Summary
The Ohio County Fiscal Court met on March 14, 2023, and worked through a routine agenda covering minutes, bills, and a financial statement acknowledgment, followed by the second reading and passage of Ordinance 2023-6 (administrative code cell/salary changes).
Several personnel actions were approved by roll call, including a part-time courthouse custodian, a seasonal golf course attendant (Marianne Terry), another seasonal golf course attendant (Steve Segers), and a substitute meal driver for the senior building (Jeremy Dixon).
The court declared an old military-surplus forklift at the park as surplus property so it can be sold, with proceeds going toward the Sheriff's Department capital outlay. The court also discussed donating discretionary funds ($100 from each magistrate, totaling $600) to support the Magistrates and Commissioners Association's countywide shoe drive effort.
The golf course committee sought approval to let the County Treasurer open a dedicated bank account for debit/credit card transactions at the park and golf course, to help move away from cash transactions.
Two policy matters were tabled for further review: an ordinance permitting off-road vehicles like side-by-sides on certain county roads (pending liability questions to be raised with the county's insurance carrier), and a proposed buffer-zone resolution restricting certain development near property lines, which will be revised with clarifying language about residential exemptions and addressed at the next meeting on March 28th.
