Simpson County OKs up to $80,000 for Kenny Perry Bridge agreement
Summary
Simpson County Fiscal Court approved a Rural Secondary Program Agreement with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet authorizing up to $80,000 in county participation on the Kenny Perry Bridge project and directed Judge Executive Mason Barnes to sign required documents.
County Judge Executive Mason Barnes announced the Fiscal Court’s approval of a Rural Secondary Program Agreement with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for the Kenny Perry Bridge project, authorizing a county contribution of up to $80,000.
The court approved Resolution No. 2023-07-18KPBridge by voice vote (motion by Magistrate Jeffrey Burr; second by Magistrate Marty Chandler). Public Works Director Bobby Groves later told the court he will meet with the project engineers from Scott & Murphy to redesign approaches to avoid right-of-way constraints and to avoid relocating a water line, changes he said should reduce project costs.
The agreement will require Judge Executive Barnes to sign necessary documents to secure the county’s participation. The minutes did not include a construction schedule or a new total project estimate; those details were not specified in the record.
The court voted to proceed with the agreement at the July 18 meeting; the next procedural steps are county execution of the agreement and follow-up design meetings described by Public Works Director Bobby Groves.
