Fiscal court OKs FAHE contract to administer Hickory Hill CDBG grant

Knott County Fiscal Court approved a contract and associated documents with FAHE for administration of the Hickory Hill CDBG grant (23-049) during a special-called meeting on March 20, 2024.

Speaker 2 introduced the agenda item and asked staff to summarize the contract. Speaker 1 explained that the packet included the contract and supporting documents and that FAHE had already been approved to administer the grant in prior action; this motion was to approve the formal contract documents. A motion to approve the contract was made by Calvin Wallace and seconded by Rick Thomas; the court approved the contract by voice vote.

The transcript indicates this is a routine annual contract arrangement; the court did not discuss contract dollar amounts or detailed scope during the meeting. The meeting record does not include the full contract text; staff indicated this is the same administrative setup used previously.

Next steps: staff will proceed with formalizing the contract with FAHE and administering the Hickory Hill CDBG program as indicated; no timeline or reporting schedule was specified in the meeting transcript.
