Whitley County Fiscal Court approves emergency budget amendment, routine transfers and reports

The Whitley County Fiscal Court met July 15, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. and approved a slate of fiscal and administrative actions, including Ordinance 2025‑05 (Emergency Budget Amendment #1) and several routine transfers and claims. Judge/Executive Pat White called the meeting to order and the court adopted the agenda before proceeding to business.

Several financial motions were approved by unanimous votes recorded in the minutes. The court authorized cash transfers and appropriation transfers, approved payment of claims and pre‑paid claims, accepted the Treasurer’s Settlement for 2025, and accepted the KRS 424.220 report for fiscal year ending 2025. The minutes repeatedly note the outcome phrase, "ALL VOTED YEA!" for these items. The detention center annual report for July 2024–June 2025 was also approved. An add‑on resolution (Resolution 2025‑06) pertaining to an RDAAP project was added and approved near the end of the meeting.

Magistrates leading motions included Michael Jarboe, Scotty Harrison, Edmondo Cima and Raleigh Meadors; many motions list the mover and seconder in the minutes. The court also approved employee pay rates as presented. Where presenters or reports are listed in the minutes (for example, the Emergency Management Director and the jailer), the provided transcript excerpt does not include the text of those reports, only that the reports were presented and accepted.
