Pike County hires new deputy treasurer, approves $50-per-hour training and $1 million interfund transfer
Summary
Judge Jones introduced Chad Bowling as deputy treasurer; the court approved paying $50 per hour plus mileage to an experienced former treasurer for on-the-job training and authorized interfund transfers to cover insurance and workers' comp obligations.
Pike County Fiscal Court introduced and welcomed Chad Bowling as the new deputy treasurer after Frankie announced his resignation effective July 31. Bowling described an accounting background that includes a degree from Morehead State University and prior budgets and accounting work for local institutions.
Judge Jones moved to retain Kathy Dillo — a former county treasurer recommended by the state Department for Local Government — at $50 per hour plus mileage to train Bowling and help him master state and federal reporting requirements. The court discussed timeline flexibility and oversight; the motion passed on roll call.
Frank (the county treasurer) presented a treasurer’s business package that included an interfund transfer of $1,000,000 from the general fund to the solid waste fund to cover property/casualty insurance and workers’ compensation prepayment. Staff explained the county pays the premiums in July to capture a roughly 1% discount for prepaid insurance. The court authorized the treasurer’s business items, including the transfer, by roll call.
Bowling told the court he had worked in accounting for private and health-sector employers and said he would receive hands-on training from County staff and the retained consultant. Judge Jones emphasized the importance of training because the county handles multiple state and federal funding streams and annual audits.
