Special Called Adair County Fiscal Court meeting - report By Tiffany Kessler Magistrate Terry Hadley Returns, New Sheriff Fleet on the Way, Jailer's Request Tabled District 7 Magistrate Terry Hadley received a heartwarming welcome back by Judge Gale Cowan and the entire court before the Thursday, February 28, 2019 special called fiscal court meeting began. Hadley had been absent since late January due to health issues. The agenda was short but some pressing topics were discussed. One of the more current items of interest has been the vehicle situation with the Adair County Sheriff's Department. Sheriff's Dept to receive needed vehicles During February's fiscal court meeting, Sheriff Josh Brockman and Judge Cowan brought up a financially helpful USDA grant that only required their signatures. The grant would help with the cost of two cruisers as long as the fiscal court agreed to contribute their part totaling $48,500 - it was approved. The special called meeting allowed Sheriff Brockman to request that $48,000 from the returned 2018 tax settlement funds (which totaled just over $53,700) be earmarked and used toward the grant. It was unanimously approved. Sheriff Brockman also requested two additional vehicles, which he says would take care of the current need for reliable transportation which has been one of his department's biggest issues. Sheriff Brockman explained that a loan from KACo (KY Association of Counties) to cover the expenses could easily be repaid if the fiscal court would agree that ABC funds be put toward the principle payment each year. Brockman said the four-year loan would be paid in full and would end when his term expires. The fiscal court approved the motion. Jailer's request tabled for this meeting Jailer Joey White was on the agenda with a request to hire four additional full time employees. White was met with questions concerning overtime and how full time shifts for employees alternate between 36 hours one week and 48 hours the next. Much like the February fiscal court meeting, Jailer White stressed that the jail remained over capacity and now sits as the second most overcrowded jail in the Commonwealth. During the conversation he focused on the issue of liability and safety for employees and inmates and how he feels his staff is underpaid when compared to other departments. Though it was a lengthy discussion, it ended with no final decisions on any of the matters at hand and was tabled. New 911 employees Jason Upchurch, Adair County 911 Director, respectfully asked the fiscal court to approve hiring two new part time dispatchers: Amber Snow and Monica Phillips. Both received a unanimous vote and will start out at $9.60 per hour. All magistrates were present with the exception of Daryl Flatt. Adair County magistrates include: Chris Reeder (District 4), Sammy Baker (3), Daryl Flatt (2), Harold Burton (1), Billy Coffey (5), Greg Caldwell (6), Terry Hadley (7). Meetings are open to the public and are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 6pmCT in the basement of the Adair Courthouse Annex. This story was posted on 2019-03-05 20:49:52
