Summary

The Bullitt County Fiscal Court held a special meeting on June 28, 2023 to give second reading and adopt the county's fiscal year 2023-2024 budget, Ordinance 2316.

Before the reading, officials described three changes since first reading. The court moved $200,000 into the road department to buy equipment, taking the money from reserve. A math error in the figures for the two dollar across the board change was also corrected. In addition, ARPA funds were moved into the general fund reserve, which now includes about $731,000 in ARPA money. The stated reason was concern that the federal government could take back unspent funds as part of debt ceiling talks.

The ordinance was read in full, with the grand total for all funds given as roughly $49 million. The captions for the figures are partly garbled. The ordinance will be published by title and summary in the Pioneer newspaper, and the full budget is available for inspection at the county judge executive's office.

A motion to approve the budget ordinance was made and appeared to be approved by voice, though the captions do not name who moved or seconded or give a vote count. The court then adjourned the special meeting.
