The Perry County Fiscal Court approved a series of routine administrative measures, including road adoptions, construction contracts and two resolutions to advance economic-development reviews.
The court voted to adopt Ben Mar Lane, Maggie Way and Bee Haven Drive after a second reading of each road adoption. It also approved awarding the Citizens Lane improvement construction contract to Mountain Enterprise Incorporated for $903,750.43. The presiding official said the project is intended to upgrade a traffic signal near the McDonald’s/dollar store area to handle existing and expected new traffic, and that the project will be funded with local government economic development funds. “This is l g e b l, local government economic development funds that we are using for this project,” the Chair said.
The court approved Resolution 2026-014, authorizing a memorandum of agreement between Perry County and RP Hospitality LLC to begin site review for a proposed hotel. The court also approved Resolution 2026-015 to convey any county interest, if any, in property at 221 Main Street in Big O; the Chair said the action responds to a prior municipal dissolution of Vicco and is intended to confirm the county holds no title or financial interest in the parcel.
On personnel policy, the court approved Ordinance 2026-002 amending the county administration code to permit a personal cash-out option for accrued sick or vacation time with a maximum annual cash-out noted as 40 hours.
The court approved multiple NRCS-related contracts and memoranda of agreement: awarding NRCS DWP 5075-016 (Lick Branch rail and crib) to Hinkle Construction Services as a reimbursement job; and approving a memorandum with Combs Trucking for the Lower 2nd Creek NRCS project, which includes a partial down payment (cited in discussion as about $125,000 pending final agreements). The court also approved a memorandum of agreement with the Commonwealth of Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to assist reconstruction of county roads and bridges damaged in the 2025 disaster.
Budget and settlement items approved included an amendment to the Sheriff’s budget and acceptance of the 2022 unmined coal settlement distribution: county $14,506; special taxing districts $35,833; school $70,008.45; state $15,000.68.
Motions to approve the listed items were repeatedly moved by Church and seconded by Spencer; votes were recorded as voice votes with “aye” and no opposition reported during the meeting. The court adjourned after completing its agenda.
The meeting did not record roll-call tallies by individual member name for the listed approvals; the article reports only the motions and outcomes as stated in the transcript.
