About seventy five people attended the regular meeting of Meade County Fiscal Court Monday night to spectate the latest conversation related to the proposed nuisance and abandoned property ordinances.
County leaders are evaluating the public input related to both ordinances to craft a workable ordinance which be enforced in case by case situations where true nuisances occur in the county. Judge Executive Gerry Lynn began the conversation recapping the general thought of the outcome a work session held on January 27.
The consensus of the magistrates who commented on the issue feel that the issue is a confusion of between the two different ordinances which have separate meanings but are yet similar. County leaders believe that there is need where something needs to be done, but they are seeking a remedy that is workable for needs of the public.
After about 30 minutes the issue remained on the table as county leaders looks to work with the public on the individual ordinances.
In other business, the court approved access roads and approaches for the Kentucky 313 Extension project except for three which are a private accesses.
