Good evening. I'd like to call this meeting of the Davis County Fiscal Court to order. Today is October Thursday, October 23, 2025. Uh, Commissioner Castlin. — Thanks, Judge. Please stand if you're able and bow your head and pray with me. Heavenly Father, thank you for the changing of the seasons that brings the cool mornings and beautiful colors of autumn. Thank you for allowing us to live in a country where we are free to disagree with others. And please help us through our disagreements to grow in our understanding of one another while respecting our differences, knowing that each of us is unique yet created in your likeness. May our community always hear your guidance in our minds and hearts as we make decisions that affect our sisters and brothers. In your name we pray. Amen. — Amen. — I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisibley and justice for all.

General fund balance is 42,61,158.73 minus operating reserve restricted funds cash for general fund operations is $32,313,449.13.

The membership scope and other details of each working committee are established

by executive order. So this executive order functionally replaces the prior. There is no action for fiscal court to take. This is presented as an update to the public and introduction into the permanent record. — Thank you, Mr. Johnson. — C.

Do I see are there any corrections, additions, or deletions? — Nope. — Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. — I. — B. All claims for all departments. — Motion to approve. Second. — A motion. Second. These are all the bills doing payable by Davis County

Fiscal Court. Are there any questions for the treasurer? — Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. — I. — C. Second reading of KC C.8 11-2025, [snorts] an ordinance imposing a temporary moratorum of certain categories of group housing and facilities in Davis County. — Make a motion to approve. Second. — Got a motion, a second. This is this is the uh council. You want to speak this or go ahead. — I'll read the uh whereas clauses again. The Davis County Fiscal Court has received public input expressing concern over the location of certain categories of group housing and other facilities within Davis County. And whereas the Davis County Fiscal Court desires to obtain data related to these types of group housing and facilities to determine the accuracy of public input. And whereas the Davis County Fiscal Court desires the Owensboroough Metropolitan Planning Commission to review the zoning ordinance to determine whether changes are needed to address the concerns raised by citizens. And whereas the Davis County Fiscal Court believes it it is appropriate to pause applications

with regard to these categories of group housing facilities while the planning commission conducts its review. Now therefore be it ordained by the fiscal court of the county of Davis come with Kentucky there's five sections and uh it's proposed that this moratoria will last for one year. — Thank you counselor. — Yes sir. — Um just for the public this is a mirror image of what the the uh u city of Owensboro passed maybe I don't know couple three weeks ago. Um and so we'll be working together with OMPC to see what changes we might make. Uh Commissioner Condor, thank you Judge. Just as a commentary uh toward this type of moratorium, I'm glad that OMPC is actually actively working on this issue and to to emphasize some points. I believe this moratorum is mainly geared toward those agencies that are not necessarily performing the way that they should be uh and doing things that are just simply not to the best interest of not only their clients but also their neighbors. And to that point, we should

celebrate uh where two out of five individuals succeed in re rehab. And we should we truly truly should. the other three is where this concern comes from. Uh, and noting what happens with them, how do we leave them alone? And I believe each one of us received an email today from True North. True North is one of those good agencies that assists and helps individuals daily, even after hours or whatever the case may be. And I'd like to just read one sentence that was placed in there by Lauren Morrison, one of the uh, owners of the facility. And what she says and is everybody should able to just grab a hold of this. We witness people move from hopelessness to independence which looks like individuals working, paying taxes, parenting their children, volunteering and contributing to the betterment of the community. Our staff live and work in this area and take great pride in seeing those success stories unfold here at home. Of all the narrative that Miss Morrison placed out there, that is the one we should take a hold of. Uh but yet

understand the issues that of other individuals also need to be addressed. Thank you, judge. — Thank you, Commissioner. Anyone else? Anyone from the public wish to speak to this hearing? None. All those in favor signify by saying I. — I. — D. Accept proposal by Bryant Engineering Incorporated for typogorraphics survey series. — Motion to approve. — Second. Had a motion. Second, Mr. Johnson. Fiscal Court contracted with Brandsteader Carol Incorporated for the design services of the Davis County Public Safety Facility in fiscal court session 117 of 2024. In that contract, several services related to the design of the facility are the responsibility of the county instead of the architect. The topographical survey required is one of those services. We requested proposals and are recommending the lowest and best evaluated quote submitted by Bryant Engineering Incorporated in the amount of $8,500. Deliverables will be sent to the architect to incorporate into the design documents. Bryant Engineering Incorporated is a known firm. Public safety director Jeremy Smith, project manager Joe Paul Bickett Legal, and myself have reviewed the proposal and we see no issues.

— Thank you, Mr. Johnson. Any questions or comments from the court? — No. — Any questions or comments from the public hearing? Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. — I. — E. Accept proposal by Vector Engineers Incorporated for geotechnical site characterization services. — Most to approve. — Second. — Got a motion. Second, Mr. Johnson. — As with the prior item, the required geotechnical site characterization is a responsibility of [clears throat] the county as part of the design services of the public safety facility. Our contracted architect, Brandsteader Carol Incorporated, reviewed qualified agencies for the work and presented the attached proposal from Vector Engineers Incorporated in the amount of $12,300 with additional services likely being less than $2,000. We are recommending acceptance of this proposal with the deliverables being sent to the architect to incorporate into the design documents.
