Perry County fiscal court approves $168,887 draw request for Upper 2nd Creek sewer project, accepts opioid settlement participation

The Perry County Fiscal Court on the record approved a draw request totaling $168,887.44 for the Upper 2nd Creek Sanitary Sewer Phase 1 project and carried routine financial business, including approval of minutes, bill payments, invoices and interfund transfers.

The draw request was identified by the court as funded through a mix of state and federal programs; the transcript lists funding sources as a grama program, the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority (KIA), the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) and a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The meeting record shows the precise line-item amounts in the transcript were unclear; the court approved the draw request as presented.

The court also voted to accept and participate in a remnant-defendant settlement related to opioid litigation. Motions on the minutes and financial items were made and seconded in the meeting (the transcript records motions by Spencer and Church in various items), and the court carried the motions by voice vote.

A transcript notation at the meeting close indicates the votes were unanimous among the four members present. The meeting record did not list a roll-call vote with individual member votes recorded in the transcript excerpt. The transcript identifies the two members named during motions as Spencer and Church.

Chair (identified only by role in the transcript) praised the county’s work programs during discussion of community services and said the transfer station redesign is under review with plans to return it to service. No additional details about construction timelines or contractors were provided in the meeting record.

The court adjourned after completing the listed actions.
