New Trigg County Judge Executive Hollis Alexander says he is looking forward to working with the Fiscal Court to address the countys needs and problems. Alexander presided over his first Fiscal Court meeting Monday night at the Trigg County Courthouse Annex. He says his first week in office was a busy one.
Meanwhile Trigg County Sheriff Ray Burnam presented his 2013 fiscal year budget, which calls for a 9500-dollar increase in total spending from 568,000 in 2012 to 577,500-dollars this year. He says deputies and court security officers are getting a pay raise, with all staff going to fulltime this year. Burnam did express concern over the cost of the animal control duties that are assigned to the department.
He says he realizes the need for a certified deputy, but also indicated the department needs more money to pay the animal control officer. Magistrates unanimously approved the budget, with the budget committee to discuss more funding for an animal control officer at their meeting in March.
Trigg County Clerk Doris McGill presented her first budget to magistrates, with McGill saying the spending plan is much like the last budget presented by retired Clerk Wanda Thomas.
McGill says the grant will pay to microfilm more records and install more roller shelving in the vaults on the main floor and storage areas in the basement of the annex.
Prior to the start of the meeting, Judge Alexander presented awards to the trash sculpture contest winners, with many of those on hand telling magistrates and the audience about how they used recyclable products to build their art. And magistrates met in an hour-long executive session to discuss personnel issues, but took no action and made no statement at the conclusion of the closed meeting.
