Fiscal Court approves KIA draw #5 and records Top Flight wastewater purchase for Sanitation District project

Spencer County Fiscal Court acknowledged project invoices and approved Draw #5 for the Spencer County Sanitation District (KIA grant SX21215007, KIA grant #24KGS137) in the amount of $52,777.75 at the April 21 meeting.

The project administrator presented the reimbursement request and project budget summary showing KIA funding ($10,050,000) and local matching sources. The packet also records earlier post‑executive‑session approval to acquire the Top Flight Wastewater Treatment Plant based on recommendations from the Spencer County Sanitation District and two appraisals; that approval appears in the record of post‑executive‑session motions and was noted in the meeting minutes. The draw request lists prior expenses, current request amount, and the project budget line items; the court voted to approve the draw and acknowledged receipt of updated budget documents and vendor invoices entered in Exhibit B of the packet.

Why it matters: the KIA draw provides federal/state infrastructure funding flow for the Phase I sanitation project; approval is a required administrative step before reimbursement. The minutes also record large project budget line items (engineering, construction, contingency), and the county recorded invoices and contracting details for audit and KIA compliance.

Next steps: the county will forward supporting invoices and evidence of payment for reimbursement, continue work per the engineering schedule, and track subsequent draws and budget revisions as shown in the project packet.
