Fiscal Court Meets; Several Items Discussed

VOLUME 87 NUMBER 48 THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1974

Several items of business were before the Rockcastle County Fiscal Court at their regular monthly meeting Tues-day.

The meeting began with a contract presented to the Court by Wallace Roy of the State Department of Highways for the hauling, spreading and/or stockpiling of 5200 tons crushed limestone by the county for the state at a contract price of $5.32 per hour. In the past, this contract has been let at $1.00 per ton but the state now figures the contracts on an hourly basis using the county's labor and trucks. Mr. Roy told Fiscal Court members that the county would not lose any money by this new method in that the total contract price was $5,200, or the same amount as if the contract were figured at $1.00 per ton. However, Mr. Roy also told the court that the contract had a completion clause in it whereby if the man-hour usage should go over the total contract price of $5,200, the county agrees to complete the hauling, spreading and/or stockpiling of the limestone at the total contract price. Of course, if the man-hours should fall short of the total contract price - then, the state agrees to pay the total amount of the $5,200 contract.

Delno Mink, newly ap-pointed Dog Warden for Rockcastle County, also met with the Court to present his report for the first two weeks of his operation covering July 1-15. Mr. Mink also told the Court that he did not feel he was getting the proper support from the County Health Department as to ascertaining, whethet-or not a dog is rabid. Mr. Mink told the Court that he had had to kill at least one dog which was more than likely rabid and that at that time he had not been able to get any cooperation from the Health Department. in getting the head of the dog sent off for tests.

Mr. Mink also told the Court that he felt that he should be provided with an office in the Courthouse since it was necessary for him to be

responsible for sums of money belonging to the State and for dog licenses issued to him for sale to dog owners. After much discussion among the Magis-trates, Civil Defense Director Larry Burdett6r»—who was present at the meeting, told the Court that he would be agreeable to sharing the two-room office which the county provides his office on the third floor of the building.

Garbage Collection was back on the agenda for the Magistrates this month with a decision by the Magistrates to continue the^ garbage pick-up operation as it now stands for another month and in the meantime, the Magistrates will meet with City-COunty officials to see if there could not be something worked out whereby the City would help to provide funds for funding the service. Magistrate Ernest Mason said he felt that the main problems of the Garbage Collection system were with the four containers located adjacent to Mt. Vernon. He said that he felt that since it seemed that the residenU and businesses of Mt. Vernon were using these containers freely that one solution to the problem might be a $3.00 garbage collection fee added on to all city water users' bills to pay for door-to-door collection by Rock-castle Sanitation Servicty

However, the matter was left until next month, after the Magistrates meet with members of the Mt. Vernon City Council, for settlement.

The recreation room of the Library building also came up for discussion again with

Magistrate Ernest Mason making a motion that the facilities be advertised for rent

' for a recreation room and restaurant. Two of the Magistrates, particularly Mag-istrate Daany Sargent and County Judge Hubert Thacker seemed to think it might be wiser to leave the room to be used as a sort of Community Room with the possibility that some of the Civic organizations might make use of the room and help with the utility expenses.
