By Ed Waggener The last Adair County Fiscal Court regular monthly meeting before the general election was a brief one, lasting only 19 sugary sweet minutes, with nary a harsh word, nary a controversy, nary a negative vote from any of the boys. The November general election is nigh. But Judge Vaughan did keep it interesting. An mystery item entitled "Permission to Sign Necessary Papers for School," the judge revealed part of the mystery. "We have to take action," he said, "to sign necessary papers concerning the transfer of property for the school system." The property transfers involved the sale of the three community schools, at Knifley, Shepherd, and Sparksville, in five transactions. Two of the transactions were the sale of small portions, of .31 acre at Shepherd and .54 at Sparksville, to the Adair County Water District (ACWD). The other three transactions involved the sale of the each of schools and approximately seven acres each. County Attorney Jennifer Hutchinson-Corbin explained that, prior to 1988, some financing for Adair County Schools required the county to own the property, rather than the school district. Since 1988, the school property, she said, is owned by the Adair County School District Finance Corp., Inc. The court is simply deeding the property back to its rightful owner, the Adair County School District, or more correctly, the district's Adair County School District Finance Corporation. The board voted 7-0 to give Judge Vaughan the authority to sign necessary papers for the transfer. Second readings given to three roads Second readings were given to taking these The latter three roads are named for past Lindsey Wilson College Presidents. roads into the county system. The roads were Steele Road, .97 mile, in District 2; and Austin Trace, Kennedy Circle, and Colin Way in the Cane Valley area of District 6. First reading given to roads in the Fourth District and in Seventh First readings were given to Morning Star Road off Richards Hollow Road in the Gradyville area of Magistrate J.M. Shelley's Fourth District, and, in Magistrate Terry Farris' Seventh District, to an extension of Summer Hill Drive, plus V.P. Henry Drive, A.P. White Drive, and Horton Drive, in the Horton Subdivision, which has been carved out of the old John Burns Horton farm on Green Hills Road. Another drive named for a past LWC President, L.R. MacDonald Drive, will come into the system later, Magistrate Terry Farris said. Slower driving on Pelham Branch Road and Kemp Road The magistrates voted 7-0 to reduce the speed on Pelham Branch Road in the Sixth District, on a motion by Sixth District Magistrate Joe Rogers. The new speed limit will be 45, ten miles an hour slower than the previous 45.Magistrate Billy Dean Coffey asked that the speed on Kemp Road in the Sixth District be reduced to 35 mph, and that was unanimously approved. Magistrate Shelley told "Watch for Children" signs are ok Magistrate J.M. Shelley said that he had received a couple of inquiries about the installation of "Children at Play" signs. Judge Vaughan turned to County Attorney Hutchinson-Corbin, asking her if a "Watch for Children," sign could be erected. "You could do that," she answered. She said that there is still concern for erecting "Children at Play," because some parents or child care persons might believe "Children at Play" signs mean that it is okay for children to play in the vicinity of the sign. No action was taken at the meeting. No action on snowplowSixth District Magistrate Joe Rogers asked if anything had developed on getting snowplows for county trucks before winter sets in, and was told by Judge Vaughan that he had received some communication on the matter, and would present it at the next meeting. "We have received some proposals," he said, "but they were left upstairs." November 14, 2006 monthly meeting will be in the morning Because many meetings at the Kentucky Association of Counties conference starting on November 15, 2006, will begin in the morning, Judge Vaughan suggested that the regular meeting scheduled for 7:00pm be moved up to a morning affair, so the county officials would not be all tuckered out from a late court meeting. Magistrate (2) Wid Harris moved that the magistrates hold their November 14, 2006 at 9:00am. The motion carried 7-0 on a roll call vote beginning with District 6 and ending with District 5. Sheriff's report unanimously approved in his absence Sheriff Steve Cheatham was not present for the meeting, but his report was approved unanimously. Judge Jerry Vaughn drew a chuckle after the vote, saying, "We'll miss our Sheriff's comments, but he wasn't here tonight." The Sheriff's reports at one time were occasionally lengthy, but in recent sessions he has been a model of succinctness. Jail report showed $72,995 total charges; two deputies hired Jailer William "Bug" Knight, reported that the Adair Regional Jail had total billings of $72,995 for the month of September 2006. The report was approved, unanimously, and the court approved Mr. Knight's request to hire to part-time deputy jailers: Donald Zwecki and Derek Murphy. Court approves facilitation of GOLD grant to Breeding Area VFD The court unanimously approved authority for Judge Jerry Vaughan to sign necessary papers for a $20,000 grant from the Governor's Office for Local Development (GOLD) to the Breeding Volunteer Fire Department. The grant will be used for debt reduction, Judge Vaughan said. Almost before he finishing explaining the vote, District 2 Magistrate J.M. Shelley, whose territory includes Breeding was rising from his seat with both arms outstretched to move that the resolution be accepted. On a second by District 6 Magistrate Joe Rodgers, the Court voted 7-0 to approve the authorization. In the Court Orders, the magistrates approved, 7-0, without hearing details in open court and without discussion, the following payments:
