The court approved the minutes of June 3 and June 10 after a motion that was seconded and carried on a voice vote. The court then moved to claims and transfers dated June 17, 2025; the judge asked staff to verify one medical claim from the detention center because of uncertainty about the date of service and whether the state or county is responsible for payment. Officials said the outstanding claim was “just over a thousand dollars,” and the jail was still checking the date; the court approved the remaining claims and transfers and indicated it would hold or adjust payment on that single claim if further verification changed the amount or the funding responsibility.

The court appointed Bobby Callahan to the Grant County Road Department, effective June 23, 2025; the motion to appoint was made and seconded and approved by voice vote.

The court approved a surplus list (attachment A) from the Grand Canyon Detention Center. Officials said much of the list contains broken equipment slated for destruction (hard drives drilled out) or items to be sold at public auction. The county plans to schedule a consolidated public auction around August and invited local entities such as the City of Williamstown and Dry Ridge to participate to reduce advertising costs and attract larger crowds.

The court also approved payment for a House Bill 18 training incentive for Tanya Beagle and offered congratulations for completing the training.

Officials said they will follow up on the held jail medical claim and a final payment decision may be made after the clerk verifies the date of service and whether the state should reimburse the county for the expense.

The ordinance updates how the county charges for several permit types. Retaining walls taller than 4 feet will be charged under the commercial construction-fee schedule; signage fees will be calculated based on the cost of construction rather than square footage; and the fee for cell-tower antennas was corrected from $2,500 to $250.

County staff said the changes followed consultations with the county building inspector and the county’s assistant accounting attorney, Pete Whaley, and were intended to align fees with construction cost and to correct a numerical error for cell-tower permitting. The court conducted a voice vote on the ordinance during the meeting; the motion passed with all members present voting in favor.

The county did not provide an estimated revenue impact from the ordinance change during the meeting. Officials said the ordinance language was cleaned up as part of ongoing code maintenance and to reflect current inspection and permitting practices.

The announcement came during the court’s regular meeting when the judge executive reported that state engineers notified the county the bridge “passed all inspections” and that all weight restrictions were lifted. The judge also praised the county road department for completing an in-house emergency repair that restored traffic while longer-term work proceeds.

County officials said the bridge had been reopened to traffic before the formal weight-limit notification; the judge said the county had kept a 30-ton posting in place until receiving official word from the state. The judge credited bridge inspector Gary Cochran and the road department for completing the repairs and said the county’s in-house work likely saved the jurisdiction a substantial sum in replacement costs. \"They probably saved us $6,070,000,\" the judge said in the meeting record.

Officials said weather slowed some work because of rain delays but that the repair included a new bracket system designed to allow single-beam replacement if necessary in the future. The judge said engineers installed brackets so a damaged beam could be swapped without tearing out the whole structure.

The judge also described follow-up steps for other county bridge projects. He said the county contacted Compass (engineering firm) and spoke with engineer Mike Yeager to prepare a streamlined proposal to assist the county with hydraulic testing and other requests from the state. County staff, including Joe Gordon, participated in a conference call to coordinate next steps; the county expects some of the engineering fees to be reimbursable.

With the bridge reopened, road crews have switched to mowing and road-patching work in the affected area, officials said. The county did not provide an exact schedule for any additional inspections or the final report from the state engineers.

For now, the bridge remains open to traffic with no posted weight restrictions; officials said they will pursue engineering support as needed and expect reimbursements for allowable costs from state emergency funds.
