Columbia/Adair Dog Warden Jimmy Harmon 2011-09-14 - Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener. Columbia/Adair County Dog Warden Jimmy Harmon always gets accolades and most of his requests when he appears before the Adair Fiscal Court, and last night, Tuesday, September 13, 2011, was not different. The court agreed to allow him more leeway on gas for the 10 mpg F-350 County Truck he's driving, and in the same vote, established a two magistrate committee headed by Daryl Flatt (2) to look for a Ford Ranger pickup with mileage in the tripled range, equip the new vehicle with a different dog box, to save money on stray animal pickups. Harmon is employed by both the city and county. Most of his work, he said last night, is outside the limits of Columbia. When Harmon answers calls, his roundups often result in the capture of 6-8 dogs onboard at a time, to be lodged at the Adair County operated Green River Animal Shelter.

Synchronized Scrutiny: Studying proposed nuisance law 2011-09-14 - Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. County Attorney Jennnifer Hutchison-Corbin studied specifics in an ordinance CJE Ann Melton urged the Adair Fiscal Court to consider. The ordinance model has been enacted in Madison County, KY, to control the huge national problem - and a growing one in Adair County - of neglected houses which banks have repossessed and neglect to maintain. In many cases, the banks are offering the properties at prices far above current market values to make their balance sheets look good. No action was taken last night, but the magistrates are expected to take another look at the proposal. At right, forward, is Magistrate Billy Rowe (District 7) and Joe Rogers (District 6).
