Fiscal Court approves standing order to pre‑approve payroll, utilities and ACH payments
Summary
Under KRS 68.275(3) the Spencer County Fiscal Court adopted an annual standing order to pre‑approve recurring payroll, utility bills and specified contracts (zoning attorney, EMS physician, county attorney rent, cleaning services, engineering), to remain effective until July 1 of each fiscal year.
At the June 22 meeting the court adopted an annual standing order to pre‑approve payment of recurring payroll, utility and county‑owned payment items, consistent with KRS 68.275(3). The standing order authorizes payment by check or ACH for recurring expenses when due and lists specific contracts the court pre‑approves, including a $650/month zoning attorney contract, a $1,596/month EMS physician contract and other recurring obligations.
Magistrate Dan Pharris moved to approve the standing orders; the motion was seconded by Magistrate Zack Cotton and passed by voice vote with the recorded absence. The order states that the listed standing approvals expire after July 1 of each fiscal year and that no additional payments may be pre‑approved under the order without written consent of the State Local Finance Officer.
The standing order references KRS 68.275(3) as the statutory authority for pre‑approving monthly payroll and utility expenses and places responsibility on the fiscal court to re‑adopt the order annually if needed.
