On personnel, the court voted to move EMS employee Taylor Nation from full-time to part-time at $14.48 per hour; it approved promotions for Jeremiah Montgomery and Melissa Butler to Advanced EMT status with $1.50 hourly increases; and it accepted retirements from Mark Thompson (last shift July 29, effective July 30) and Milath Lawson (effective immediately). The court approved hiring Roy Curtsinger for Public Works at $15.50 per hour, contingent on background and drug screening.
The county clerk’s office declared an older KM-4800-W plat printer (approximately 13–15 years old) surplus under KRS 67.0802 and 424.130(1)(b) and authorized public auction via GovDeals July 28–Aug.4, 2022. Lynn Hesselbrock presented the surplus notice and the related procurement information.
