The Campbell County Fiscal Court met to address various county matters, including employee recognitions, infrastructure projects, and financial resolutions. The meeting began with the acknowledgment of Michelle Eviston, who was named Kentucky Child Support Attorney of the Year for the second time, a rare distinction in the state. Several Campbell County Police Department members were also recognized, including Nikki Owen as the first-ever civilian Employee of the Year and Major Jeremy Newberry, who is retiring after 21 years of service. A major focus of the meeting was the AJ Jolly Lake restoration project. Officials discussed extensive sediment buildup in key areas of the lake and outlined two potential approaches: a full dredging project estimated at $14.4 million or a more cost-effective in-house solution projected at $3.1 million. The Fiscal Court approved moving forward with the in-house approach, which involves purchasing a long-reach excavator, hiring additional staff, and implementing long-term maintenance strategies. Additionally, a $2.2 million plan was approved for improvements to the AJ Jolly Dam spillway to ensure structural integrity and prevent further deterioration. Other business included approving road resurfacing projects, budgeting for emergency management grants, and updating local infrastructure records. The court also heard concerns from residents about road safety on Plum Creek Road and agreed to communicate with state officials regarding potential improvements. The meeting concluded with routine financial approvals and scheduling updates for upcoming county park reservations.
