LOUISA, KY. — After dispatching of the regular items on the fiscal court agenda yesterday morning, court members recognized the accomplishment of new KSP trooper Lisa Nelson, the first female to graduate from the Kentucky State Police Academy from Lawrence County. She is stationed at Post #14 in Ashland and is also a graduate of Bluegrass Community and Technical College.
Eighty applicants enrolled in the class but only 41 completed the academy, magistrate John Scaggs noted.
During a short regular November agenda the court also agreed to give $1,500 to the Search and Rescue department which represents the value of a van recently put up for bid by the court. Court members also agreed on motion of Mike Halcomb and second by David Pinson to give a van recently used by the Solid Waste dept. to the local Humane Society for use for hauling animals.
SADDLE CLUB
The Lawrence County Saddle Club will now be managed by the Lawrence County Fiscal Court like the other camp sites on motion of Rick Blackburn and second by Mike Halcomb.
“We will repair the barn and the trails and take care of the utility costs of the facility,” Judge Phillip Carter explained to the court.
The current Saddle Club will maintain the cabin and barn, Carter added. Monies for rentals and fees will also be managed by the Saddle Club. Carter also said the county has plans to add more cabins to the facility.
Blackburn said most people would be surprised at how many people from areas outside and in the county use the barn and other facilities. “They bring in a lot of visitors to the county and those visitors spend money at out local businesses,” Blackburn said.
In other business Carter acknowledged the resignation of 911/DES director Tim Ellis last month and the appointment of assistant Chris Cox to the job. The salary was not mentioned. Motion by David Pinson and second by Rick Blackburn.
ADOPTION OF $250,000 REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT
Court members agreed to a resolution creating a $250,000 revolving line of credit to help pay for unexpected expenses that come up and are paid for but the funding sometimes takes months or in some cases years to receive.
“We will first check with the Kentucky Association of Counties and then local banks to see where we can get the best rate of interest,” Carter said. “We need to be able to pay for some items before we get the actual funding and this should help us with that.”
Before making the motion to adopt the resolution magistrate David Pinson said he would like to see the bottom line and some stats on the line of credit. Carter said the county still has to approve any expenditure over $30,000 individually before any action can be taken. The second was made by Rick Blackburn.
again nothing about helping the city Rick you need to help your taxpayers out
time to share the pie
No one saw that comment coming!
KAG, what is your damn problem? Can anyone be as stupid as you act? The city offers you many benefits that the county does not. Does the county provide you street lights? Street cleaning? A PD with as many officers as the sheriff has, although you can still call the sheriff or constables? You are a liberal, who thinks everyone owes you something, just like ALL LIBERALS! I doubt you ever paid a tax in your life. You just whine, that’s all you do! It’s all any lidtard does. NO ONE OWES YOU ANYTHING KAG!!!!!!
Amen Charles!
i don’t like paying a tax or any tax and don’t get anything in return we elect a county magistrate but he doesn’t help the people who helped him get elected
time to share the pie
still living rent free
Yes, I imagine you’ve consumed your share of pie. I’m sure you live rent free.
More of miss leading the people of Lawrence County by your sheriff. The deputy in the academy is NOT replacing or taking the place of Cook who left. The deputy in training was hired before Cook left or even was planning on leaving so they are still short. Sure do hear a lot of people saying they aren’t getting what they were promised and told by the new sheriff he would do if the votes for him. Just goes to show you what you get when you elect a politician instead of a working SHERIFF. Just take notice citizens that your sheriff is doing same stuff him and his supporters bashed last sheriff and administration for. Word is he has left the county unprotected and let the state police take calls when people call off instead of him or his supervisor covering the county. People can’t get ahold of him and when they do he blows them off.Only in it for the money and look at me!! SAD! In case anyone hasn’t noticed he is doing a lot of the negative stuff him and his supporters said the other side would do if they got elected. Just remember Lawrence County you can fix the situation next time around.
By looking at Cory Cook, my impression was ‘that’s a really nice guy’. By looking at your sheriff, my impression is there is a sneaking underhanded person. I am a proud Republican and I know neither Jackson or the Democrat. If I lived there, I would have voted for the Democrat. My opinion is, you will see a lot more from your sheriff that doesn’t represent the good of your county. Time will tell.
could you give us the winning lotto numbers for sat night since you are a person of great wisdom
You couldn’t spell Saturday, could you? Now, my impression of you! You are, and will remain single. You have 3 or more children, all with different fathers. You live in a project house. You have a food stamp card. You get a welfare check of one sort or another, and draw SSI. You’ve never worked. You cry constantly about how life has been so bad too you. You have less than a 6th grade education. You constantly play the lottery, in hopes of getting rich; although you would be broke in less than a year.
I do know the Saturday lotto numbers, but I won’t tell you!
is it U81
I apologize for the above statement. KAG. I had no right to judge you and certainly had no right to say ‘all that’, I am sorry.
No, it’s U812 KAG!
