Fiscal Court: 4/1/26

Summary

The Campbell County Fiscal Court met on April 1, 2026, beginning with a public hearing on the Department of Housing’s annual plan, which reported no major changes, approximately 620 families currently assisted, and around 700 applicants on the waiting list; the plan was later formally adopted. The court also issued a proclamation recognizing April 2026 as Fair Housing Month, reaffirming its commitment to equal housing opportunities. During the regular meeting, minutes from March 18 were approved, and two police officers were sworn in. Old business included the second reading and unanimous approval of Ordinance 002-26, rezoning approximately 9.1 acres on Liquor Road from rural residential to rural commercial. New business featured adoption of a regional Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) interlocal agreement covering eight Northern Kentucky counties through 2031, outlining governance, funding, and coordination of workforce development services. Additional personnel actions included updating the Communications and Public Outreach Coordinator role to “Digital Media Specialist,” authorizing hiring for that position, appointing a full-time animal technician, and promoting a police officer. The county administrator presented updates including modifications to the solid waste voucher program—allowing residents to receive up to four vouchers at once annually and up to ten additional vouchers every four years—and approval of a $15,796 change order with Conger Construction for pre-construction services. The finance report included acknowledgment of the jailer’s FY2027 proposed budget, approval of a two-year inmate program agreement with the Department of Corrections, acceptance of a $691,410 bid from Mago Construction for spring road resurfacing, and contracts for household hazardous waste and electronics recycling services. Budget transfers, interfund transfers, and claims were approved, with one commissioner recusing from employee benefits-related claims. Commissioner reports highlighted regional workforce initiatives, cybersecurity awareness, broadband expansion success, and recognition of Brighton Center’s 60th anniversary. The meeting concluded with announcements about an upcoming household hazardous waste collection event and adjournment.
