4:50
on festival and lake by Jane read Climb, March twenty
4:54
sixth to twenty twenty five. All discussion at the Willisburg
4:58
City Council meetium on Thursday in March twentieth focused on
5:01
two issues, the Willisburg Memorial Day celebration and the Willisburg Wake.
5:07
But before those discussions began, Mayor Wanda Thompson asked the
5:10
council to revote on a couple of items from the
5:13
previous meeting in February. The meeting had to be changed
5:17
from Thursday to Monday. Any tim a city council meeting
5:20
is at a time, date, or location other than its
5:23
standard it is a special call meeting, even as it
5:26
is simply rescheduling the normal monthly meeting. In a special
5:31
call meeting, council members can only discuss and act upon
5:34
items listed on the agenda. Thompson said the group inadvertently
5:38
treated February's meeting as a regular meeting and acted on
5:42
items not on the agenda. She asked the council to
5:45
revote just to assure everything was handled appropriately. Preparations for
5:50
the Memorial Day celebration are well underway, as council members
5:54
reported on donations received for the silent auction and vendors
5:58
that had been or needed to be contacted for the event.
6:01
Space is still available for craft and vendor booths as
6:04
well as food vendors. Brent Mackelboy reported that he had
6:09
received confirmation from ConA Ice that its trust will be
6:12
at the festival. He also reported the Cattleman's Association will
6:16
not be at the festival due to a lack of volunteers.
6:20
Council members discussed who else may be able to provide
6:22
food service. Thompson said she also had confirmations from a
6:26
coffee vendor and a separate donut vendor. City Clerk Sherry
6:31
Bobblett reported that banners for the festival sponsors have arrived
6:36
and showed them to the council. Those banners will be
6:38
displayed at the festival and at the softball field at
6:41
the Willisburg Community Park throughout the summer. The council also
6:46
discussed and approved a plaque for the Grand marshals and
6:49
trophies for the competitions, along with crowns and other items
6:53
for Little Miss and Mister. Another important item for the
6:57
festival was discussed portapies. In the past, the Washington County
7:01
Fiscal Court has paid that expense for the city. Thompson
7:05
said the county will not be paying for those this year,
7:08
but is donating five hundred dollars towards that extense. The
7:12
council voted to bring in eight units at a cost
7:14
of ninety dollars each and have them placed strategically around
7:18
the festival. In matters regarding the Willisburg Lake, the priority
7:23
item was a request from the Kentucky Transportation Council for
7:27
its temporary access to work on the road in dam
7:30
at the lake. There was one issue City Attorney Lizzie
7:33
Coulter said she would check on before Mayor Thompson signed
7:37
the agreement. Carla Ruble questioned how this would affect access
7:41
to the marina and her residence in the campground at
7:44
the lake. The council approved the agreement pending Colter's approval.
7:48
The issue of property owners with land adacia adjacent to
7:52
the city owned property surrounding the lake was discussed. Coulter
7:55
reported that she has been in contact with Darren Thompson
7:58
at Springfield Water Company. He is working with the Kentucky
8:02
Division of Water to protect the water at the lake.
8:05
Colter said Thompson will be sending educational material to all
8:08
landowners near the lake. Council Member Tammy Coulter suggested a
8:13
public meeting with all stakeholders to better inform them of
8:16
the issues and answer any questions they may have regarding
8:20
the one hundred foot strip of property surrounding the lake
8:23
that is owned by the city. The city also owns
8:27
the campground at the lake, and the need to evict
8:29
one of the campers was discussed. The individual is several
8:32
months behind on his rent and has been sent a
8:35
thirty day notice. Rubel reported that she has placed a
8:39
lock on the hitch of the camper and asked about
8:41
having the camper toad off the property. Lizzy Coulter said,
8:45
given the date the notice was sent, the city can
8:48
take no action until April first. Rubel said the camper
8:52
has been abandoned as a tenant, and as a tenant
8:56
has not been there in a couple of months. Coulter
8:59
said that his question as the individual was in jail
9:02
part of that time and then in a drug abuse
9:04
treatment facility. In other matters at the lake, Rubel said
9:08
Don's Marina will not be offering pontoon rentals this summer
9:12
due to the cost of replacing and upgrading the motors
9:15
on the ponting boats. Rubel's daughter Catherine brought up the
9:19
need for electricity at the docks for boats flip renters
9:22
to recharge the batteries on their boats. Last fall, an
9:25
issue arose with the electrical wiring that was installed by
9:28
an employee of Don's and Marina, and animals were chewing
9:32
into the wires. Formal Councilman Timmy Stein checked out the
9:36
wiring at that time and said it was extremely unsafe.
9:40
He removed the breaker serving the dock area to prevent
9:43
use of those outlets until appropriate repairs could be made.
9:47
The council voted to ask Mike Kelsey to look at
9:50
the electrical system at the lake and make recommendations. Before
9:54
the meeting adjourned. Mayor Thompson informed the council that there
9:57
would be discussion of occupational and li taxes at the
10:01
next meeting on April seventeenth. Team leadership gets hands on
10:07
education from first responders Springfield, Washington County Rescue squad's member
10:14
Danny Krout, showed team leadership students how to use the
10:17
squad's equipment to extricate a victim in an automobile crash.
10:21
The students then used the equipment to open the car
10:25
and safely remove two classmates from inside the vehicle. Other
10:28
first responders were also present to share their individual roles
10:32
when accidents happened. The training was provided to members of

for eleven am June sixtets, and Hernande's trapman said she
12:05
expected all discovery evidence to be turned over to Roman's

12:13
were released on their own reconnaissance and will not face
12:16

12:19
continue on the job. Included among those are no contact
12:23

retaliate against them. Any work instructions handed down from Pianora
12:31
or Brian must go through an immediate supervisor so that
12:35
Nelson County Sheriff's office can continue with day to day business. Quote.
12:40
I don't want any hostile comments, any out of the
12:43
ordinary scheduling they Nour said Thursday, We've got a sheriff's
12:47
office that has to function. End of quotes. Hernande's trapman
12:51
agreed with us, saying their office quote can figure it
12:54
out end of quote how to operate during this time.
12:58
Also at issue was whether Bryan, Brian, or Pianora to
13:01
be in contact with each other, either through the course
13:04
of their jobs or outside of the office. Quote they're
13:07
presumed innocent. Roman said they have to be able to
13:10
protect the citizens of Nelson County. The sheriff and chief
13:13
deputy have to be able to communicate. End of quote.
13:17
Niemus agreed, saying, quote, we absolutely object to that condition

end of quote. Of no contact between Pianora and Brian.
13:26
Spinauer instructed Pianorre and Brian to have no contact with
13:29
each other outside of work and no discussion of the
13:31
case unless their attorneys were present. Justice and Purdam filed
13:36
a verified complaint in February alleging they were retaliated against
13:40
after reporting Brian for allegedly breaking the law. Justice and
13:44
Purdam claim of the reports that Pianora pulled them off
13:48
the task force and prevented them from working overtime. Justice
13:52
and Purdam are now suing for damages, including lost wages.
13:56
The suit alleges Brian illegally sold three vehicles from a
14:00
joint Greater Hardened Counting Arcotics Task Force or GHCNTF and
14:06
Nelson County Evidence warehouse. These vehicles were awarded to the
14:10
Sheriff's office through drug forfeiture. The vehicles were sold privately
14:15
and not at a public auction as those we required
14:17
by law, and allegedly sold them for less than market value.
14:22
Justice states in the suit that he approached Brian Pianora,
14:25
his department evidence technician in his department CFO about the
14:29
illegal activity. Both Pianora and Brian are charged with selony
14:33
abuse of public trust more than ten thousand dollars built

14:40
selony counts of stuff by deception ten thousand dollars or more.

In addition, both men are charged with misdemeanor charges of
14:47
official misconduct and two charges of violating state whistleblower laws.
14:53
Brian also faces two additional selony charges of second degree forgery.
14:58
Hernandez Trautmann asked the judge to also restrict access to
15:02
evidence rooms and impound warehouses by Pianora and Brian, but
15:06
Romans and Niemans pushed back, saying they both need access
15:10
to the evidence room for other upcoming cases going to court. Quote,
15:14
they abused their power on the trust of the public,
15:17
Hernanda's Troutman encountered, citing worries about the integrity of evidence
15:21
in other cases. Niemen said that he was concerned that
15:25
Hernanda's Troutman was quote speculating on potential future conduct by
15:30
Pianora and Brian. Stain Our ruled that they would continue
15:34
to have access to the evidence room, but that they
15:36
would be restricted from accessing the impoundment warehouse. Hernandez Troutman
15:41
also requested that Pianora and Brian not have access to
15:45
their firearms outside of work duty, citing the potential her retaliations.
15:50
Steinauer denied this. Spainauer said she anticipated the trials would
