Fleming County Fiscal Court approves first reading of 2021-22 budget ordinance
Summary
At a special April 22 meeting, the Fleming County Fiscal Court approved the first reading of Ordinance 21-1327, the proposed Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget, and unanimously approved an amended quarterly financial report and claims, according to minutes.
Fleming County Judge/Executive Larry H. Foxworthy opened a special meeting of the Fleming County Fiscal Court on April 22, 2021, at 8:35 a.m. at the Fleming County Courthouse in Flemingsburg. The court unanimously approved the first reading of Ordinance 21-1327, the proposed Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget, and recorded approvals of an amended quarterly financial report and the claims reports in the meeting minutes.
The minutes state that the proposed FY2021-2022 budget was reviewed and that discussion touched on the reapportionment process, audit expense for fee offices, a sidewalk project, a trash nuisance abatement ordinance and possible solar projects. The ordinance motion, as recorded in the minutes, sought to include an Annual Standing Order to pre-approve recurring expenses and to incorporate federal recovery funding "upon confirmation of award amount." The minutes refer to that funding as the "American Recovery Act"; the commonly used and legally correct name for pandemic-related county relief funds is the American Rescue Plan Act. The court recorded the ordinance first-reading motion and a unanimous vote (minutes list: Motion: Richie Kielman; Second: Donnie Fawns; vote recorded as "Unan."). The roll call earlier in the minutes shows five magistrates present and one absent.
County Treasurer Kathy Dryden presented an amended financial quarterly report ending March 31, 2021; the court recorded a motion to approve that report and a unanimous vote (Motion: David J. DeAtley; Second: Richie Kielman; vote recorded as "Unan."). The court also moved to approve the Claims reports as presented and recorded a unanimous vote (Motion: David J. DeAtley; Second: Ray H. Money; vote recorded as "Unan.").
The minutes record an earlier unanimous vote (Motion: Ray H. Money; Second: David J. DeAtley) without specifying the motion text. A motion to adjourn at 8:57 a.m. was recorded; the minutes note the motion but do not provide a recorded mover/second or vote tally for adjournment.
The minutes list those in attendance: Judge/Executive Larry H. Foxworthy; Fiscal Court Clerk Tammy L. Gray; Magistrates David J. DeAtley, Richie Kielman, James Smoot, Donnie Fawns and Ray H. Money; County Attorney Monica Hill; and County Treasurer Kathy Dryden. Magistrate Chris Hickerson was absent.
The minutes do not record debate transcripts or verbatim statements, and they do not specify dollar amounts, detailed schedules, or final adoption steps for the budget ordinance. The first reading of Ordinance 21-1327 passed; the minutes indicate incorporation of federal recovery funding will depend on the confirmed award amount. The minutes do not specify a date for a second reading, further hearings or administrative follow-up.
