Hardin County roundup: $50,383.53 reimbursement to jail, consent agenda and holiday schedule approved
Summary
At the Jan. 13 meeting the court heard that Baptist Health reimbursed the county detention center $50,383.53, approved several consent items including claims and personnel resolutions, and passed a 2026 holiday schedule. The amended consent agenda passed unanimously.
Hardin County Fiscal Court on Jan. 13, 2026, heard an update that Baptist Health reimbursed the Hardin County Detention Center $50,383.53 following an audit, with three additional reimbursement checks expected. Magistrates approved the amended consent agenda, which included claims and several resolutions related to transfers, farm animal removal, hay leases, EMS personnel and engineering personnel items.
The court also approved Resolution No. 2026-004 adopting the 2026 holiday schedule. County Attorney Jenny Oldham told the court the personnel policy did not have to be changed to reflect the holidays because the resolution itself sets which days will be observed. The court recorded a unanimous roll-call vote to adopt the holiday schedule.
The consent agenda was amended to remove one item at the request of Squire Kenny Saltsman before being approved; details of each consent resolution are recorded in the meeting packet and minutes. Magistrates made several community announcements, invited the public to county events such as the Radcliff mayor's breakfast, and offered condolences to Squire EG Thompson on the death of his brother, referenced in the transcript as Harlie Thompson.
The court adjourned without objection after closing business and recording attestation signatures.
