Summary
The court adopted Ordinance No.1 (25 mph on Martin Lane) and approved two road-bond releases — Chelsey Park Drive ($16,770) and Watkins Glen Way ($23,227). A proposed fence for the recycling center and emergency-radio purchases were discussed but not approved.
The Spencer County Fiscal Court on Aug. 17 gave second reading and adopted Ordinance No. 1 (FY2021 Series), establishing a 25 miles-per-hour speed limit on Martin Lane (County Road 1055). The ordinance was adopted by roll-call vote after the second reading.
The Court also approved two road-bond releases. After engineer and road-foreman approval (QK4), the Court released the bond on Chelsey Park Drive in the amount of $16,770.00. Later in the meeting, the Court moved and approved release of the Watkins Glen Way bond for $23,227.00; Judge Riley noted the release would be paid to Smith and Long Excavating LLC and members discussed consulting county counsel regarding internal disputes among the contractor business.
Other infrastructure items drew discussion but no purchase approvals. Solid Waste committee members proposed fencing the recycling center with a six-foot chain-link fence and a 16-foot sliding gate to deter after-hours removal of metals and materials; two quotes were presented ($20,475 and $12,086) and a motion to accept the Metro Fence quote failed (all recorded 'nays'). The Court also reviewed a radio-equipment request for three handheld and two mobile radio units (for Coroner, Assistant Coroner, Animal Control and vehicles) and deferred action pending cost estimates.
The Court approved the releases and the ordinance by recorded motions; no further procurement for fencing or radio equipment was authorized at the meeting.
