Fleming County Fiscal Court authorizes opioid settlement and approves several fiscal items
Summary
At a June 30 special meeting, the Fleming County Fiscal Court unanimously authorized Resolution 21-1338 tied to the county's opioid settlement and approved claims reports, cash transfers, vendor rate changes, a vehicle purchase and a GASB 87 lease-reporting threshold. Several administrative topics were discussed but not decided.
Fleming County Judge-Executive Larry H. Foxworthy called a special meeting of the Fleming County Fiscal Court to order at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Fleming County Courthouse in Flemingsburg. Magistrates Richie Kielman, James Smoot, Donnie Fawns and Ray H. Money were present; magistrates Chris Hickerson and David J. DeAtley were absent.
The court unanimously approved a series of routine fiscal motions. Among the actions recorded in the meeting minutes, magistrates approved claims reports for fiscal years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022, authorized cash transfers, ratified Hanson Aggregates rates for fiscal year 2021-2022 effective June 14, 2021, and approved the purchase of an SUV for inmate transport.
Most notably, the court approved and authorized Resolution 21-1338 and the county's opioid settlement agreement, and granted the County Judge-Executive authority to sign and execute any related documents. The resolution and settlement authorization were recorded as approved unanimously.
The court also voted to set a reporting threshold of $1,200.00 for lease expenses under GASB 87 accounting rules. The minutes record the motion and a unanimous vote on that threshold.
Members spent time in discussion on several administrative topics that did not result in formal action in the minutes: the possibility of hiring a full-time transport officer, issues related to Court Square properties, exploring countywide planning and zoning, and prospects for local solar projects. The transcript does not show formal directions or assignments tied to those discussions.
