Grant County Fiscal Court approves minutes, claims (with transfer removed), two reappointments and a zone change; moves to closed session
Summary
The fiscal court approved March 3 minutes, approved claims with a $50,000 jail transfer removed, reappointed two JLIDA board members retroactive to Jan. 1, 2026, approved a 5.9‑acre zone change for the Pendletons and moved into a closed session under KRS 61.810(1)(f) on personnel.
Grant County Fiscal Court on March 17, 2026 approved routine business including minutes, claims (with one transfer removed), two reappointments to the Grant County Joint Local Industrial Development Authority Board, and a zone change for a parcel associated with Troy and Tammy Pendleton. The court then voted to enter closed session to discuss personnel.
The court opened with a motion to approve the regular meeting minutes for March 3, 2026; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The court then considered claims dated March 17, 2026 across the general, road, jail and opiate settlement funds and asked that a $50,000 transfer to the jail be removed because contract‑jail checks had been received; the court approved the claims with that transfer excluded.
Magistrates reappointed Jim Simpson and Christy Wilby to the Grant County Joint Local Industrial Development Authority Board with terms retroactive to January 1, 2026 and expiring December 31, 2028. Motions for both reappointments were seconded and approved by voice votes.
On zoning, the court approved second reading of Ordinance 004‑2026‑296, which amends the county zoning map for a parcel described in the transcript as roughly 5.9 acres at 4520 (the transcript earlier said 4250 and then a correction to 4520) Kefir Road for Troy and Tammy Pendleton, changing the classification from Agriculture 1 to Residential Agriculture; the motion passed by voice vote.
Finally, with no members of the public addressing the court during the citizens address portion, Magistrate Riley moved and Magistrate Humphrey seconded a motion to enter closed session pursuant to KRS 61.810(1)(f) to discuss personnel matters; the court approved the motion and adjourned for executive session.
