Adair Fiscal Court 13 Jan 2014 regular meeting report In last nights, Tue 13 Jan 2014 meeting of Adair Fiscal Court:
Click on headline for complete report with photo(s) By Ed Waggener The New Year kicked off with several optimistic notes coming from Fiscal Court, including the awarding of the bid for the Senior Citizens Center and heartening news of changes from the Green River Animal Shelter, in a fast-paced meeting mostly dealing with usual first of the year changes expected each January. Senior Citizens Center renovation low bid approved A project which started seven years ago is finally reaching completion. Following a presentation of Lake Cumberland Area Development's Judy Keltner, the court voted, on her recommendation and the recommendation of CJE Mike Stephens, to award the low bidder, VanHook & Associates, Somerset, KY, the contract for the work at the Senior Citizens Center, located in Jim Blair Park, 801 Hudson Street, Columbia, KY. VanHook's Base Bid was $421,000. Alternate additiions for a $24,800 accoustical tile, and replacement of the metal roof, at a cost of $49,700, brought the project to a total of $495,500, under architect firm Brandstetter Carroll, Inc's estimate of $509,000. The project was started under CJE Ann Melton in 2007, and Keltner noted that one of the Magistrates involved, Terry Hadley (7) had been worked on the project and was around, again to see it finished. While the project is underway, Judge Stephens noted, the Parks & Recreation Board will be foregoing an estimated $6,000 in annual rents for the space being given over to the Senior Citizens. With no kitchen facilities, Magistrate Billy Dean Coffey (5) who also sits on the Parks & Rec Board said, there's really no meeting room to rent out. CJE Mike Stephens said that the facility is very expandable, and that, in the future facilities to make the gymnasium amenable as a venue for meetings and reunions may again be an option. VanHook's base bid, $421,000 and its total bid were well below totals of two other bidders, McNutt Construction and Scott, Murphy, and Daniel. The vote was 8-0 on a roll call vote, on a motion by Magistrate Terry Hadley (7), and a second by Magistrate Sammy Baker, with Magistrates Harold Burton (1), Daryl Flatt (2), Perry Reeder (4), Billy Dean Coffey (5), and Greg Caldwell (6), and CJE Mike Stephens joining to affirm. Encouraging news for changes at the Green River Animal Shelter Sandy Ford, Director of the embattled Green River Animal Shelter, gave a report which offered hope for positive changes at the shelter. Ford reasons for trips to Lexington for very, very low priced animal food, seemingly to the satisfaction of the court, and told of cooperative work with Sugarfoot Farm Rescue coming in February, with an open house planned for Sunday, February 22, 2015 on World Spay Day. The court agreed to cut adoption rates to $50 during February, to try to find a sweet spot to get more adoptions, lower longer term housing and care for the dogs, and get a better adoption to euthanization ratio. Ford addressed a "retail" problem at the shelter, that of bad odors entering the show room. She said that work was scheduled for as early as Wed 14 Jan 2015 to alleviate that problem. Ford also requested moving assistant Pam to a full time position, following the resignation of Amanda Chadwell, a partime worker. That was approved, but the court table Director Ford's request for an additional part-time worker. The court also voted to terminate its' contract with Casey County for the time being, though a contract with Green County will continue. Judge Stephens said he is hopeful that sewer problems can be eliminated with help from the Columbia/Adair County Utilities District. He said that a number of grants are in the works which could be game changers. Citizen Patrick Willis addresses the court Citizen Patrick Willis asked questions addressed to Judge Stephens. He asked about the appointment of Terry Corbin as Road Foreman, and the status of former Road Foreman Jobe Darnell, who held the position up until 4 Jan 2016. Judge Stephens said that the position was a perogatative of the CJE, and that Darnell had not been reappointed. Willis asked about possible conflicts of interest with Corbin's recent employment with the largest vendor for the Road Department, Gaddie-Shamrock. Judge Stephens said that all the work Gaddie-Shamrock does is on a bid basis, and could not be considered a conflict. The exchange was conducted in a very civil manner. Sheriff Harrison Moss' report approved Sheriff Harrison Moss' report included his activity report as previously reported in CM: The Adair County Sheriff's Department , 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY, has issued the ACSO activity report for December 2014:
