Spencer County Fiscal Court rezones Mill Road property, approves local spending and personnel moves
Summary
At its Nov. 15 meeting the court approved a zoning change for a 1.54-acre Mill Road parcel, gave first reading to a 15-mph ordinance for Washburn Lane, and approved a range of local expenditures and personnel actions including plumbing repairs, a Recycling Center hire, and board reappointments.
The Spencer County Fiscal Court on Nov. 15, 2021 approved a rezoning request for a 1.54-acre tract on Mill Road, gave first reading to a reduced speed ordinance for Washburn Lane, and approved multiple local spending and personnel items.
The court adopted an ordinance to rezone property at 3650 Mill Road owned by Robert L. and Nina S. Jones from AG-1 Agricultural to R-1 Residential based on the planning commission’s recommendation. The motion to approve the rezoning was made by Esq. Beaverson, seconded by Esq. Travis and recorded as adopted with all members present voting "Aye."
On traffic matters the court gave first reading to an ordinance establishing a 15 mph speed limit on Washburn Lane (County Road 1128) after a resident request; the first reading passed with one magistrate, Esq. Beaverson, recorded as voting "nay." A second reading will be required before the ordinance can be adopted.
Local maintenance and staffing actions included: authorizing up to $15,000 for repairs to an International dump truck for the Road Department; approving RBK Enterprises’ $3,818 estimate to fix cast-iron plumbing at the sheriff’s office; hiring Dennis Martin as a full-time Recycling Center employee at $13/hour (conditional on GED and drug screen); rehiring James Evans for the Road Department at $14/hour subject to a 90-day probation period; and approving the reappointments of Marsha Mudd and Dale Yates to local boards (one recorded nay by Esq. J. Moody on the reappointments vote).
The court also approved spending $8,200 from the Road Department fund to add approximately 150 feet of guardrail with end treatment at Brashears Creek following QK4’s recommendation; the firm said FEMA would likely not cover that overage. The Oct. financial statement was filed on record and the court approved all invoices, bills and transfers as presented.
What happens next: several items will move to procurement or administrative follow-up (repair orders, hires after conditions are met, and a second reading for the Washburn Lane ordinance). The court adjourned at 9:37 p.m.
