FiscalCourtlogo

During its June 9 meeting, the Ohio County Fiscal Court entered into an interlocal agreement, agreed to pay for citizens' WorkKeys Tests, added a road to the county road system, made appointments to committees and advertised for bids. — Ohio County Judge-Executive David Johnston presented the fiscal court with a resolution to become part of an interlocal agreement with the counties of Daviess, Hancock, Henderson, McLean, Union and Webster. The counties involved in the interlocal agreement will join with the Green River Area Development District (GRADD) to form a board to oversee workforce development in the region. The board will be tasked with several duties, including how to spend federal money used to fund the area’s career centers. Ohio County has one of the few career centers solely funded by the county. “In order for us to have a say and to fight for (Ohio County), we have to be a part of (the interlocal agreement),” Johnston told the court. “And actually, the federal government says we must do this.” Johnston then asked for a motion to approve the signing of the resolution. County Attorney Justin Keown said he’d only seen the resolution that afternoon and wanted a clause removed stating the county attorney had read the interlocal agreement and certified everything was done legally. The reason Keown wanted the clause removed from the resolution was because he hadn't seen the agreement the county was about to agree to. He was not comfortable signing the resolution with no knowledge of what was in the agreement. Fifth District Larry Morphew asked Johnston if the court could table the resolution until the next June meeting. Johnston said the county was already pushing the deadline to pass the resolution and it needed to be approved in that meeting. Morphew was unsure on why the fiscal court was given the resolution at the last minute. Johnston said the interlocal agreement had only been drawn up in the last several weeks and Ohio County’s fiscal court meeting schedule was later than other counties. A representative from GRADD, who was in attendance for the meeting, said all the other counties have passed the resolution and signed the interlocal agreement. Third District Magistrate Joe Barnes asked if the resolution could wait until the next fiscal court meeting because the interlocal agreement wouldn’t be effective until July 1, 2015. Johnston said no. He was to hand deliver the resolution to GRADD the next morning. After further discussion, Fourth District Magistrate Larry Keown made a motion the fiscal court pass Resolution 2015-19 Interlocal Agreement, with the condition the county attorney has time to read the agreement and verify the other counties have complied. Second District Magistrate Jason Bullock seconded the motion. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. Johnston will represent Ohio County on the newly formed workforce development board.

The county also pays for every junior to take the WorkKeys Test at the Ohio County High School. To receive the WorkKeys Tests, the fiscal court needed to sign a memorandum of agreement (MOA) stating it would pay for the tests and the Kentucky Community and Technical College would provide the tests. There were two MOAs to sign, due to the ending of Fiscal Year 2015 on June 30 and Fiscal Year 2016 beginning on July 1. The county set aside $10,000 to pay for both the students and adults test. Bullock made a motion to sign the MOAs and provide the WorkKeys test free for adult citizens. Larry Keown seconded the motion. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously.

Larry Keown seconded the motion. The road was inspected and approved by a three person committee appointed by Ohio County Judge Executive David Johnston. The road is to be entered into the county maintenance program immediately. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. — Johnston told the fiscal court the county has been approached many times about leasing county owned land for gas or oil rights. He was not inclined to pursue the issue, but decided a committee needed to look into the issue further. He appointed Larry Keown, Barnes and Justin Keown to the committee and tasked them to meet within the month and report back to the fiscal court. — Johnston appointed a Road Viewing Committee to look at High Ridge Lane off of Silver Beach Road. The road is just over a half mile long. The viewing committee will be made up of Bill Burden, Jeff Miller and Josh Wright. — Barnes informed the court the Road Committee would like to advertise for bids on a road grader for the county road department. Barnes made the motion to advertise for bids. Morphew seconded the motion. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. — Larry Keown made a motion to add 275 feet to the Sexton Road. It was explained this was an old county road. Morphew seconded the motion. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. — After a short closed session meeting to discuss possible litigation, Johnston added Morphew to the Jerusalem Ridge Committee to serve with Bullock and Gerald Geary.
