The Montgomery County judicial court on May 19 approved routine administrative items, reappointed multiple local board members and reviewed courthouse reimbursement estimates and personnel-policy updates.
The court approved minutes for the April 1, 2026 regular meeting and the May 5 special meeting (the transcript records "Motion carries 3 0"). The court reviewed an order from the county clerk on motor vehicle and boat billing for 2026 totaling $5,609.85 and moved to approve that order.
The court reappointed Lindsey (Lindsay) Maple to a four‑year term on the Recreation Commission through 06/01/2030; Tom (Tommy) Parker to a three‑year term on the Mount Sterling–Montgomery County 9‑1‑1 board through 05/18/2029; Dwayne Williams to a four‑year term on the Montgomery County Water District board; Alice Ward to a two‑year term on the Sailor Wind Board through 06/30/2028; and Justin Cockrell to a three‑year term on the Tourism Board through 06/01/2029. The transcript records motions, seconds and voice votes for these reappointments; several items are explicitly noted as carried in the record.
The court reviewed a court facilities local government reimbursement form for courthouse operating costs covering fiscal year 07/01/2026–06/30/2027 and stated an estimated annual reimbursement of $103,833.80, paid quarterly at $25,958.45; a motion to approve the form was moved and seconded in the meeting record.
The treasurer reported no significant changes to the county’s financial position but noted the completion of open enrollment for health, dental and vision insurance and said rates will change effective July 1, with payroll deductions adjusted beginning in June. The treasurer said, "Don't have a whole lot extra on this. The only other extra thing that we've been working on is we had our open enrollment for the health insurance, dental, vision, and dental."
The court also introduced a first reading of an ordinance amending the Montgomery County administrative code and personnel handbook, noting updates to holiday and sick-leave language, added cybersecurity and Internet usage rules, updated job descriptions and starting wages in the road department, and no changes to the substance-abuse policy. No final action on the ordinance was recorded in the provided segments.
The meeting proceeded through agenda items without extended public comment and closed after brief thanks from the presiding officer.
