ACTION: Magistrates took the following action: approved payment of claims as submitted, adopted a resolution approving the lease for fiscal court ambulance purchase and authorized execution of various documents related to such a lease, acknowledged the receipt of Sheriff’s Official Recept for 2009 property tax bills and voted to place a referendum on the May 2010 ballot to raise property taxes by five cents per $100 assessed value to pay for the new county jail.

REPORTS: Judge-Executive Davie Greer reported that she will meet with county attorney Jeff Sharp, Kevin Myatt, planning director of the Joint City-County Planning Commission, and representatives from the Kentucky Manufactured Homes Institute to further discuss how the county can move forward with planning and zoning related to mobile and manufactured homes as soon as they can find a date that KMHI can come to Barren County from Frankfort. Barren County Sheriff Chris Eaton reported that more than $19 million in property tax dues were sent out last week and his office has seen a large rush of payments in the first few days. Acting Jailer Matt Mutter said the Barren County Corrections Center currently has 135 inmates, of which 74 are state inmates. The jail conducted a routine annual test of its smoke alarms and evacuation systems on Tuesday and everything was working properly, he said.
