Spencer County holds special County Road Aid meeting; no substantive public comment
Summary
Spencer County opened a special-called County Road Aid meeting to satisfy KRS 174.100’s requirement for public input on the use of state-derived tax revenues for roads and bridges. Officials explained the statute, invited comment, received no substantive proposals, and voted to adjourn.
Spencer County held a special-called County Road Aid meeting at 8:45 where officials explained that KRS 174.100 requires a public opportunity to comment before spending state-derived tax revenues on county roads, bridges or municipal highways.
The chair opened the meeting, the clerk called the roll and confirmed a quorum, and the chair read the statutory requirement, saying the comment period was included on the agenda "to allow any person to speak" about proposed road projects. The chair then invited members of the public to offer opinions on using taxpayer money for county roads.
Two audience members were asked if they wished to comment. One resident said, "I like them," but no one offered a substantive proposal, objection, prioritized project, or additional details about a road or bridge expenditure. The chair said he was "hearing no comment" and closed the public-hearing portion of the meeting.
The chair then called for a motion to adjourn. A motion "by Garrett" and a second "by Dan" were recorded; those in favor voiced "I" and the chair declared the motion passed. The transcript does not record individual roll-call votes or a numerical tally.
The meeting concluded after the voice vote. No formal decisions on specific road projects, allocations, or timelines were taken during the special-called session; the meeting served to satisfy the statutory public-notice and comment requirement under KRS 174.100.
