— Ohio County Judge-Executive David Johnston appointed a committee to look into organizing an equipment rodeo for the county road and water departments, as well as the city road and water departments. Johnston hopes to have the event in October of this year. Johnston thought the rodeo promoted safety, morale and skill. The members of the committee are Paul Sandefur, Charlie Shields, Jason Geary, Johnny Bryant and Third District Magistrate Joe Barnes. — Darren Luttrell, a representative from the Airport Board, came before the court seeking funds for construction at the Ohio County Airport. A previous fiscal court had already agreed to fund the construction in the amount of $120,000. Luttrell came to inform the court construction would be finished before the next court meeting and payment would be needed. Luttrell also asked the court for $15,000 more, but the Federal Aviation Administration would reimburse the county for the same amount. The reimbursement would take about 3 or 4 months. It was said the court had already given the construction company around $60,000, so the total amount this time would be around $75,000. Fourth District Magistrate Larry Keown made a motion to pay the construction company the remaining money it’s owed, plus $15,000, after the work has been finished. Fifth District Magistrate Larry Morphew seconded the motion. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously.  Second District Magistrate Jason Bullock was not present for this meeting.
