Spencer County Fiscal Court convened a special public meeting on June 1, 2026, to fulfill the public-hearing requirement of KRS 174.100 before expenditure of state-derived tax revenues on roads and bridges. Judge Executive Scott Travis called the meeting to order at 8:49 a.m.; the minutes record that there were no comments from citizens during the public-comment period.
The meeting record reproduces the text of KRS 174.100, which requires that a unit of local government provide an opportunity for public input prior to expending state-derived road funds. The minutes note the statutory provision that a single meeting covering the county's road-and-bridge program meets the statute's requirements when notice is given as required under KRS 61.823(2)–(4).
After the public-comment period, Esq. Cotton moved to adjourn and Esq. Pharris seconded. "It is hereby ordered to adjourn this meeting at 8:52 a.m.," the minutes state, adding that all members of the Court present voted "aye" by voice vote and the meeting was adjourned. No projects, dollar amounts, or spending decisions are recorded in the minutes; the session was limited to holding the statutorily required hearing.
The minutes are attested by Spencer County Judge Executive Scott Travis and Spencer County Clerk Lynn Hesselbrock. The printed record shows it was printed on 7/8/2026 at 12:44 PM and was printed by a user identified as LAURA.
