Perry County Fiscal Court Awards Contract, Approves Draw Requests at Routine Meeting

Perry County Fiscal Court moved through a slate of infrastructure and administrative business at its routine session Monday, approving draw requests totaling more than $149,000 for an ongoing sewer project and awarding a new professional-services contract.

The largest single action involved the Upper Second Creek Sanitary Sewer Phase 1, for which the court approved a draw request of $149,297.42 by voice vote. That draw is backed by three federal and state funding streams: the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority, the Appalachian Regional Commission, and the Community Development Block Grant program.

The court also approved Requisition 18 and related draw requests for the Sky View Water and Sewer project by voice vote. Detailed dollar amounts for that requisition are recorded in county draw documentation but were not publicly itemized at the meeting.

On the contracts side, the court awarded a professional-services agreement to Lonnie Brewer at $50 per hour. The motion was made by Church and seconded by Holmes. The scope and duration of Brewer's contract were not specified in meeting materials available at publication.

The court additionally authorized demolition contracts tied to an NRCS buyout program, though no contractor names or dollar amounts were disclosed in the session's summary. Administration services for FEMA and NRCS programs were also contracted, again without specific vendor or cost details entered into the public record at this stage.

Rounding out the federal disaster management actions, the court re-designated Stephanie Adams as FEMA applicant agent, a role that coordinates the county's formal relationship with the agency on disaster assistance programs.

Routine housekeeping items opened the meeting. Spencer moved to approve minutes from the previous session, with Holmes providing the second. Spencer also moved to approve bill payments and invoices per fund, which passed with voice approvals recorded.
