Votes at a glance: Warren County fiscal court approves ordinances, contracts and grants

Warren County Fiscal Court on May 28 approved multiple ordinances, contracts and grant-authority motions in a series of unanimous roll calls covering development, road maintenance, park improvements and intergovernmental cooperation.

Items approved included second and final reading of Order 2612 authorizing a lighting agreement with Warren Electric Cooperative for Cedar Point Phase 1 and Ordinance 2613 to add roads in the South Glen Gable subdivision to county maintenance. The court approved a five-year interlocal agreement among Allen, Barren, Butler, Edmonson, Hart, Logan, Metcalfe, Monroe, Simpson and Warren counties related to roles under section 107C and Kentucky Workforce Investment Board policy compliance.

Procurement approvals included contracts under state price or professional services for gym-floor buffing and coating, parking-lot sealing and restriping at multiple parks, engineering services for a Stone Crest subdivision flood mitigation project ($75,000 to Commonwealth Engineers), a three-year $39,688-per-year contract to Five Iron Cyber for endpoint detection and response, and several smaller road and facilities contracts. The court also authorized submission of a 2027 waste-tire grant application to the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection and declared surplus property (a school bus for emergency management).

Each item was put forward by a magistrate, heard without extended debate, and approved on recorded roll calls in which Esquire Lawrence, Esquire Lazley, Esquire Cummings, Esquire Williams and Esquire McQuarter were recorded as voting yes. Several items included staff clarifications about project limits and procurement method (for example, staff clarified Smallhouse Road striping limits run from Three Springs to the roundabout at Lrod and that the roadway is split between city and county responsibility).
