Garrard County judge seeks permission to apply for about $530,000 in discretionary blacktop funds
Summary
At a special April 22 meeting, Garrard County Judge/Executive Chris Elleman asked the Fiscal Court to allow submission of state paperwork to request approximately $530,000 in discretionary funds to blacktop 4.2 miles on Gillespie Pike and 1.66 miles on Buckeye Road; the court approved the request.
Garrard County Judge/Executive Chris Elleman asked the Fiscal Court on April 22 to allow him to submit state paperwork seeking approximately $530,000 in discretionary blacktop funds to pave 4.2 miles on Gillespie Pike and 1.66 miles on Buckeye Road. He told the court the county had no Flex allocations available because “we used a lot of the funding we had from last year.”
Magistrate Wayne Day moved to allow the submission; Magistrate Chris Butner seconded and the motion was approved with the court answering “All in favor.” The transcript records the request and the unanimous procedural approval but does not include a roll-call vote tally.
The request, if approved by the state, would fund repaving on two named road segments; Judge/Executive Elleman characterized the expenditure as coming from the county’s Discretionary Fund, estimated at about $530,000. The court did not debate alternate allocations at length during the item and took a single vote to permit submission of the application paperwork.
The court will await the state’s response to the application. The action recorded at the meeting authorized the county to proceed with paperwork only; it did not commit the county to a state award or to a final contract.
