The Oldham County Fiscal Court held a special session on June 26, 2025, where key discussions focused on the tabling of a significant issue related to county road management. The court decided to postpone a decision until the next meeting, scheduled for July 17, 2025. Magistrate Lichens emphasized the need to adhere to legal guidelines during the process.

During the meeting, a former county engineer provided insights into the historical approach to integrating roads into the county system. He explained that the process was based on the linear footage of property frontage and required cooperation from property owners. He cautioned against the potential for "artificial enrichment," where property values could increase unfairly if the county paved roads that were previously unpaved.

Magistrate Tice echoed the importance of finding a legal and equitable solution to the road issue, indicating that discussions were ongoing to explore viable options. The meeting concluded with a call for public comments, but no further input was provided.

This session highlighted the complexities of road management in Oldham County and the court's commitment to ensuring that any decisions made are both fair and legally sound. The next meeting will be crucial in determining the path forward for the county's road system.
