Court approves $159,000 AOC grant for courthouse concrete work and clears consent agenda
Summary
Barren County accepted $159,000 from the Administrative Office of the Courts for courthouse concrete repairs and approved a group of routine claims, invoices and grants, including waste-tire closing and several vendor payments.
The Barren County Fiscal Court approved a memorandum of understanding with the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) to receive $159,000 for repairs to the courthouse inner-square concrete and stairways. The court voted to accept the funds by motion; the project is scheduled to begin in April, and the agreement will be signed as part of grant closing procedures.
The motion to approve the MOU was made by Ronnie Stinson and seconded by Kumar; the item passed on a voice vote with the chair noting excitement to receive the funds. The court said it would partner with the city of Glasgow on adjacent lawn repairs.
Separately, the court approved a broad consent package of routine items by motion including payment of claims, fund transfers, appointments to boards and councils, personnel actions, and several vendor invoices. Notable approvals recorded in the transcript: Pedego Lisonbee invoice for $8,511.96 (bond), Team First Sports $10,000 (uniform down payment), Baron River Area Development District $11,250, M and M Excavating $11,880 (snow/ice work), Cars, Ringing & Ingram audit invoice $20,000, and Kentucky workers' compensation invoices ($28,818 and $512,179.64). The transcript indicates these passed on motion and voice votes; individual roll-call tallies were not recorded for these items in the meeting transcript.
The court also authorized the judge executives to sign the FY closing report for the waste tire grant and accepted the 2025 solid waste annual management report.
The transcript does not record detailed roll-call tallies for these consent items; the meeting recorded motions, seconders and voice votes for each approval.
