Franklin County Fiscal Court voted on Aug. 30, 2024, to create a new Community Outreach Coordinator position in the County Attorney’s Office following a special meeting presided over by County Judge/Executive Michael Mueller.
The motion to create the position was made by Squire Kelly Dycus and seconded by Squire Sherry Sebastian. Voting in favor were Squires Sherry Sebastian, Kelly Dycus, Mike Harrod, Richard Tanner and Eric Whisman and Judge Michael Mueller. Squire JW Blackburn was absent. The transcript record does not specify the position’s duties, salary, classification or effective date.
The vote followed a closed-session authorization earlier in the meeting. The closed session was taken under Kentucky’s open-meetings statute, KRS 61.810(1)(f), described in the minutes as for “discussions or hearings which might lead to the appointment, discipline, or dismissal of an individual employee.” The court returned to open session before the motion to create the position was introduced and voted.
County Attorney Max Comley was listed in attendance for the special meeting. The meeting was called to order at 3:25 p.m.; it was livestreamed by the Frankfort Plant Board (channel 10) and the Franklin County Fiscal Court’s official Facebook and YouTube pages. Fiscal Court Clerk Kim Cox signed the meeting record.
The minutes and the motion record do not include a job description, funding source, salary range or an implementation timeline; those items were not specified at the meeting and would need to be provided by county staff if the court is to adopt detail or begin recruitment.
