Ohio County Fiscal Court approves minutes, bills, two ordinances and declares two vehicles surplus
Summary
The court approved minutes and bills, passed second readings by unanimous roll call of two ordinances including one tied to the county public facilities corporation, and declared two damaged Ford Explorers surplus to be sold, with proceeds directed to an emergency fund.
At its January 2026 session, Ohio County Fiscal Court approved routine business and several formal actions.
The court approved the minutes for the prior meeting after a motion by Jason Bullock and a second (voice vote). The court then approved bills, payments and transfers after a motion by Jason Bullock and a second by Michael McKinney; a magistrate questioned three $550 voucher claims routed through an organization identified as "ASAP," and the county attorney was asked later to review the legality of those payments.
The court held second readings and passed two ordinances by unanimous roll call. The chair announced: "The second reading of ordinance 20 20 six-one, Hawaii County Public Facility Corporation did pass unanimously." The roll-call sequence recorded 'Yes' votes from Bennett, Johnston, Bivens, Morphew, McKinney and Bullock. The court likewise recorded unanimous approval of "ordinance 20 20 six-two," an administrative code amendment.
The court also declared two older Ford Explorers surplus and authorized their sale on GovDeals; members agreed proceeds should be returned to the emergency fund that paid for replacement vehicles.
No additional fiscal appropriations tied to these actions were recorded in the meeting transcript. The court asked staff to provide copies of permit filings requested by residents on other agenda items and directed the county attorney to advise on open-records procedure when needed.
