Summary

Grayson County Fiscal Court – October 12, 2021

The meeting opened with a moment of silence in memory of David Clements, a longtime maintenance employee who had recently passed away.

Routine business was handled quickly: minutes (with a correction changing a reference from Twin Lakes Regional Medical Center to Grayson County Hospital District), payment of bills, and budget transfers for both the fiscal court and jailer were all approved without discussion.

The court approved use of ARPA funds to pay off the remaining balance owed to the City of Leitchfield for the police department (about $20,338) and to pay off the remaining $150,000 balance on nearby apartments behind the police department. Officials discussed that tenants in the apartments have already been sent eviction notices, and once vacated the property will be declared surplus and demolished to make way for the police department project.

The court also approved the sale of sheriff's surplus vehicles — a 2015 Dodge Charger, a 2008 Dodge Charger, and a 2004 Ford Taurus — mostly via GovDeals, with one vehicle to be sold directly to the Cloverport Police Department.

A minor maintenance issue was raised regarding a missing/dangerous brick step on the south side of the courthouse, which needs repair. The meeting closed with a motion to adjourn.

  • 4:54

    a motion motion by brian second by damon all in favor aye any opposed question on that nothing yes uh once we pay that bill department thought what happens then does he still get all the repeal anything from it or probably we talked about it no they've me and jeremy's talk they've all they've already been uh sent a letter to evict and then we would have to declare it i'm pretty sure we'd have to declare it surplus property and and then we would uh tear it down tear them down so but they've already been sent a letter for where the process of getting it vacated they've already been synthetic am i correct jeremy yeah a fairly you know manages that yeah he's told me that he's already sent eviction notices to them all uh at that point after that notice time is up we'll have to see if there's any holdovers and have to address that through me but uh and then at that point you know we can do it because that was our agreement he could continue to yeah that was the deal yeah without having any interest right operated as long as there's

  • 6:07

    any tenants in there well right and so since we're going and finishing out the transaction then we can go ahead and move forward once we get everybody out yeah i mean as they're in like these days you can't already put people out they don't want to leave where do we stand with something like that say there's two people left out of the whole building and said they're not leaving what happened the deal with federal government of course that thing's over now so and then he is he sent those and then we get jeremy involved and then they're just curious it's the same way that they do them you know before colgate actually happened and they would be i mean they'd be removed you know it takes a little bit you've got to go through the court and get the uh get the district judge to sign off on it but then the sheriff's office would physically remove their property from right premises it's a different circumstance than say so that we're we're evicting so that we can tear the building exactly it's not like we're saying you haven't been paying your event and go through that process this is the main part of the market so we'll cross that bridge when we come to it but we can get everything in court that we need to and they'll have a hearing date yes i don't think it would be an issue
