Emergency Communications To Improve In Trigg After Action From Magistrates

Trigg County magistrates approved two resolutions and two purchases during Monday evening’s meeting.

The first resolution passed involved Trigg County Hospital and Homeland Security. Judge-Executive Hollis Alexander said the funding would help the ambulance department.

Magistrates also approved a quote from Jackson Purchase 2 Way Radio of Paducah to purchase radio equipment to improve the county’s radio system. The purchase is being made alongside the City of Cadiz.

In other action, magistrates approved the Kentucky Transportation Road Aid Agreement. Alexander said the county would see $1,383,377.

Magistrates also approved the purchase of a Volvo EW60E Compact Excavator from Rudd Equipment Company in Evansville, Indiana. It will replace a piece of equipment for the road department that has not worked for nearly five years.

Alexander reminded magistrates about the Ag Appreciation Dinner that will occur Tuesday evening at 6:00 at the Lexie Bush Convention Center at the Trigg County Recreation Complex. The speaker will be Kentucky Ag Commissioner Ryan Quarles.
