Commissioners approve $25,000 for Redemption House roof replacement
Summary
Bourbon County commissioners voted to grant $25,000 from a county fund to replace the roof at Redemption House after a presentation showing about $51,000 unencumbered in the fund; commissioners asked for an invoice and said the organization should return if costs exceed the allocation.
The Bourbon County Commission voted to allocate $25,000 toward a roof replacement for Redemption House after a special appearance by a representative for the nonprofit.
At the meeting, the presenter said the fund contained about $67,000, with $15,242 encumbered, leaving roughly $51,000 available. The presentation listed the roof cost in the materials as “24.07” and commissioners treated the request as an approximately $24,000 need; the commission approved a motion to fund $25,000 to cover the work.
Commissioners asked the presenter to submit invoices for the work and said the nonprofit should return for additional funds if bids exceed the approved amount. The chair noted that if the project ran over the approved allocation the organization would need to come back to the commission for supplemental funding.
The motion to approve the $25,000 allocation carried by voice vote; no roll‑call tally was announced in the meeting minutes. The county clerk was asked to document the invoice and the accounting entry so the expenditure could be encumbered and tracked.
The commission’s approval comes amid other budget conversations at the meeting, and commissioners emphasized they wanted invoices and receipts to be provided before further disbursements were made.
