Adair Fiscal Court accept's CJE's Option 1, with 5-2 vote Court deliberates less than hour and settles on Judge Melton's option one, of three options, with a 5-2 vote. Biggest winner in new package: Magistrate Perry Reeder, whose District 4 was completely left out of the original plan, formulated outside Fiscal Court; and will now receive the second highest amount, $64,443.39. Biggest loser, Magistrate Billy Rowe's District 4, which would have had the biggest project in the orginal plan, and will now receive the lowest amount of funds, $28,736.73. By Ed Waggener In a relatively brief meeting, starting at 4pmCT and over before 5pmCT, Friday, 26 Sep 2014, the Adair County Fiscal Court voted 5-2 to resolve the $385,000 in discretionary road funds received from the Kentucky Department of Highways accepting option one - of three options - present by Adair County Judge Executive Ann Melton. The court voted to leave two roads which rated high on the 1-10 scale best-to-worst scale: Bennett Ridge Road in Magistrate Billy Dean Coffey's District 5, $67,322; and Piercy Road in Magistrate Joe Rogers' District 6, $56,270, and divide the remaining $261,408 proportionately by road mileage in the other Districts. (A third road in the original package and which was rated bad enough to warrant repaving, the Marlo Campbell Road in District 1, will be paved with Flex Money, according to Judge Melton). Under Judge Melton's Option 1, the other five districts will receive the following amounts:
Magistrate Joe Rogers voted for the package, accepting the Piercy Road blacktopping, even though it cost less than he would have gotten under the proportional funding formula. However, his district should get more immediate action on that road, because it has already been rated in acceptable need of repairs. The biggest winner of the evening was Magistrate Perry Reeder, who had been totally left out of the original set of roads presented to the court, and will now have $64,024.65 to use in his district, which contains one of two roads Judge Melton said were the county's two worst: Jr. Loy Road and Piercy Road. Another big winner was Magistrate Sammy Baker, who will have $70,195 to spend. The biggest loser in the agreement this evening was Magistrate Billy Rowe's District 7, which had been scheduled to have the biggest project, a 2 mile stretch of Taylor Ford Road from KY 206 to the Jr. Burton Road in the original plan for the $385,000 the county received in Discretionary Road Money, but will now receive just $28,736.97. Option 2 and 3 not discussed The two options not deliberated were Option 2, which would have divided all the money equally among the Districts and given $55,000 to each. Option 3 would have divided all the $385,000 by road mileage, with the following results:
Flex Money accepted The court voted unanimously to accept the state's Flex Money, package of approximately $309,000 approved its intended use, and voted to give Judge Melton approval to sign necessary documents. Details on Flex Funds applications will will be posted later, as will details on the Magistrates application of the Discretionary Money, above. Answers to questions we expect from readers and will watch ourselves is: 1) What roads will receive Flex Money, 2) where the Discretionary Money will be spent, and 3) Inform readers if any of the original roads presented by the unofficial outside group are funded otherwise; i.e. if any of the "3", low priority projects are funded with Flex or Discretionary Money, and 4) Whether all projects approved for Flex Funds. All the Flex money and the Discretionary money spent will be subject to state approval, but some or all will be handled by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's District 8. All eight members of the court, the seven magistrates and County Judge Executive Ann Melton; Sheriff Harrison Moss, Recording Clerk Gale Cowan, County Attorney Jennifer Hutchison- Corbin, Republican County Chair Tiffany Kessler, Rep. Bam Carney, and members of the media were present. This story was posted on 2014-09-26 17:47:01
