\nMembers of Meade County Fiscal Court met during a special session Tuesday (7\/14) evening at the Meade County Public Library.<\/p>\n
The change of location for the regular business session was due to scheduled renovation work being conducted by Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts. The court heard a presentation from Jay Schmidt, Fort Knox Operational Maintenance Supervisor presenting the county with a opportunity to develop a interlocal support agreement program between the military base and county government that would provide local workers for jobs at Fort Knox. The county would bid on the job need and would be a contractor to the military base and use local vendors as a sub contractor to perform the work. The contract would be secured through a competitive bid process between neighboring counties and eligible contractors. If successful, the county would be responsible for additional administrative costs to enter the biding process, for the duration of the 10 year contract that could net a percentage of the $4 to $6 million a year. County leader took no action on the proposal after some discussion.<\/p>\n
Later in the meeting, magistrates heard a proposal from Charlie Waugh to partner with county for the installation of 2 electric vehicle recharging station for class 2 and 3 vehicles. The recharging station would be located on county owned property at Meade-Olin Park and in Otter Creek Park. Partnership would allow Waugh to apply for a MEVPAC grant and the county would have the electric vehicle infrastructure that would assist the county with applying for other federal and tourism grants. The term of the agreement would be five years on a 80-20 funding that would be provided by the federal and state funds with agreement to turn into a profit share between Waugh and the county. No action was taken on the proposal.<\/p>\n
