has estimates that exceed its $5,000 line item — and facility maintenance items such as gutter replacement were noted as likely higher cost because four-inch gutters are no longer commonly available.
The court closed discussion by agreeing to follow procurement rules and to bring certain items back in March/April for further presentation. The resolution adopting the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet agreement was read and accepted in summary; members did not record extended debate on that item during this meeting.
