Summary
At its July 12 meeting, the Fleming County Fiscal Court voted unanimously to seek an appraisal of a Wooley Road parcel to address drainage damage, approved a one-year enhanced 911 administration agreement (not to exceed $30,000 annually), confirmed an appointment to the regional housing authority and approved a series of finance, personnel and procurement items.
Fleming County Fiscal Court convened at 9:00 a.m. July 12 at the Fleming County Courthouse in Flemingsburg and moved through routine business and several administrative actions.
County Road Supervisor Anthony Vise told the court that drainage and runoff damage tied to 2020 T-rail/cribbing repairs at a location on Wooley Road would be more cost effective to resolve through purchase of the adjacent Caudill property than by on-site remediation. The Fiscal Court approved a motion to obtain an appraisal and/or survey of that parcel so the county can evaluate acquisition as a remedy.
County Judge/Executive Larry H. Foxworthy announced the appointment of Cole Clark to serve on the Buffalo Trace Regional Housing Authority, effective May 12, 2022 through Dec. 31, 2026; the appointment was approved unanimously.
The court also approved a one-year agreement with the Buffalo Trace Area Development District for enhanced 911 system administration and addressing maintenance, with a not-to-exceed annual amount of $30,000 and an automatic renewal clause unless one party gives written notice.
County Treasurer Kathy Dryden presented year-end, month-end and quarterly financial reports showing total all funds of $4,407,691.36, including an American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) balance of $2,255,932.67. The court approved the financial reports, budget transfers and cash transfers as presented.
Other approved items included a revised salary order for elected officials (effective Jan. 1, 2022), the FY2022–2023 Road Department pay scale (effective July 1, 2022), payment of a $300 registration fee for the Local Issues Conference, Claims and Carry-In Claims Reports, and a maintenance agreement with Applied Digital Solutions for the Dispatch Recording System for $3,128.50.
The court voted to retain Morgan and Associates to conduct the FY2021–2022 fiscal audit and approved June road maintenance reports totaling $168,479.60.
County Clerk Fritz presented the month-end report and informed the court that recent legislation requires the creation of a new Fiscal Court bank account to hold County Clerk storage fees; Fritz also said the delinquent tax sale is scheduled for Aug. 19, 2022.
Dispatch Director Charlotte Benton reported June service requests and announced that the dispatch office was awarded grant funding for a new computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system. The court approved hiring Anna Hamilton as a part-time telecommunicator at $12.00 per hour with a 12-month probationary period and approved surplusing outdated CAD equipment for disposal as junk.
The Fleming County Sheriff’s month-end and quarterly reports and the jailer’s June report were approved. The court approved allowing the Fleming County Attorney to retain $273.63 in 2021 Cold Check Account excess fees for office administration and was informed that EMT classes will begin in August at Fleming County EMS.
The court approved changing the August Fiscal Court meeting to Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2022 at 9:00 a.m., and adjourned at 9:56 a.m.
