Perry County fiscal court approves resolutions, contracts and grants including LGEDF application and 911 upgrade requests
Summary
The fiscal court approved numerous routine and disaster-related actions: resolution 2026-004 (LGEDF application for $470,087.35), multiple NRCS/DEMOLITION contract awards and a $19,079.80 draw request for the Upper Second Creek sewer phase 1 project; the court also approved first reading of a $250,000 flood study grant amendment and two 911 grant applications.
Perry County fiscal court voted on a slate of routine and disaster-recovery items during its meeting, approving resolutions, contract awards and grant applications by voice vote.
Key approvals included: • Resolution 2026-004: application to the Local Government Economic Development Fund (LGEDF) for bond payment no. 3 in the amount of $470,087.35 to support buildings in the industrial park (approved by voice vote).
• Draw request: Upper Second Creek sewer Phase 1 — $19,079.80. Funding sources cited included the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority (KIA) line 22CWS087, Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) funds and a Community Development Block Grant; officials emphasized exact-cent accounting for grant funds (approved).
• NRCS demolition and clearance contracts: a series of awards were approved for EWP/NRCS projects (Razorback Trucking, W.R. Miller & Sons and others) with itemized amounts for specific sites; officials noted that these are reimbursable federal projects and bids followed procurement rules (approved).
• Budget amendment (first reading): a $250,000 amendment for the Eastern Kentucky General Investigation (flood study) grant with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was approved for first reading; county attorneys and staff noted the grant imposes no general-fund local cost.
• 911 grant resolutions (2026-005 and 2026-006): the court authorized submission of a phone-system refresh grant to enable text/video 911 reception and a separate grant for next-generation dispatcher console upgrades; staff said the phone system had not been updated since 2015 (approved).
Most items passed on voice votes with “aye” recorded; the meeting transcript lists movers and seconders for each motion but did not present individual roll-call tallies in the record.
Officials said the awards for disaster-related contracts are reimbursable and that the county typically up-fronts costs, submits receipts and later requests reimbursement from federal/state partners.
