Simpson County Fiscal Court on Aug. 15, 2023, unanimously approved a slate of routine motions that included personnel appointments, budget transfers and payment of bills and claims.

Magistrates approved the minutes from the Aug. 1 regular meeting. The court adopted Resolution No. 2023-08-15-FSFR to hire Justin McMillin, Allan Mulkey and Richard (Sam) Hill as temporary firefighters from Aug. 15 through Dec. 31, 2023. The court also reappointed Gary Broady and Steve Compton to four-year terms on the Franklin-Simpson Industrial Authority through July 31, 2027.

The fiscal court authorized a $32,510 cash transfer from the General Fund to the Jail Fund and approved payment of a multi-page list of bills and claims as submitted. Magistrate Scott Poston moved and the court approved the July 31, 2023, financial statement, subject to audit, and authorized signatures of Treasurer Nicole Law and Judge/Executive Mason Bames.

The court authorized two items tied to emergency readiness and regional recovery: a no-cost contract with EUDS Consulting to provide post-disaster assessment services (the vendor's costs would be covered by FEMA funds in a presidentially declared disaster) and a $1,000 sponsorship to the Barren River Area Development District (BRADD) for a Regional Opioid Abatement Settlement Summit on Sept. 18, 2023. The court noted the BRADD region has a $6.7 million allocation for prevention, treatment and recovery and that opioid-abatement funds may cover the sponsorship.

All recorded motions were passed by unanimous voice vote. The meeting adjourned at 10:10 a.m.
