The Campbell County Fiscal Court met on August 20, 2025, beginning with approval of minutes and moving into a wide range of business items. The Court adopted the 2025 ad valorem property tax rate, lowering the real property rate to 15.3 cents per $100 of value, below both the previous and compensating rates. Members also approved a memorandum of agreement with Boone County for veterinary services to streamline animal care needs. Several personnel actions were taken, including promotions within the Campbell County Police Department, the appointment of a new police officer, and hires in planning and zoning, parks and recreation, and animal services. The Court made multiple board appointments, including reappointments to the Public Library Board, a new representative to the Northern Kentucky Convention Center Board, and the first trustees for the newly created Transportation Improvement District. The meeting also included updates on community events such as the Festival on the Lake and the introduction of a professional arena football team, the Kentucky Barrels, at NKU’s Truist Arena. Additional actions authorized equipment purchases, senior center funding, a new emergency management truck, inmate medical service proposals, and snow removal bids. The Court entered an executive session to discuss property matters, made no decisions there, and later concluded with approval of claims and bills before adjourning.
