Simpson County approves transfers, vendor claims, and seeks bridge funding; KSP dispatch costs noted
Summary
The fiscal court approved a $5,468.01 cash transfer from the Federal Grant Fund to the General Fund, a small internal budget transfer, and a lengthy list of vendor bills and payroll claims; it also authorized applying for 80/20 funding for the Kenny Perry Bridge and approved advertising for a 2023 pickup truck bid. Judge Executive Barnes reported the KSP dispatch service cost is set to rise to nearly $300,000 annually.
At its July 5 meeting, the Simpson County Fiscal Court carried several routine fiscal and procurement items and authorized an infrastructure grant application.
The court approved a cash transfer of $5,468.01 from the Federal Grant Fund to the General Fund and a $244 budget transfer (BRADD dues reclassification) from the transfer reserve. The court then reviewed and approved a comprehensive list of bills, vendor payments and payroll items submitted by county staff; the ledger entries were accepted as presented.
Magistrate Chandler moved and the court approved advertising for bids for a 2023 pickup truck for the Public Works Department.
The court authorized staff to apply for 80/20 funding for the Kenny Perry Bridge Project, a step that preserves eligibility for state/federal matching funds while staff prepare the formal grant application.
Judge Executive Mason Barnes also reported that the Kentucky State Police dispatch service is set to increase to nearly $300,000 annually, and the meeting record lists related cell-phone-fee revenue of approximately $186,370—figures that could influence future budget choices.
No contested vendor claims or budget disputes were recorded in the meeting minutes; the court recorded the approval votes as Yes-All.
