Spencer County fiscal court appoints Karen Clark as acting treasurer after executive session
Summary
After an executive session, the Spencer County Fiscal Court voted unanimously to appoint Karen Clark as acting treasurer under KRS 68.010, citing an anticipated 30-day or longer illness-related absence by the county treasurer.
The Spencer County Fiscal Court on Feb. 17, 2025, unanimously appointed Karen Clark as acting county treasurer after returning from an executive session.
County Judge Executive Scott Travis moved to appoint Clark under KRS 68.010, citing the county treasurer's inability to perform duties because of illness; the motion was seconded by Esq. Travis and carried by unanimous voice vote. The formal motion records that the appointment is temporary "until the County Treasurer is able to perform his duties," which the court anticipated would last 30 days or more.
The court had gone into executive session earlier in the meeting under KRS 61.810(f) at 9:19 p.m.; the post-executive-session minutes record a motion that "no decisions were made" during that session, and then separately record the motion appointing Clark.
The appointment was recorded in the post-executive-session minutes, which were attested by Scott Travis and by Corey M. Thomas, who acted as clerk for the post-executive-session proceedings. After the appointment the court voted to adjourn.
The action places Clark in the treasurer role pending the county treasurer's recovery; the minutes did not specify the incumbent treasurer's name or the date on which the treasurer's absence began.
