Taylorsville and Spencer County set joint meeting, plan closed session on real property

A joint special meeting of the Taylorsville City Commission and the Spencer County Fiscal Court was scheduled for June 2, 2023, at 5:30 p.m. at the City Hall Annex, and the agenda calls for the meeting to adjourn to an executive session under KRS 61.815 to discuss the future acquisition or sale of real property.

The agenda, posted as a notice of special meeting, lists an open meeting followed immediately by a closed-session item citing KRS 61.815 and states the reason for confidentiality: that publicity would likely affect the value of the property under discussion. The transcript contains no text of deliberations, no presentations, and no vote outcomes; it records only the agenda items.

Mayor Karen Spencer and Commissioners Diane Bowens, Diana Hilbert, Abbigail Nation and Kathy Spears are listed on the agenda as officials associated with the meeting but the transcript does not include any quotations or statements from them. The agenda names both the Taylorsville City Commission and the Spencer County Fiscal Court as participants in the joint session.

KRS 61.815 is cited on the agenda as the statutory authority for the executive session; the agenda does not provide additional statutory interpretation or limits. Because the agenda itself is the only text in the transcript, the record does not show whether the executive session occurred, what property or parcels were discussed, or any subsequent direction to staff.

The agenda also includes a budget amendment (Ordinance #435) on second reading and an adjournment item, but no details or formal actions are reported. The meeting notice indicates the topics to be taken up; any decisions or votes would need to be confirmed from minutes or a subsequent transcript.
