Additional material may be added. And we may have an update on the road work and the possibility of delaying the third mowing of the summer because "Johnson Grass is growing a foot a day." And a note on the sometimes maligned boom mower being down for the last two weeks. Otherwise, the report is pretty complete on just what unfolded at the Fiscal Court meeting. -EW By Ed Waggener The Adair County Fiscal Court received the word on the re-apportionment for the seven Adair County Magisterial Districts, necessary following the 2010 census. Neal Cundiff, planning advisor with Lake Cumberland Area Development District, presented the report, which calls for six districts to be be redrawn with only one, District One, meeting population requirements with population falling between a minimum of 2,511 and maximum of 2,775. Federal guidelines require that there be no more than a 10% variance in the populations of each district. Cundiff reported the following changes needed to bring the districts into compliance:
