Spencer County Fiscal Court approves series of budget, personnel and road actions; LARP paving grant accepted
Summary
At its July meeting the Spencer County Fiscal Court approved multiple routine and substantive actions — including minutes, a copier lease, cloud hosting pricing, a $476,800 LARP road paving resolution, personnel hires and funding draws — and voted to raise paramedic pay.
The Spencer County Fiscal Court approved a slate of motions at its regular July meeting, clearing administrative minutes and a variety of procurement, personnel and infrastructure items.
Among the items approved, the court: adopted corrections to recent minutes; approved a 48‑month color copier lease at $94 per month; corrected and approved PhysiSoft cloud‑hosting pricing up to $7,200; authorized a sanitation‑district engineering draw for $22,000; and approved up to $5,700 to purchase a trailer to store emergency equipment.
The court also approved a resolution and agreement with the Commonwealth of Kentucky under the Local Assistance Road Program (LARP) to accept $476,800 for blacktopping several county roads. Chair said the county must submit the signed resolution to receive the funds and that no paving work will begin until state approval is returned.
Personnel and compensation actions included an advancement for Connor Brumleaf (new pay $20.62) and a motion to hire Matthew James as a full‑time animal control officer at $18 per hour, pending hiring requirements; both were approved. The court also voted to pay invoices, bills and transfers as presented.
Several routine approvals were recorded by voice vote and without roll‑call tallies in the transcript. The meeting moved into executive session at the end of the agenda under KRS provisions for litigation and personnel matters.
The court’s actions will be reflected in minutes and, where required, the county will follow up with state agencies or publish formal ordinances and contracts for public record.
