Spencer County Fiscal Court approves zoning changes, personnel moves and budget amendment in April meeting
Summary
At its April 19 virtual meeting the Spencer County Fiscal Court approved multiple zoning changes, reappointed a fire-district trustee, authorized personnel hires and pay changes, approved a budget amendment and ordered unspent litter-abatement funds returned to the state.
The Spencer County Fiscal Court voted on several administrative and land-use items during its April 19, 2021, virtual meeting, approving a package of zoning requests, staff changes and a budget amendment.
Judge/Executive John Riley opened the meeting and the court approved minutes from April 5. The court then approved six second-reading zoning requests recommended by the Planning Board, including rezones on Cotton Lane, Driscoll Road, Little Elk Road, Roberts Road and Willow Run Court, and an amendment to binding elements for Taylorsville Church of Christ. Motions were recorded by roll call; Magistrate Jerry Moody was noted as absent for votes because of a video connectivity issue.
The court reappointed Ray Wilson Armstrong to a three-year term on the Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire Protection District Board of Trustees. It also approved hiring Russell McGeehee as a jail transport/run employee pending background check and drug screening, and authorized an amended motion to restripe the jailer’s vehicle at a cost not to exceed $600.
On personnel pay, the court approved increasing Remey Gnagnie’s pay to $14.00 an hour after the clerk’s packet confirmed completion of advanced EMT training and passage of national registry testing.
Finance items included approval of Budget Amendment No. 2 to add unbudgeted receipts (including CARES, CDBG and state grants) and related expenditures across General, Road, Jail and Federal Grants funds. The court also approved returning unspent 2020 litter-abatement funds to the Kentucky State Treasurer (amount in packet: $14,938.27). The meeting record shows the court approved the invoices, transfers (including a $60,000 transfer from the General Fund to the Jail Fund) and other listed expenditures before adjourning at about 8:35 p.m.
“Until we get the video straightened out, maybe it would be best that he didn’t have him in the meeting,” County Attorney Ken Jones said about the technical issue with a magistrate’s camera. Judge Riley directed staff to note attendance and proceed with recorded votes. The court’s actions were administrative in nature and will be reflected in the official minutes and posted packet.
