Adair Fiscal Court December 2018 Meeting - Report By Tiffany Kessler Adair Fiscal Court December Meeting Wraps Up 2018: Recognition for outgoing officials; Farmers Market pavilion; regular business management On Tuesday night, December 11, 2018, the Adair County Fiscal Court held their final monthly meeting for 2018. As with each meeting, the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer was said. In what took only about an hour, several items on the agenda were addressed, including the recognition of three outgoing officials. Magistrate Billy Coffey, representing the Adair Fiscal Court, had nothing but warm words as he presented each individual with a plaque. Magistrate Perry Reeder, Judge-Executive Michael Stephens, and Sheriff Harrison Moss were all recognized for the years of service to their community. Public Comment on Pavilion During the public comments portion of the meeting, Darrell Andrew brought up a recent topic that has been widely circulating since first mentioned at the December City Council Meeting. Andrews, who is a vendor of Farmers Market on the Square (FM2) and grows a variety of vegetables, was there in support of the project and requested some funding from the fiscal court to show support on behalf of Columbia/Adair County. The structure is a $500,000 project and would be located on the corner of Campbellsville and Merchant Streets. Andrews said, "We are asking the County Ag Development Board for $10,000. The rest of it comes from state funds, which is a different pool of money, and we plan on applying for federal funds." Magistrates Sammy Baker and Daryl Flatt said the next budget committee meeting will be held in January and agreed it would be wise to discuss the funding during that session. All magistrates seemed very positive for the move. Other Topics Tax Collection - Suzanne Rogers, with the Adair County Sheriff's Office, reported that $3.2 million in property taxes was collected during the month of November. Rogers says that the office has already collected over $5 million in taxes so far. Sheriff's Budget - Incoming Sheriff Josh Brockman has been working with Suzanne Rogers, already with the Adair County Sheriff's Office, on a budget for 2019. Brockman, who will not be sworn in until January, could not address the court concerning his budget, therefore Rogers spoke for him. She informed the court that the budget would see little change. Rogers also made mention of two areas that Brockman had to address - 1) gasoline costs had gone up and would see a small budget increase. 2) Some new equipment will be needed, such as replacements for older firearms. County Clerk's Report - County Clerk Lisa Greer reported that through November her office has been able to exceed its original projection of excess funds by $17,000 and still has the month of December to go. She also asked the court for a small raise for her full time employees. It would begin the first of the year and be based on performance and attendance. The court voted all in favor. Treasurer's Report - Melinda Quinn reported that the county currently has just over $1.4 million cash on hand. Board Appointments - By unanimous vote, both Ben Loy (re-appointment) and Amy Thompson Wells were appointed to the Adair County Extension Board. Judge Stevens With it being his last monthly meeting, Judge Stephens was asked about his time in office and said, "I have had a great group to work with. We didn't always agree but never left without some sort of compromise." Stephens went on to say, "I'm happy with the progress we've made. It has been a wonderful job for me. I feel like I've really made a difference." All magistrates were present: Perry Reeder (District 4), Sammy Baker (3), Daryl Flatt (2), Harold Burton (1), Billy Dean Coffey (5), Greg Caldwell (6) and Terry Hadley (7). Meetings are open to the public and are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 6pmCT in the basement of the Adair County Courthouse Annex, 400 Public Square, Columbia, KY.
