Court approves multiple appointments: airport, housing authority, tourism bureau and inspectors

The fiscal court on Sept. 18 confirmed a slate of appointments and reappointments to county boards. Judge Jones moved to reappoint Frank Hatcher and Kendall Wright to the Pikeville Pike County Airport Board; he also nominated Marvin Hensley, Gypsy Cantrell, Eugene Gibbs, Roxanne Blankenship, Dave Adams and Danny Michael Newsome to the Housing Authority, and nominated Judy Patton and Debbie Huffman to the Tourism Convention and Visitors Bureau. Each motion was seconded and approved by roll call.

The court also appointed Darren Compton, Jerry Deskins, Christopher Coleman and David Pinson as authorized electrical inspectors — each noted as holding valid Kentucky electrical licenses — and reappointed Randall Osborne to the Big Sandy Heritage Center Museum with Shannon Deskins receiving an initial appointment. Judge Jones said both airport appointees are "very active members of the airport" and that the airport "is in very good financial shape."
