Second reading: Ephraim McDowell bond
The court voted to approve the second reading of an Ephraim McDowell bond issue. Mark Franklin and other hospital representatives were present; the court recorded a motion for second reading and approved the issuance.

Budget and standing orders
Treasurer Shannon presented a draft county budget the court said totals about $63,000,001.54 and described it as balanced. The court approved the budget’s first reading and directed it to the state Department for Local Government for review. Separately the court approved annual standing orders — preapproved routine payments such as utility bills, insurance and debt service — to allow electronic payment for those items.

Grants and recycling programs
Recycling director Angie Munsey reported multiple successful grant awards. The court approved a recycling grant of $574,571 to expand the county sorting line and purchase a plastic/foam densifier; a composting grant of $245,107 to support an air‑burner pilot; a household hazardous waste grant of $41,000; and an annual waste‑tire grant of $4,000. County staff said the combined in‑kind value of the awarded grants exceeds $1,080,000. The court approved each grant by motion.

Bids and construction
The court awarded an electrical contract for the Craig Cain building to Wiley Electrical Contracting and approved a design‑build contract for Public Works construction at the Fred Cain site to RCL Design‑Build (RCL). County staff warned both contractors that state plan review and permitting could delay work because a portion of the project requires sprinkler upgrades and a formal plan review in Frankfort.

Road deed and roadway adoption
The city transferred a parcel of Old Sanford/Stanford Road to the county. The court approved acceptance of the deed and adopted Resolution 25.050.27 to incorporate County Road 11409 (Old Stanford Road) — approximately 2,008 feet — into the county road system for maintenance.

Other business
The court approved reappointments to the Danville‑Boyle CVB/CVVC board (Lisa Bottom and John Bowen) and accepted routine cash and budget transfers reported at the start of the meeting. All motions were approved on voice votes during the meeting as recorded by the clerk.

What the vote tally shows
Most items were approved by voice vote; the meeting transcript records unanimous \"aye\" responses for motions as presented and does not include roll‑call tallies.

Next steps
Several approvals noted that further administrative steps remain — the budget will return to the court after state DLG review, contractors were advised they may buy materials at current prices but permits could delay starting work pending plan review, and the NewGround homelessness project (presented separately) will appear before the planning commission for rezoning action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Boyle County Fiscal Court Regular Meeting - May 27, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Boyle County Fiscal Court approved a slate of budget, procurement and grant actions at its May 27 meeting, including the first reading of the county budget, multiple environmental and recycling grants, awards of electrical and design‑build construction contracts, and adoption of a county roadway deed transferred from the city.","taxTitle","Boyle County , Kentucky","taxId",53939,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6545674,"Boyle County homeless coalition outlines 'NewGround' long‑term temporary housing plan for South Bloom Street site",1356,722000,2078000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3516119-52c8ed7a2b91def90d88d4e06f655d6d&start=722&end=2078","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3516119-52c8ed7a2b91def90d88d4e06f655d6d/thumbnail_722000.jpg","/articles/6545674/Boyle-County/Kentucky/Boyle-County-homeless-coalition-outlines-NewGround-longterm-temporary-housing-plan-for-South-Bloom-Street-site","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545674-719bfb7f3d019b1b527352ebdb7d25b0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771214958&Signature=Z-76g3t74Iu-U~k0yGVjB7FtZZ8zddYIR2ylaB3j4qmS-fEH1VwsWhS1CYaNwvU0IGWwbioggDfcr1FzUYZ726dAVVqpwQqvdODFVWH~ItZBW~iqxtv78kwTTtuWU2~XEjysKjnC-i8yyUHJW-xA7N24nGwj5M-xTUfWL9udD~l8jw4mMgyPneVdZmWbmqEC2MrfqKnSvKMLVi6rnBnBi62h8fNSIiyJUaek1w4F0~LPD0gbxamezYNSwBCD4AN3L~7zyeZ91XLaVMAYiucgjRnx1-Ja0ENFWtn9uobxYCwDIVd31cdIpVXfSHuM395g8ZvlLBA0yDbuMaQMRVOxeg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Boyle County Homeless Coalition and Family Services Association on Tuesday described NewGround, a proposed supportive‑housing project they say would offer long‑term temporary housing and wraparound case management for people and small families experiencing homelessness.

Coalition leaders told the Boyle County Fiscal Court the project would be located on Family Services Association property at 447 South Bloom Street and that the group will seek a rezoning of the parcel from R‑2 to Central Business (CB) to align with the county’s future land‑use map and reduce transportation barriers to services.

“NewGround provides a supportive residential community,” Michelle Marble of Family Services Association said. “Its mission is to offer a secure and stable living environment for individuals and small families experiencing homelessness as they actively are pursuing self sustainability.”

The coalition outlined a three‑phase concept that would start with units for single parents with children, then add one‑bedroom units for individuals, and later expand after officials assess demand. Organizers showed a sketch of 20‑by‑20 modular units intended for Phase 1; they said the model emphasizes communal living, mandatory participation in services and a time‑limited stay intended to help residents move to permanent housing.

“Part of that rent would then be held for them so that when they are ready to graduate out of NewGround, they would have either deposit or down payment so they can have their own housing facility,” Marble said. Coalition materials provided to the court said stays could last up to two years in some cases while residents complete education, training or stabilize employment.

Coalition members said NewGround is not a drop‑in shelter: their draft program handbook calls it a commitment with a selection process prioritizing people actively seeking self‑sufficiency. The coalition also said it has submitted grant applications, gathered letters of support and will fundraising as a 501(c)(3).

Magistrates and staff pressed the presenters on capacity, utilities and zoning. “One acre is basically a hundred by 400. That’s very small. What’s your anticipated total count of units?” Magistrate Tom Ellis asked. Coalition members replied they initially expect three to four units per phase, with phase 1 focused on single parents and children, and that a city engineer had reviewed utilities for the site.

County staff and the group told the court NewGround intends to present to the Danville/Boyle County Planning & Zoning Commission at a meeting scheduled for June 10; presenters asked the court and public to attend. Julie Wagner, county staff, confirmed the planning commission meeting time and said the city will handle final zoning recommendations.

Court members praised the coalition’s organizing work and emphasized case management and partnerships with churches and existing providers. No formal court action was taken Tuesday; the presentation was listed as informational and the coalition will pursue zoning and permitting through the official planning process.

Organizers asked neighbors and community groups to review the draft handbook and attend the June 10 planning and zoning hearing; they also invited court members to follow up in smaller working meetings to address questions about site layout, utilities and the program’s operational rules.","The Boyle County Homeless Coalition and Family Services Association presented NewGround, a multi‑phase, supportive residential program proposed for 447 S.

County staff said the animal control committee and staff member Rachel Beckman drafted the protocols and that the handbook language splits dog and cat intake, prioritizes sick or injured animals, and requires altered cats not be released back into colonies unless they are altered and ear‑tipped.

“Out of females cost more than males so you’ve got to average that out,” a county official said when explaining the spay/neuter cost model. The county included $10,000 in the draft budget for spay/neuter support to be used for community cats when rescue partners will not cover the procedure.

The new protocol lists four outcomes for cats the county accepts: transfer to the Humane Society (first right of refusal), placement with a rescue (with rescue covering alteration if possible), return to a caretaker colony only if ear‑tipped and altered, or placement in a barn‑cat program. Staff said they have already identified several barns willing to accept “barn cats” and plan publicity to expand that option.

County administrators warned the court that the existing county ordinance lists “all animals running at large” (excluding community cats) and that the language could be interpreted to allow citations for pet owners whose animals are allowed outdoors. Staff recommended returning the ordinance to the animal control committee for review and modifications to resolve the conflict between household cats and community‑cat management.

The court approved the intake protocols by motion and asked staff to forward recommended ordinance changes to the animal control committee for review. The county plans outreach describing the new intake protocol, barn‑cat program and spay/neuter resources for caretakers and rescue partners.","Boyle County adopted a new set of protocols for cat intake, quarantine, spay/neuter funding and a barn‑cat placement program.

The court awarded the design‑build contract for Public Works construction to RCL Design‑Build after a competitive bid process; RCL’s proposal included noncombustible interior materials and a concrete slab and awning at the front of the building that the county requested. The court also approved Wiley Electrical Contracting as the electrical contractor for the Craig Cain building.

County staff and building inspectors told the court the projects are subject to state review because of the size and mixed use of the existing buildings. Rusty Cox, Boyle County building inspector, and Mark Gore, facility supervisor, explained that the state’s plan review office has required sprinkler system extensions where occupancy and mixed‑use changes occur; the county estimated a sprinkler extension could cost in the neighborhood of $150,000.

“Our local inspector was amenable to a field project, but his supervisor required submission to plan review in Frankfort,” a county official said. County staff said the formal plan review process in Frankfort can take up to 90 days for review and approval, meaning procurement and start dates could be delayed even after contracts are awarded.

The court authorized both contractors to purchase materials at current prices to limit exposure to rising supply costs, but staff cautioned that actual construction cannot proceed until the necessary state approvals are received for modifications that trigger review. The county reported it has engaged an architect and a sprinkler designer to prepare plans for submission to the state; officials said the plan review and permit step will be a critical path item for schedule planning.

The court’s action approved the contracts while documenting the permitting risk and directing staff to pursue plan submittal and possible legislative contacts to expedite review if needed. No additional county appropriation for sprinkler work was approved at the meeting; staff said cost estimates and funding options will come back to the court when final plan and cost documents are available.","The fiscal court awarded RCL Design‑Build the Public Works renovation contract and approved an electrical contract for the Craig Cain building, but staff warned that state plan review — including extending sprinkler systems — could require up to 90 days and about $150,000 for sprinkler work, potentially delaying construction.","actionData","errors"]
