The $14 million dollar Trigg County budget for next year received no discussion before second approval Monday night. Judge Executive Hollis Alexander says this will get the county ready for the start of a new fiscal year.
As previously reported, the budget includes:
— A 3% raise for all county employees across the board;
— A $10,000 donation to Genesis Express for its new intergeneration building on KY 139;
— A possible $35,000 in additional election equipment for the county clerk’s office;
— A new Trigg County Rescue truck and two sets of battery-operated “Jaws of Life,” costing $190,000;
— Monies for Trigg County Rescue per diem at $30 per run and $30 per training session, capped at $75,000;
— A $10,000 investment into the “Campbell Strong” project
— $5,000 for planning and zoning
— A $300,000 investment for improvements to the Trigg County Rescue building
— A matching $225,000 for the Trigg County Recreation Complex and its concession stand, which should be met with federal dollars
To wrap up the current fiscal year, several transfers were approved including monies for the Adams Mill Road project and the Recreation Complex roof project.
