\nMeade County Fiscal Court worked through a shorter agenda during their regular meeting Tuesday (7\/8) evening.<\/p>\n

During the public session, Steve Straney, a representative of the Meade County History Museum, asked county leaders to continue their assistance for the museum. He said the county currently provides approximately $20,000 annually that is used for rent and to cover basic operational needs of the facility. Straney said the current lease ends in September. He asked the court to provide a county representative to assist with the negotiation of the new lease or possibly explore the possibility to purchase the former library site, since county tax dollars were involved. Judge Executive Troy Kok asked Straney to provide specific information related to current and possible rate increases along with other expenses to allow the county to review the request.<\/p>\n
