Fiscal Court August 25

Consent Agenda (all items approved)

• Previous minutes approved
• Seasonal staff for Parks and Golf
• $45,5937.50 budget transferred for SS4A (safe streets for all) and recent storm cleanup
• Accept July treasurer report

Ordinances (all approved)

• Credit KOI Superior Walls for new employee occupational tax
• Change zoning on 37-acre parcel on west side of KY237 between Overlook Dr. and Barbara Dr. to allow multifamily development. Several community members expressed concerns with traffic in the area already, especially a left turn across KY237 that cars would be taking to access 275. The suggested fix for this was to take a right turn, go to the light and make a u-turn. This complies with KYTC suggestions. No turn signal needed per KYTC. One community member asked for a moratorium on building to let infrastructure catch up. (This was essentially ignored.)
