Frankfort — The Franklin County Fiscal Court on Sept. 24 approved a budget amendment, authorized cash transfers and took multiple personnel actions following a closed-session discussion.
Squire Sherry Sebastian moved, Squire Mike Harrod seconded, for second reading and approval of Amendment #1 to Ordinance #4-2025 (the FY2025-2026 budget); the motion passed unanimously. The court also approved cash transfers for the fiscal year and received the Treasurer’s report.
The court voted to enter a closed session under KRS 61.810(1)(f) for discussions that might lead to appointment, discipline, or dismissal of an individual employee; the minutes record that the group later returned to open session. After returning to open session, the court approved the hire of Greg Grimes as a light equipment operator/driver and approved salary adjustments for the Payroll Clerk and for a part-time Building Inspector. All recorded personnel votes were unanimous.
The court recessed for a road trip later in the session and adjourned at 12:57 p.m.; the minutes show signatures by County Judge/Executive Michael Mueller and Fiscal Court Clerk Kim Cox.
The minutes do not provide the specific dollar amounts for the approved cash transfers or the salary adjustments; those details were not specified.
