Votes at a glance: court approves transfers, Millville waterline bid, Jack Jewett contracts and two reappointments

The court moved through routine business and a series of motions that were approved without objection.

The judge approved the claims (bills to be paid) after asking for questions, saying, “Seeing no objections, I’ll approve the bills to be paid without objection.” The court then approved transfers and quarter‑end transfers on a motion by Squire Taylor with a second by Squire Carl.

On infrastructure contracting, Squire Gentry moved to accept the bid from G and W Construction for the Millville waterline project in the amount of $297,100, citing a recommendation from Kentucky Engineering Group; the motion carried. The court also approved a proposal for integrated protection services (fire alarm and burglary services) at the Jack Jewett House for $11,947 (motion by Squire Gill, second by Squire Varner) and approved a five‑year alarm monitoring agreement with IPS effective Jan. 5, 2026. The judge noted that motions included authorization for the judge to sign any documents related to those awards.

Personnel and appointments were approved: a routine personnel order (motion by Squire Gentry, second by Squire Gill) and the reappointments of J.D. Woods to the architectural review board for a two‑year term (term set to expire 12/01/2027) and Wendell Shipp to the Human Rights Commission for a four‑year term (motion by Squire Gill, second by Squire Taylor). Each of those motions carried on the floor.

Most motions were uncontested and recorded as carrying unanimously; specific roll‑call tallies were not read into the record in full during the meeting.

The court adjourned following magistrates’ comments and a year‑in‑review presentation from the judge.
