94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
The Hardin County Fiscal Court met for their second meeting of the month Tuesday.
The fiscal court approved a resolution that amended the Hardin County Administrative Code. After an amendment to the resolution presented by Magistrate Chris Yates removed policies concerning take-home vehicles and social media, Magistrate Kenny Saltsman said the amendment only changed policy concerning the use of county facilities by for-profit businesses.
After the administrative code amendment was approved, Yates then reintroduced the policy changes for take-home vehicles and social media as a resolution amending the county’s personnel policies and procedures, which the court also approved. Hardin County Judge/Executive Keith Taul said the limits on take-home vehicles interfered with necessary work for county employees, and the social media policy restricts communication and interaction with county offices.
“These restrictions not only lack transparency, but are the opposite of transparency,” Taul said. “The opposite of communication.”
Magistrate Aaron Pennington said the social media policy change addresses concerns that have been previously raised, and said directing social media traffic to one page allows for more clear messaging.
“The other pages were created when we took office,” Pennington said. “They weren’t here under the previous administration. There’s a reason for that, and I brought to your attention some of the reasons why we don’t need to have a bunch of different pages. It’s not supervised efficiently by a bunch of different people in different departments. We have a person for this reason, and it makes sense for that person to be in charge of social media in general.”
In other meeting news, the first reading of an amendment to the county’s ethics ordinance was held. The Hardin County Coroner’s Office responded to 181 cases in April and May, and the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office made 181 arrests, issued 301 citations, and served 160 warrants in those two months.
The Hardin County Fiscal Court will next meet July 8.
