Adair County Judge Michael Lee Stephens presided at the Special Meeting of the Adair Fiscal Court, Tueday, March 21, 2017, at 1pmCT. The surprise appearance came just four hours after he had said that it would likely be April before he would preside again. It was the first time since his January 26, 2017, surgery that he assumed the duties of presiding over the meetings.

At the meeting, the court addressed line item budget transfers, disbursements, and approved a Memorandum of Agreeement with the Kentucky Transportation Department for Discretionary Funds in the amount of $114,814.93.



Judge Stephens was clearly disappointed that an expected $238,000 in Discretionary Funds was reduced by more than half. He said that the reduced amount occurred when the State charged construction of the Barnett's Creek Bridge, previously thought to have been emergency funds, to this year's discretionary grant. The reduction meant that only three projects turned in by magistrates would be approved. 1) For resurfacing a portion of Cane Valley Road, 2) For resurfacing on Corbin's Bend Road, and 3) For resurfacing a portion of Hughes Road.

The three projects above were selected by the Transportation Cabinet.

Gregg Caldwell, District 6 Magistrate, explained that he had advocated for Cane Valley Road because of the damage to the road by heavy trucks using the road during the construction of the Heartland Parkway.

The court approved the MOA and approved authorizing the County Judge Executive/Deputy CJE signing the agreements.

Disbursements: Line Item Transfers approved

The Court unanimously approved line item transfers for two items:
  1. $4,956.75 from line 01-9200-999 reserve to transer to line 01-5217-548 for supplies
  2. $80.90 from line 01-9200-999 reserve to line 01-5005-445 for county attorney office supplies.
Present at the meeting were CJE Stephens, Deputy CJE Andrea Waggener, all members of Fiscal Court, Harold Burton (1), Daryl Flatt (2), Sammy Baker (3), Perry Reeder (4) Billy Dean Coffey (5) Gregg Caldwell (6), and Terry Hadley (7); Treasurer Melinda Quinn, County Attorney Jennifer Hutchison-Corbin, Sessions Recording Clerk Gale Cowan, County Road Superintendent Terry Corbin, and members of the media.
