Carroll County Fiscal Court recorded several formal actions and routine approvals during its April 28 regular meeting, including first readings, property surplus declarations, a procurement authorization, a personnel decision following executive session and a budget transfer.
Minutes, budget transfers and invoice approvals: The court approved minutes from the April 14 meeting, authorized routine budget transfers and approved invoices by motion and voice vote.
Solar ordinance and animal shelter policy (first readings): The court held the first reading of an ordinance establishing licensing requirements for solar-energy installations in Carroll County and conducted the first reading of an animal shelter standard operating procedures policy. Both readings were moved and approved to proceed; staff noted that fee and wording changes provided by the deputy judge will be incorporated before second readings.
Surplus property: The court declared a 2012 International Workstar dump truck as surplus and approved listing it on GovDeals for public auction, with the court opting not to set a reserve given the truck's poor condition.
Salary resolution: The court adopted a resolution setting compensation for certain county positions effective Jan. 1, 2027, citing statutory requirement (KRS 64.530) and including CPI-based adjustment language. The resolution was adopted by motion and voice vote.
Personnel action after executive session: After moving into and out of an executive session with the sheriff and deputy judge present, the court authorized the county judge to terminate an at-will county employee; the action was approved by voice vote.
Budget transfer for jail funding: The court approved a transfer to cover minimum necessary jail funding for the fiscal year, with members noting the transfer is intended to be incremental and further transfers may be needed later.
Other items: The court acknowledged the absence of a scheduled presenter from the state park, heard department reports (parks, EMS/EMA) and received a report that a reimbursement check of about $78,000 from the attorney general's office is expected to cover two years of federal match for employee health insurance.
The court discussed but did not finalize further details on several items; staff was directed to return with final contract language or cost-sharing proposals where appropriate. Most motions were approved by voice vote; no roll-call tallies by member name were recorded in the provided transcript.
