Tuesday’s special called meeting of the Adair County Fiscal Court gave a financial glimpse into the 2019-2020 county budget. The almost 90 minute meeting was considered special session due to the time change which allowed members to attend the Columbia-Adair Chamber of Commerce banquet held at 6pmCT. All Adair County magistrates were present at the May 14, 2019 meeting: Chris Reeder (District 4), Sammy Baker (3), Daryl Flatt (2), Harold Burton (1), Billy Coffey (5), Greg Caldwell (6), Terry Hadley (7) in addition to County Judge Executive Gale Cowan, Court Clerk Bridget Compton and County Attorney Jennifer Hutchison-Corbin. Meetings are open to the public. Comments | Permalink FFA Officer team with their Outstanding Educator of the Year
