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 magistrates voted down a resolution concerning the sale of land near the Pearl Hollow landfill.
Hardin County Judge/Executive Ketih Taul said the resolution would have directed the county to pursue the sale of the property to the Kentucky Heritage Land Trust for $500,000. Taul said carveouts in the sold acreage would be made for the landfill, prime farmland, and nearby shooting range facilities.
“I propose that the net proceeds, which would be $500,000, would be used toward some needs that we have in emergency medical service equipment needs and/or county fire service needs in the future,” Taul said.
Several of the magistrates said they felt it was in the county’s best interest to hold onto the land for possible future opportunities. Fourth District Magistrate Fred Clem said decreasing the buffer zone around the landfill has negative impacts on the property.
“We’ve got a $250 million asset in that landfill, and I don’t think anyone that’s serving on this court should want to make a decision that could ultimately diminish the value of the landfill,” Clem said.
In other meeting news, Hardin County EMS Director Mark Peterson said crews made 1,363 responses in October. Hardin County E-911 Director Mike Leo said dispatchers answered 4,445 calls in October.
The Hardin County Fiscal Court will next meet December 9.
