Spencer County Fiscal Court posts March 6 agenda including CASA support request and proposed jail budget

The Spencer County Fiscal Court is scheduled to meet on Monday, March 6, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. at 28 East Main Street. The published agenda lists routine committee reports, old-business items including courthouse and recycling roof quotes, and new-business items such as a request for support for Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children (CASA), vendor invoices and estimates, the Spencer County Clerk year-end report, a sheriff’s property-room vent, and the proposed FY 2023–24 jail budget.

The agenda identifies committee contacts and presenters by name where provided but does not record discussion or outcomes. For example, the Zoning, Readings & Recommendations listing names Julie Sweazy; Emergency Management lists Chris Limpp; multiple committee entries list an Esq. Pharris, Esq. J. Travis, and Esq. Cotton as point persons for various committee reports. Lynn Hesselbrock is named in the agenda items associated with Harp Enterprises and Bluegrass Integrated Communications and in the county clerk item. The agenda also references preliminary drawings under the Farmers Market Pavilion Committee and cites two packet files (3.06.23 FC Packet 001 and 3.06.23 FC Packet 002) for supporting documents.

Under Old Business the Court lists "Courthouse and Recycling Roof Quotes"; the agenda does not include dollar amounts, vendor names beyond the invoice/estimate items in New Business, or recommended actions, so any decisions or vote tallies are not specified on the agenda itself. New Business enumerates seven items but provides only titles and associated names; the agenda does not indicate motions, who will move or second them, or whether the items will be informational only or put to a vote.

The public comment period is included on the agenda with a three-minute limit per speaker and a note that the time is not for debate, discussion, or action. The agenda notes the County Judge Executive will call the meeting to order and that roll call will be performed by the Fiscal Court. Members of the public may view the meeting via Facebook as indicated in the agenda.

The agenda states that requests to place items on the agenda under New or Old business should be received by 10:00 a.m. the Thursday before a Monday meeting. The packet references at the end of the agenda are the primary supporting documents listed; details such as invoice amounts, budget figures, motions, and vote results are not specified in the agenda and would need to be obtained from the meeting minutes or the packet documents.
