The county clerk announced a KDLA grant that will pay for restoration of aging records.

During financial discussion the court reviewed recent transfers that had been made and agreed to further moves to cover public-safety and program needs. The court reported earlier transfers of $50,000 and $42,000 to jail accounts and $20,000 to dispatch; at the meeting the court approved additional transfers described in the record as at least $100,000 to the jail, $120,000 to ambulance services, $25,000 to dispatch and $11,453 to the county’s CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) senior citizens account. A motion to approve the transfers was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.

The court also approved incentive pay for three county employees — the judge’s office employee, a county clerk employee and the jailer — after confirmation they had completed required training. The court recorded the motion and voice vote approving payment of those incentive fees.

On the jail, court members discussed two feasibility-study proposals that had been placed in the meeting folder: one from a firm identified as Compass and a second from consultant Kelly White. Court members voted to proceed with both proposals so the county could compare findings; the record indicates the county will transfer funds from the general fund to pay for both studies with a combined cost of $14,000. The record shows Kelly White is expected to make at least one on-site visit as part of his proposal. A motion to hire both consultants and appropriate funding was made, seconded, and the court approved the action by voice vote.

The county’s jail report presented population and revenue figures: the jail reported 14 inmates incarcerated at the time of the report, a count of 44 county inmates and 70 state inmates in custody overall, and an average daily population of 64 inmates for December. The jail reported receiving $129,372.42 in housing revenue for the referenced period; it also received $8,470 from House Bill 556 funds for educational programming, $6,385.48 in jailer fee claims for inmate transports and $6,983.08 in third-quarter LCAF receipts.

On personnel and committees, the court accepted the resignation of Alan Franks from the ethics committee and appointed Will “Bill” Joe as the third member by motion and voice vote (recorded as Order 25-3 in the packet). The clerk also briefed the court that the clerk’s office received a KDLA (Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives) grant of $38,913 to fund book restoration; the clerk said KDLA staff already picked up records for restoration.

Other operational notes in the record included a scheduling update: emergency management director interviews will begin the following Monday and a driver’s-license pop-up that includes required vision screening will be held in the courthouse on a Tuesday beginning at 9 a.m., per a recent Kentucky law that requires vision screening for certain license transactions. The court discussed purchasing a dedicated laptop for meeting streaming but did not record a final procurement vote in the meeting minutes.

Court officials opened a public hearing on the removal of Powell And Road (CDR 1370). “Are there any public comments on removing this road to county maintenance? Hearing none, I'll entertain motion to adjourn this hearing,” the presiding judge said; the court adjourned the hearing by voice vote.

The court later took up roads business under a separate agenda item. County staff members Chad Hampton and Lillard Reggor presented a written report and recommended discontinuing the roadway. According to their report, “we find that this discontinuance ... would result in no inconvenience to the public and that the road should therefore be discontinued,” the staff reported to the court.

Following that recommendation, the court moved and approved the first reading of Ordinance 25-1, described in the packet as discontinuing “Pow Lake Road.” The court conducted a roll-call confirmation during the first reading; Paul Scarblane, Clark Turner, Clark Oliver, Clark Brookshire, Clark Bryant and the presiding judge each answered yes when called.

The court scheduled the ordinance for a second reading at the next stated business date described in the meeting as the “20 eighth,” at which point the court will consider final action or further comment.

The discontinuance items appeared in two distinct parts of the meeting record: an initial removal hearing with no public comment, and a later roads agenda item that contained the staff report recommending discontinuance and the court’s first-reading action. No members of the public spoke in favor of or against the removal during the hearing; the court did not receive other written public testimony on the record at the meeting.

If the court adopts Ordinance 25-1 on second reading, that action would remove the listed road from county maintenance per the court’s process; the meeting record does not include a subsequent final-adoption vote.

","Todd County fiscal court held a public hearing on removing Powell And Road (CDR 1370) from county maintenance with no public comment, then moved an ordinance (25-1) through first reading after staff recommended discontinuance, with a unanimous roll-call for first reading and a second reading scheduled.","actionData","errors"]
