Campbell County board approves renovation paperwork, then authorizes lawsuits over Middle School work
Summary
The Campbell County Board of Education approved BG-4 construction documents for Campbell County Middle School renovations and later voted to authorize litigation against contractors and a subcontractor over alleged losses tied to the project; motions passed unanimously.
The Campbell County Board of Education on Nov. 17 approved BG-4 forms for BG #22-294, the Campbell County Middle School renovation project, and later authorized lawsuits related to that work.
At the Alexandria Educational Center, the board approved the BG-4s for BG #22-294 on Motion 25-109 (moved by Tyler Owen, seconded by Kimber Fender); the motion passed with all members voting yes. The board then entered executive session under KRS 61.810(1)(c) to discuss proposed or pending litigation and later returned to the public meeting.
After exiting executive session, the board (Motion 25-119, moved by Kimber Fender, seconded by Tyler Owen) voted to "authorize and ratify the lawsuit filed in the Campbell County circuit court against EKM and RCG (dba Windows Glass) as well as their respective sureties, Farmington Casualty Company and Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Company" related to Campbell County Middle School renovations. The motion passed unanimously (Schultz-Yes; Fender-Yes; Griffin-Yes; Kuhel-Yes; Owen-Yes).
Separately, the board approved litigation against Delta Electric (Motion 25-120, moved by Tyler Owen, seconded by Tamara Kuhel) "for losses related to the fire alarm panel at Campbell County Middle School." That motion also passed unanimously. The minutes do not state the intended dollar amount of alleged losses or the specific legal claims to be filed; they record only the board's authorization to pursue litigation.
The actions follow the board's approval of construction paperwork for the CCMS renovation earlier in the meeting, and the minutes show the board used executive session procedures under Kentucky Revised Statutes to discuss the pending matters. The minutes note that the motions to authorize litigation were recorded as formal board actions and that the matters are or will be before the Campbell County Circuit Court. The meeting adjourned at 7:23 p.m.
