Perry County Auditor Kristinia L. Hammack posted a one-page Special Commissioners Meeting Notice calling the Board of Commissioners into session at 9:00 a.m. Tuesday, March 24, 2026, the county website shows. The notice, posted March 5, 2026, bears the heading, "SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS MEETING NOTICE. TUESDAY, MARCH 24, 2026. 9:00 A.M."

The county posting identifies the auditor as the preparer and includes the county’s standard ADA language indicating accommodations will be provided upon request. The online news feed for Perry County also shows activity dated March 5, 2026, when the county posted other items including a proclamation declaring March Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, confirming the March 5 timestamp for the meeting notice.

The one-page public snippet posted on March 5 does not include full agenda text or a listed location in the available excerpt, so the published item does not itself verify whether the March 24 session will open community project bids. The notice available in the public snippet stops after the date/time heading and the truncated ADA sentence, and the full agenda and any bid-related language were not present in the portions of the posting provided.

A separate public meeting calendar in the Perry County Tribune lists a commissioners meeting at 9 a.m. Wednesday, March 26, 2026, at 212 South Main St., New Lexington, creating a different date and a specific street address in the newspaper calendar. The Tribune’s public‑meetings guidance states, "Except in the case of an emergency meeting, The Perry County Tribune should be informed of meeting times at least two days in advance. When possible, give at least one week’s notice," underscoring the paper’s role in the county notice process and the need to reconcile multiple postings when dates differ.

County procedural text on the official site notes regular meetings are set for the second Monday of each month at 1:00 pm at the Somerset Public Library, 117 W. Main, Somerset, and further states that "The media and public will be given 24-hour notice for any special" meetings in its published rules. Historical commissioners calendar entries show the board posts numerous special and regular meeting dates going back through 2022 and 2023, including a labeled Special Meeting entry for March 1, 2023, indicating that special sessions are a recurring part of the board’s schedule.

The posted March 5, 2026 one-page notice prepared by Auditor Kristinia L. Hammack is the county’s authoritative record for the March 24 session; the full agenda, meeting location, and any explicit bid-opening language were not available in the public snippet and should be confirmed via the complete posted notice or the commissioners’ office prior to the meeting.
