Summary
At its February meeting, the Woodford County Fiscal Court approved administrative and budget items including an application-deadline extension for the road supervisor position, a $17,550 gate contract, surplus equipment disposal, several transfers and a first reading to adopt new county roads.
The Woodford County Fiscal Court handled multiple routine but consequential items at its meeting, approving personnel and procurement actions, transfers and the first reading of new county roads.
Personnel and hiring: The court extended the application deadline for the Woodford County Road Supervisor position until the coming Friday on a motion by Esquire Carl, seconded by Esquire Gentry; the motion carried unanimously.
Capital and procurement: The court approved a $17,550 contract with Eads Fence Company to install an automatic gate at the Woodford County Road Department entrance. The clerk also asked to declare three Dell computers and two monitors surplus for disposal at the Solid Waste & Recycling Center; that motion passed unanimously.
Finance and transfers: The judge approved bills to be paid after clarification from Director Drew Chandler that some charges related to the April 2025 flood and FEMA cost-share accounting. The court approved a $795 sheriff's-office acquisition from asset forfeiture funds (Huffman acquisition), approved presented transfers, and ratified a prior email approval of an additional transfer list.
Roads and ordinances: Squire Jackie Brown moved and Squire Gentry seconded a motion to begin first reading for adoption of Laurelind Lane into the county road system (ordinance 25-20); the court approved the first reading and will advertise for second reading. County Attorney read a separate first-reading ordinance to incorporate Larlan Lane (2,415 feet, 0.457 miles) into the county road system; second reading is scheduled for March 24.
Leases: The court approved a one-year farm lease renewal between the fiscal court and Mr. Fred Lane and authorized the judge executive to sign any related documents.
All motions referenced above were recorded in the meeting as carrying without objection.
