Adair Magistrates submit roads for repair at May meeting By Tiffany Kessler Tuesday evening's special called meeting of the Adair Fiscal Court allowed the county to get its first glimpse at the 2019-2020 budget for the upcoming fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019. During last month's meeting, the magistrates found themselves in a slightly heated debate on how to fairly distribute road funds. Dividing factors included whether money for each area should be based on amount of mileage per district, population density (ex: subdivisions), and/or the more costly maintenance of asphalt roads already in existence. District population was proven to be a nonexistent factor. County Clerk Lisa Greer, who was in attendance on a completely different matter, was questioned by the court and did acknowledge that each district is as close in population as possible, coming within only a 2% variation. Base it on Miles; Divide Funds Equally The debate during the meeting continued until Magistrate Sammy Baker made the motion to base road funding strictly on mileage. After more discussion, Magistrate Greg Caldwell seconded the motion and a roll call vote was taken. Each magistrate's vote is as follows: Harold Burton - Yes; Daryl Flatt - No; Sammy Baker - Yes; Chris Reeder - Yes; Billy Coffey - No; Greg Caldwell - Yes; Terry Hadley - No. With a tally of 4 Yes/3 No the motion passed. Before adjourning at that meeting, Magistrate Coffey made a motion to completely divide all road funds seven ways based on district mileage beginning July 1st. Magistrate Flatt seconded the motion and all voted in favor. And the Road Lists Are In The 2019-2020 county road budget has appropriated $2.3 million for the year which is 35% of the total county budget. In accordance with the magistrates' decision last month, these funds are equally and completely divided down to road department employee hours, supplies, and material costs. This leaves each magistrate with $60,000. Their totals do not include the possibility of additional funding through the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Flex Program or Discretionary Funds, both of which the county has submitted recommendations for. As of this week, each magistrate had a list of roads for their district which they believe were in need of repair. An overall total of $358,970 is included in the new budget however costs listed are estimates and official numbers will be based on the price index at the time the project is complete. District 1: Harold Burton Almon Wolford Road - $42,500 Bearwallow Cemetery Road - $6, 375 Total Cost $48,875 District 2: Daryl Flatt Hooterville Road - $27,625 Hector Curry Road - $10,625 Oak Grove (Part of) - $21,760 Total Cost $60,010 District 3: Sammy Baker Amon Spoon Road - $19,125 Combest Drive - $13,600 Buel Collins Road - $23,375 Total Cost $56,100 District 4: Chris Reeder (All chip and seal roads) Moss Cemetery - $17,100 Total Cost $17,100 District 5: Billy Coffey Burton Garmon Road - $25,500 Allen Curry - $4,000 Bill Handy - $7,300 Atkins - $3,000 Wisdom - $4,380 Angus - $1,600 Cannanland - $6,100 Poorman Lane - $2,520 G.
