Members of Meade County Fiscal Court met during a short special called meeting Thursday (7/22) evening which featured only two agenda items.
Magistrates approved the recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission’s decision to approve a level three solar energy system permit for Community Energy, which is the planning to develop a solar farm between Big Spring and Stith Valley. Magistrates voted 5 to 1 in favor the recommendation. The action will allow Community Energy to pursue state approval for their solar project.
Magistrates also revisited bid for an architect design of a renovation projects for the E911 Center and the Detention Center. The acted upon the advice of County Attorney Jessica Roberts, who advised the Fiscal Court to accept the single bid From Prodigy Construction, which was publicly opened and read in their meeting on July 20. The cost of services was revealed during the discussion, which would provide a conflict if other bids were sought.
