Fiscal Court second June meeting - Report By Tiffany Kessler In the final June Fiscal Court Meeting: - Sunday alcohol sales in the county finalized - New Fiscal Year Budget - Fire Dept Ordinance - Jim Blair Center Although passing Sunday alcohol sales within the county was the big issue on the agenda – there were additional items of importance discussed during the Tuesday afternoon meeting. Budget for 2019-20 Fiscal Year The county’s total budget for the upcoming fiscal year rounds out at just over $6.7 million. Brought before the court for its second reading, the budget was approved unanimously and included the following breakdown of funds: • General Fund - $1.6 • Road Fund – $2.3 • Jail - $1.8 • LGEA - $168,467 • Forest Fire - $2,250 • Parks & Rec - $61,850 • ABC Commission - $45,425 • 911 - $388,750 • GRAS - $120,325 Fire Dues added to Tax Bills for Breeding & Knifley; Opt out Available The fiscal court voted unanimously on a second reading to an ordinance that would allow the Knifley and Breeding Volunteer Fire Departments to add fire dues to property tax bills for residents within their response area. Judge Executive Gale Cowan has made it clear since the issue was first brought up that this was not a tax. With court members all in favor, the annual fees are $25 per deed with a maximum fee of $75. However, citizens will have the ability to opt out of paying the fee. According to the ordinance, property owners should obtain a opt out form from the Adair County Judge Executive’s Office between July 1st and April 15th -annually. The fee for a non-membership fire run to a residence is $500. The dues will be added to the 2019 tax bill. Jim Blair Center Revisited With recent discussions between the city and county concerning the Jim Blair Center coming to a halt, Judge Executive Gale Cowan revisited the situation during “other business”. Magistrates, as well as Judge Cowan, went over several matters involving the situation. Eventually, Magistrate Daryl Flatt made a motion to amend the current nine-member board that the Jim Blair Center has to a three-member board. It was seconded by Magistrate Chris Reeder and all were in favor except for one no vote by Magistrate Greg Caldwell who had helped represent the county during meetings with the mayor and city council members. “Everybody on this court wants something for the kids to do,” said Flatt. “It’s talked about year after year and I think now is the time to really look at it.” Judge Cowan ended the topic by stating, “I think we can all work together. I can’t speak for past administrations in city or county but I think we can all work together to do something good for our community.” New 911 Employees Brought before the court were three new part time employees for the Adair County 911 Center. All were unanimously approved at a salary of $9.60 per hour. Included were: Robin Standish, Emily Spears, and Taylor Grant. Reading of Roads Only two roads were on the agenda, each required a first reading. Both fell in Magistrate Greg Caldwell’s district: • Bohannon Rd. – Delete from county maintenance • Cally Lane – Name as a private passageway All magistrates were present for the meeting and include: Chris Reeder (District 4), Sammy Baker (3), Daryl Flatt (2), Harold Burton (1), Billy Coffey (5), Greg Caldwell (6), and Terry Hadley (7). Meetings are open to the public and are held on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month in the basement of the Adair Courthouse Annex. This story was posted on 2019-06-28 06:36:42
