Adair County Sheriff Harrison Moss with one of two new 2017 Ford Interceptor SUV the ACSO took delivery of today, Thursday, October 13, 2016, at Crossroads Ford & Lincoln in Frankfort. The vehicles cost $37,252. each, with special police equipment and markings. They were purchased off the state contract and did not have to be bid. Sheriff Moss is in his sixth year in office, and these are the first new vehicles the department has had.

Adair County CJE Mike Stephens presides at 11 Oct 2016 meeting 2016-10-13 - Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com (c). Adair County Judge Executive Michael Lee Stephens presided at the brief regular session of the Adair Fiscal Court, Tuesday, 11 October 2016. It was a short, fast paced meeting, which Mr. Stephens predicted would be over in 38 minutes and was officially clocked by Session Recorder Gale Cowan as 37 minutes. The full court was present except for Second District Magistrate Daryl Flatt. Judge Stephens and the court were unanimous on all but one decision. His recommendation that the court approve a $2,000 increase in the interlocal agreement to fund the Green River Commerce Park sewer project failed for lack of a motion. Fortunately for the much needed infrastructure project, the other three partners funding the sewer expansion say the project will move forward, despite Fiscal Court's non-action. - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
