Summary

Hardin County Fiscal Court – January 26, 2021

This was a relatively brief and routine meeting dominated by department reports. EMS reported increased call volume and reimbursements compared to the previous year, while E911 (mike leo) presented detailed year-end statistics showing a slight overall decline in call volumes in 2020, attributed largely to COVID-19 keeping people home. The Detention Center report, delivered by Samantha Mitchell in the jailer's absence, covered lodging income, inmate population, charge breakdowns, medical services, and the inmate work program, which cleaned up over 1,200 miles of roads and collected nearly 2,850 bags of trash.

The Court approved a significant real estate purchase: a resolution authorizing the county to buy property at 200 South Provident Way in Elizabethtown for $1,650,000, intended for future county government expansion. This passed unanimously.

The consent agenda, covering routine administrative items, was approved without discussion. Magistrates had little additional business to report during their individual comment periods, and the meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn. The next meeting was scheduled for February 9th at 3:30 pm.

Overall, this meeting had no controversial items — the main substantive action was the land purchase for future county facility growth, which residents may see reflected in future capital projects.
