Fiscal Court Budget Committee has first meeting with new CJE 2019-02-26 - Adair County Courthouse Annex, Columbia, KY - Photo by Tiffany Kessler, columbiamagazine.com. It's that time of year again. The Adair County Fiscal Court budget committee met for the first time last night under new Judge Executive Gale Cowan. With the 2018-2019 fiscal year ending on June 30, it was time to tiptoe into the arduous task of developing initial financial plans for 2019-20. These type of meetings are set up so that elected officials and department heads can discuss needs and ideas with committee members. Jailer Joey White addressed the committee concerning his thoughts on the current and upcoming jail budget. Sheriff Josh Brockman (not pictured) spoke with the committee on the pressing need for proper vehicles in his department. Magistrates Greg Caldwell and Chris Reeder serve on this committee under the guidance of Judge Cowan and Adair County Treasurer Melinda Quinn. Quinn explained that during the 2018-19 fiscal year the county operated on a budget of just over $6.6 million and the same amount will be used to base the new budget on. Regular Fiscal Court meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 6pmCT in the basement of the Adair courthouse annex and are open to the public. - TK Permalink | Comments?
