Click on Headline for complete story with photo(s) By Ed Waggener The Adair County Fiscal Court gave a warm welcome to Adair County Judge Executive Mike Stephens, who was presiding over a regular session of the court, May 9, 2017, for the first time since his surgery in January of this year. The full court was present, and a number of major decisions were made, including approval for a Needle Exchange program which will be implemented by the Lake Cumberland District Health Department, approved annual budget items for the coming fiscal year, appointed a new director, effective today, for the Green River Animal Shelter and for the Board of Assessment Appeals, and heard reports regular reports from the Sheriff, Adair County Regional Jailer, from the Budget, Nuisance, and Personnel Committees, and voted for a first reading of a road extension which will connect two existing ones in District Three. The Court tabled a consideration to award health insurance bids while the court takes time to study proposals, consideration of the salary for the County ABC Coordinator, delayed consideration of an item, "Sleep Inn Tax Exemption" discussion, and another labeled "4th of July Fireworks Discussion." Court hears presentation from Medical Helicopter Services PHI helicopters floated the idea of an installation at the Columbia/Adair County Airport to provide Medical Helicopter service from Columbia. PHI has existing units stationed in Monticello, and maintains instrumentation at TJ Health/Columbia. The company could provide service in inclement weather, and has four units within 20 minutes of Columbia. Also, spokesperson Tony Miller said, higher level medical service, including blood and plasma transfusions and minor surgical procedures can be provided on board their flights. The court also heard a report from Air-Evac's Dan Durham, who said that 23% of Adair Countians are now enrolled in Air-Evac, which serves the Adair County Community from Campbellsville and Albany. Chris Janes, Chairman of the Columbia/Adair County Airport, said that the board would welcome PHI to the local airport, and ultimately, whether the PHI locates here or not would be up to the City and County. The Airport is jointly owned by the two entities.
