Adair County Fiscal Court meeting 14 Apr 2015 report In last night's Adair Fiscal Court Meeting:
Click on headline for complete story with photos By Ed Waggener At it's regular April 14, 2015 meeting Adair County Fiscal Court made several major decisions, but tabled one which occupied the magistrates for the longest segment: A request by the Breeding and Knifley Fire Departments to have fire dues billed with county tax bills. Knifley Fire Chief C.R. Drake presented the proposal, with Breeding Fire Chief following and fielding questions. Drake emphasized the bills would be a "fees" and not "taxes." The court did vote to have County Attorney Jennifer Hutchison Corbin draft an ordinance for consideration at the next meeting. County to discontinue maintaining own fuel pumps After Judge Stephens presented the court with an option to continue operation of its own fueling station, located near Green River Animal Shelter, or contracting with local fuel dealer Lynn's Service Center and getting fueling cards honored by SPI (Somerset Petroleum, Inc) , whose self service pumps are available 24 hours a day, the court unanimously voted to set up the account at Lynn's and also buy from SPI. Judge Stephens said that the agreement had served the county well in the beginning, when prices were high, but said that the county was obligated to pay a "spot price," on the day of delivery which has often meant the county paid a higher price buying in bulk than it would have at local dealers. The vote was unanimous, on a motion by Daryl Flatt (2), with a second by Terry Hadley(7). Road Department purchases truck from Jamestown Auto Sales Fiscal Court approved the purchase of a white 2015 RAM 4 x 4 truck for the Adair County Road Department. The truck has 5,608 miles, and a 5.7 Hemi engine for $18,500.00. The truck was offered by Jamestown Auto Sales, 1061 W Cumberland Avenue, Jamestown, KY at last night's meeting. The truck has a rebuilt title, and carries a dealer warranty of 90 days, bumper to bumper. The dealer will install running boards and agreed to check front end alignment. All safety features are to be checked by a Chrysler dealership. Jamestown Auto Sales, wrote that the customer - Adair Fiscal Court - is in no way obligated to purchase the vehicle if not 100% satisfied. Adair County Jailer Joey White reports Adair County Regional Jailer Joey White reported gross revenues for March of $88,905.48. After deductions of $29,459.60 for Adair County inmates, the facility had net billings of $59,445.88. With booking fees, medical fees, other income, per diem, home incarceration fees, and fees for Cumberland County inmates, the total to collect for the month was $70,352.49. Many personnel changes during court meeting The court made many personnel changes. Most notably was the the promotion of Deputy Emergency Disaster Manager Mike Keltner to a permanent status as EMD, succeeding Greg Thomas, the 23 year veteran director, who resigned effective Monday evening April 23, 2015. Keltner will be part-time, at a salary of $11.00 an hour. All magistrates vote in favor on a voice vote, for the recommendation by County Judge Executive Mike Stephens. Thomas will now devote all his time to the Adair 911 Center, supervising the dispatchers. He will be full time at $11.41 per hour. The vote was 6-1, on a roll call vote called for by Judge Stephens with Magistrates Harold Burton, Sammy Baker, Perry Reeder, Billy Dean Coffey, Greg Caldwell, and Terry Hadley voting yes, and Magistrate Daryl Flatt voting no. The court approved hiring Tracy Holmes at Adair 9-1-1, on a part-time basis at $8.75 per hour. The court approved the hiring of Gary Hinebaugh as Recycling Director at $8.75 per hour. The court approved the hiring of Sheila Keltner for the Judge's office, part time at $8.75 per hour and Rachel Phipps, for the CJE's Office at $8.75 per hour. Treasurer's report approved The Adair County Treasurer's report was unanimously accepted, but not presented or discussed in open court. Treasurer Barry Corbin reported a reconciled balance in all accounts of $1,303,905.89; and an unencumbered cash balance of $1,044,789.28 on March 31, 2015.

In other statistics, the shelter reported 23 intakes by Animal Control Officer Jimmy Harmon; walk-ins were 36. from Green County, 10. The court approves UK Extension Service grant to GRAS The Court unanimously agreed to accept a $1,700 grant benefitting the Green River Animal Shelter from the University of Kentucky Department of Agriculture, which Judge Stephens said had been obtained with help from Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture Jamie Comer. The 7-0 vote came on a motion to accept by Perry Reeder (4), with a second by Sammy Baker (3). Mr. Baker, commented that the animal shelter is "Really on the up go." Judge Stephens asked for and received approval to have the City of Columbia Sanitation Service pick up the dumpster at the Green River Animal Shelter. He said that the shelter would save money based on a change from $50 per pickup by the contract hauler, versus $57 per month for the city service. The 7-0 unanimous voice vote came on a motion by Magistrate Daryl Flatt (2), with a second by Billy Dean Coffey (5). Sheriff's Report Sheriff Harrison Moss reported that over 97% of the property taxes have been paid, which he said was approximately equivalent to collections in past years. For March 1-March 31, 2015: Net receipts for all entities was $127,689.46, his report said. Dean Adams approved for Economic Development Authority Judge Stephens recommended and the board approved, the appointment of Lindsey Wilson Vice President Dean Adams to the Columbia-Adair County Economic Development Authority, as of April 1, 2015. The voice vote was unanimous. The appointment will require City of Columbia City Council approval as well, as this seat, Judge Stephens said, is a joint one requiring both government units' approval. Court votes to continue to fund 4th of July Fireworks show On a motion by Sammy Baker (2), and a second by Harold Burton (1), the court voted 7-0 to continue to underwrite the Fourth of July Fireworks Celebration at the Adair County Fairgrounds each year. The County shares the payment of a balance after sponsors contribute. A guesstimate of what that might entail was not given in open court. Magistrate Sammy Baker, in moving to underwrite, said, "People seem to enjoy it." Court approves a line item change for Clerk's Budget The court approved a request from County Clerk Lisa Greer to change the line item for equipment from $30,000 per year to $65,000 per year. Judge Stephens said that clerk will use the money for needed upgrades in the office. The funds are provided by the state, he said, and could be used for no other purpose, and will mean no additional cost to the county, nor will it affect the amount of excess fees the clerk's office returns to the county general fund at the end of its January 1-December 31 fiscal year. "It's just a pass-through," Judge Stephens said. The unanimous voice vote came on a motion by Magistrate Billy Dean Coffey (5) with a second by Greg Caldwell (6). Two magistrates will serve as Safety & Health Committee The recommendation of two magistrates, Daryl Flatt (2) and Gregg Caldwell (6) to serve as a new Safety & Health Committee was unanimously approved on a voice vote, on a motion by Sammy Baker (3), with a second by Perry Reeder (4).
