  Speaker 1: making America stronger. Rogers stated in a press release that
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: appeared in the June eleventh edition of The Courier, That's
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: why I am proud to secure nearly three point four
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: million dollars in this bill to support Morgan County's first
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: responders and emergency operations. The proposed facility, for which Judge
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Gayzy had announced he was seeking funding during the previous
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Fiscal Court meetings, would replace the current EMS headquarters adjacent
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to the Lion manufacturing plan on Dogwood Lane. During the

• 13:04

  Speaker 1: Tommy Fannon, and Leroy Phipps. Judge Gayzy reported prior to
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the roll call that Magistrate Eric Palfrey was absent due
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: to illness and indicated that Magistrate Tyler Keaton would also
• 13:36

  Speaker 1: ARC grant resolution to the court with Morgan County EMS
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Director Raven Perry and other local EMS personnel in attendance.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: We submitted the paperwork and won. The funding, Gaysey said,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: is gone through the US Congress and US Senate and
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the ARC grant is going to pay for the rest
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: of the matching funds, So we will be out nothing
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: on this. We've just got to do the paperwork and
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: we'll get a new facility on our search and rescue
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: in EMS. This will also be a regional training center,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: which I believe the Kentucky State Police and a lot
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: and other a lot of first responders agencies are already
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: interested in using. Judge gay Ze also cited the poor
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: condition of the current EMS facility, an assessment with which
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: attending EMS personnel concern occurrent concerned pardon me. Magistrate Brandon
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Evans inquired as to where the facility would be located,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: and Judge gay Ze responded that it would be near
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the propos 's UK Saint Clair Clinic, which is set
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: to be built adjacent to the Morgan County Willness Center
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: through Judge Gayz, Though Judge gay Z recently discussed a
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: relocation plan for the clinic, initially announced in twenty twenty
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: three and slated to be built on property to be
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: donated by former Judge executive John Wills, Stacy and family
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: in various public settings. The revamped project has not been
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: officially announced by UK Saint Clair at prestime. During a
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: discussion of the clinic project at the July twenty twenty
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: five Fiscal Court meeting, Magistrate Eric Palfrey inquired if the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: property transition between Stacy and UK Saint Clair had been finalized,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: and Judge Gayse answered no. Following the the July twenty
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: twenty five Episcoal Court meeting, the Courier spoke with UK
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Saint Clair President and CEO Donald Lloyd Lloyd, who also
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: stated that the clinic project had been delayed by Saint
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Clair's twenty twenty four merger with UK Healthcare and that
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: that hospital officials had made no firm decision about the
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: facility's location at that time. Additionally, Lloyd confirmed to the
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Courier in July twenty twenty five the UK Saint Clair
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: officials were considering other potential sites for a clinic in
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Morgan County. Any updates on the UK Saint Clair clinic
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: project will be noted in the Courier as they become available.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Following Magistrate evans inquiry regarding the EMS facility location, he
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: asked if the project would be federally fun it's federal money,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Judge Gaysey confirmed. Even the state money that they are
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: going to give us will probably be federal money coming
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: through the state. All of this will be handled through
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Gateway Area Development District. Magistrate Evans i ask about the
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: total cost of the project, which Judge Gaysee stated would
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: be approximately four point one million dollars with federal moneys
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and additional state funds. This won't cost the county a penny.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Magistrate Evans asked, it is a four million dollar project,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and you know, and you know this is one hundred
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars that's going to be hard to cough up.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Judge Gaysey again stated that all funding would come through
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: federal and state sources. It's not going to cost the
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: county anything. Gayzy said, I wouldn't have signed onto this
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: if it did. I never want to go through something
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: like what we went through with that splash Pad Again.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Note splash Pad project was initiated in twenty twenty during
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the previous administration and required a two hundred and fifty
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars match from Fiscal Corps. The current administration was
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: unable to withdraw from the federal project agreement. Judge Gaizy
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: s Morgan County EMS Director Raven Perry if she wished
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: to make any comment on the EMS facility project. We
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: need a new building, Perry said. Magistrate Tammy Fannin concurred,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I agree with you there. Fannin said the building. That
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: building has been there for ages. Perry cited several structural
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: issues with the current EMS building, as well as traffic
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: issues for EMS personnel attempting to act asset pardon me
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: assess Highway four sixty from Dogwood Lane. Judge Gayzy indicated
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: that the State Highway Department plans to address visibility issues
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: at that intersection in the future. The state is going
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: to go through and extend that line of sight and
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: take that hill out, Gayzy said, So that's another project
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: that's coming, but we need to get EMS personnel off
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: that hill and then get over to where they've got
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: direct access to Route seven. Additionally, Judge Gayzy stated that
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the property for the current EMS headquarters was donated by Lion,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: which he said is in need of additional parking. We
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: would give that back to them, Gaysey said. Lion is
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: interested in hiring more people, so that would give them
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: the parking space to bring in more employees. It also
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: cap ems from having to deal with the congestion coming
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: off that hill. Magistrate Evans asks for further clarification of
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Gateway Area Developments District role in administering the funds. Gateway
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: will be handling the whole thing, Gaizy said. The money
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: will come through them, so we won't have to worry
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: about that, and we don't have to use coal severance money.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: It will be coming directly and Gateway will be collecting
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: and distributing the funds for us to use. Magistrate Fannin
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: asked Judge gay Zy about the status of the project.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: If for any reason, the anticipated federal funds are not allocated,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the project dies. Judge Gayzy responded, it goes away. I
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: did not sign anything stating that Morgan County would pay
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: for it. I ain't getting into that. If they can
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: produce the money, the project dies. Magistrate Evans indicated that
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: he wished to make motion on that matter. I'm going
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: to make a motion to approve the ARC grant application
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: on assumption that there's no risk to the county, Evans said,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: and that Magistrate Fannin stated that he would second that
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: motion under those circumstances. Judge Gayzy told Fiscal Court Laryn
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Robbins to note the above stated stipulation in the meeting
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: minutes ahead of the unanimous vote to approve the ARC
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: grant application resolution. County tax rate. In other news, Judge
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Gayz presented options for this year's county tax rate before
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: recommending the compensating rate of five point eight cents per
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: one hundred dollars of assessed value. The above listed rate
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: is the same as last year's. On a motion made
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: by Magistrate Evans and second dip by Magistrate Fannin, the
