Cindy Rich and John Whittle of Preserving Edmonson County INC spoke with the court during the April 22nd meeting.
Representatives of Preserving Edmonson County INC, a non-profit group dedicated to the beautification of Edmonson County came to Fiscal Court to seek approval of a resolution needed to obtain certain grants. After reviewing the resolution, County Attorney Greg Vincent advised the court that many aspects of the resolution should be rewritten to protect the county, due to the fact that the current resolution didn’t specify approval for grants or projects that would be associated to the Edmonson County’s name, along with other needed information about the non-profit.

​The Representatives of Edmonson County Pride thanked Vincent for his expertise and ensured the court that they want the resolution to be right. The non-profit will work with the County Attorney to create a resolution that protects the County while ensuring they have what they need in order to receive grants for their projects.  


The court also:

-Approve to hire part time dog control employee Sunshine Brewer at $9.00 per hour. 
-Approved to appoint Chris Stewart to Planning Commission, effective May 14, 2019 with term ending September 30, 2019. 
-Approve Resolution EC19-12, Jailer Duties and Compensation
