The court also approved resolutions to set fees from most of the mentioned ordinances along with Electrical Inspections, and a resolution for the Deferred Compensation Plan Agreement for county employees.<\/p>\n
The court heard several comments related to the Heavy Industrial Ordinance once again as residents who live near the rock quarries in Battletown and Wolf Creek continue to seek assistance to hold the mining companies responsible for safe practices to protect personal property and safety of residents. Lawyers representing the quarries said they feel that the ordinance has an agenda against them but will also negatively impact other industries in the county as a result of the measure. After another in-depth discussion on the topic and at the recommendation of the County Attorney to go with the Planning & Zoning’s Land Use attorney’s recommendation, magistrates approved the ordinance.<\/p>\n

The pre-approved list will assist County Grant Writer Jordan Wilson to quickly work through the application process in order to meet deadlines for the specific grant requirements.<\/p>\n
