    Campbell County Fiscal Court: 6/17/26

    At its June 17, 2026 meeting, the Campbell County Fiscal Court approved routine business including the minutes from the June 3 meeting and opened with a special recognition of Officer Samuel Broomhall of the Campbell County Police Department, who received the Outstanding Achievement Award for lifesaving actions taken on April 26, 2026. According to the presentation, Officer Broomhall responded to a reported stabbing and shooting victim suffering from severe traumatic injuries and severe blood loss. Drawing on his EMT training, he applied a tourniquet, bandages, and direct pressure before EMS arrived and continued assisting medical personnel, with county officials recognizing his composure, training, and actions as directly contributing to the patient’s survival. In legislative business, Fiscal Court approved the Fiscal Year 2026–27 county budget ordinance on second reading, formally adopting the annual spending plan following minor presentation-related revisions requested by the Department for Local Government that did not change appropriations. Council also received the first reading of Ordinance 006-26, which would amend county traffic schedules to add a stop sign at the intersection of Clay Ridge and Kissam Road, converting the location into a three-way stop to improve traffic safety based on recommendations from Public Works. Personnel actions included approval of Fiscal Year 2027 employee pay rates for non-union employees and employees covered by AFSCME and FOP agreements, authorization of updates to the county’s position list, appointment of Benjamin Doyle as a seasonal facilities maintenance, parks, and golf employee effective June 18, and appointment of Trask McFarland as Digital Media Specialist in the Administration Department effective June 22. Fiscal Court also accepted the resignation of Road Maintenance Specialist Joseph Whaley and authorized staff to advertise and fill the resulting vacancy. Following an executive session for discussion of pending or proposed litigation, the court approved an amendment establishing a guaranteed maximum price agreement related to spoil management. Additional financial and operational approvals included declaring surplus county property for disposal and donation, including retired detention center RFID equipment and surplus Motorola radios to Owsley County Emergency Management. Fiscal Court approved implementation of a new Tracer Fire online reporting system for Emergency Management and the Campbell County Lancers Volunteer Team at an annual cost of $22,750, authorized purchase of five Dell PowerEdge servers for county and police operations at an estimated $117,872.70, accepted a Morton Salt bid of $127 per ton for road salt purchases, and awarded a $658,917 street replacement contract to Humphrey Concrete for improvements on Mallard Drive and Labrador Lane. Commissioners also highlighted community events including Newport’s Italian Fest, welcomed the opening of Publix in Campbell County, announced a special Fiscal Court meeting on June 30 at 11:00 a.m. with cancellation of the regular July 1 meeting, and promoted an upcoming Movie Night in the Park at AJ Jolly Park.

    SPECIAL Campbell County Board of Adjustment: 6/23/26

    At its June 23, 2026 meeting, the Campbell County Board of Adjustment approved the minutes from its April 21 meeting and conducted public hearings on four land use cases involving nonconforming use changes and conditional use permits. The board first approved Case BA-26007 for DCH Properties at 16 East Walnut Street in Southgate, authorizing a change from one legal nonconforming use to another by converting a mixed-use property—previously used as a tax office with an upstairs residence—into a two-unit residential use. Staff concluded the change would reduce traffic impacts, better align with surrounding residential uses, and more closely match the city’s comprehensive plan and zoning intent. Board members noted the approval applies only to the property and not the owner and must be implemented within one year.  The board then reviewed multiple conditional use permit requests for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in unincorporated county areas. One request at 8645 Washington Trace Road proposed constructing an accessory dwelling unit on a 6.27-acre agricultural parcel, replacing a former barn location behind the existing residence. Staff determined the proposal met zoning requirements related to lot size, shared access, parking, and unit limitations and recommended approval with conditions prohibiting use as a business or rental property. Another ADU request generated discussion about placement on a flag lot and compatibility with neighboring homes, leading the board to approve the permit with an additional condition requiring the structure to remain at least 50 feet from the east property line, beyond standard setback requirements, to reduce neighborhood impacts.  The final public hearing considered Case BA-26010 for a conditional use permit to establish a family cemetery at 451 Moon Road on approximately 10 acres of agricultural land. Board members discussed cemetery regulations, potential future structures such as mausoleums, maintenance requirements, fencing, and how state cemetery rules may apply differently to private family cemeteries versus public burial grounds. Staff noted that such requests are uncommon and explained that the zoning ordinance contains limited cemetery-specific standards beyond the conditional use process itself. Following completion of the agenda, staff advised members that a special July meeting may be needed depending on case filings and discussed scheduling adjustments to maintain quorum availability before the meeting adjourned.  Disclaimer: This summary was generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence based on the meeting transcript and may not capture every discussion, motion, or detail contained in the official meeting record.

    Campbell County Planning & Zoning: 5/12/26

    At the May 12, 2026 meeting of the Campbell County and Municipal Planning and Zoning Commission, commissioners approved zoning text amendments related to qualified manufactured homes in order to bring local regulations into compliance with recent Kentucky state law changes taking effect July 1. The meeting opened with approval of the April 14 meeting minutes before commissioners moved into the sole item of new business, Case 26021, submitted by the Campbell County Planning Director. Staff explained that the amendments primarily update terminology throughout the zoning ordinance to clearly distinguish between mobile homes, manufactured homes, modular homes, and qualified manufactured homes. Commissioners discussed how qualified manufactured homes must meet specific architectural and construction standards — including permanent foundations, minimum width and square footage requirements, roof pitch standards, and exterior finish requirements — allowing them to be regulated the same as traditional single-family homes. Much of the discussion focused on the differences between older mobile homes, post-1976 manufactured homes, and newer qualified manufactured homes. Planning staff noted that qualified manufactured homes can now be permitted in residential zoning districts by right if they meet state standards, while older mobile homes remain restricted primarily to mobile home park zones. Commissioners reviewed proposed edits to Sections 7, 9, and 10 of the zoning ordinance, including updated definitions and permitted use language. One amendment was suggested during the meeting to clarify wording in Section 10 regarding manufactured homes and qualified manufactured homes in mobile home park zones. Commissioners also viewed examples of newer manufactured home developments near Zig Zag Road in Florence to illustrate how modern qualified manufactured homes can resemble conventional single-family residences through improved design features such as front porches, block foundations, sidewalks, and upgraded exterior appearances. Staff emphasized that the amendments are intended to expand affordable housing opportunities while maintaining neighborhood aesthetics and consistency with state law. No members of the public attended or submitted comments on the case. Following discussion, the commission unanimously voted to recommend approval of the amended zoning text changes to Campbell County Fiscal Court. The meeting concluded with brief discussion about potential summer meeting schedules and commissioner availability before adjournment.

    Campbell County Fiscal Court: 5/6/26

    The Campbell County Fiscal Court meeting on May 6, 2026, opened with a moment of silence, the Pledge of Allegiance, roll call, and approval of the April 15 meeting minutes. The court issued proclamations recognizing National Public Works Week and Soil and Water Stewardship Week, while also honoring Fred Mackey Jr. for nearly three decades of leadership with the Campbell County Economic Progress Authority and his contributions to major county projects, including the county administration building, industrial park development, and the public safety complex. Representatives from the Campbell County Conservation District also presented updates on conservation initiatives, including backyard conservation grants, agricultural cost-share programs, a county seed library partnership, wetland preservation efforts, and the annual Backroads Farm Tour.  During new business, the court held first readings for ordinances updating the county-maintained road list and rezoning approximately eight acres on Moreland Road from mixed residential, commercial, and industrial zoning to residential R-3. The court approved fiscal year 2027 funding for the County Attorney’s Office and authorized a new employee fertility benefits agreement through Carrot Fertility for eligible county and detention center employees. Personnel actions included appointing Kimberly Phillips as full-time housing director, authorizing recruitment for a housing inspector position, appointing Jeffrey Goshen as a part-time OEM response officer, appointing J.R. Staal to the Board of Assessment Appeals, and reappointing Brian Ellerman to the TANK Board of Directors.  The finance director’s report included approval of a Microsoft software licensing agreement costing approximately $72,458, purchase of a new inmate transportation van for the detention center at a cost of roughly $107,440, budget transfers, interfund transfers, and payment of claims. The county administrator also announced acceptance of a $3.5 million bid for reconstruction of the A.J. Jolly Lake spillway, part of a long-term project involving lowering the lake, dredging accumulated sediment, and making infrastructure improvements while portions of the park remain limited during construction. Additional reports included appreciation for county poll workers ahead of the primary election, announcements regarding the county’s spring cleanup event, and promotion of upcoming community events tied to America’s 250th anniversary celebration. The meeting concluded with adjournment following approval of all remaining agenda items.

    Campbell County Fiscal Court: 4/15/26

    The Campbell County Fiscal Court meeting on April 15, 2026, opened with a moment of silence, the Pledge of Allegiance, and roll call confirming a quorum. The court approved the April 1 meeting minutes before moving into new business, where several resolutions were adopted. These included opting into a national opioid litigation settlement involving six remaining defendants, allocating fiscal year 2027 payroll tax funds for senior citizens programs and for mental health and intellectual disabilities services, and renewing a contract with Fares J. Radel Funeral Homes for burial and cremation services. Personnel actions included accepting the resignation of OEM Response Officer John Michael Ward, authorizing recruitment to fill the vacancy, appointing several seasonal parks and golf course employees for the 2026 season, and appointing Claire Healy to the Campbell County Board of Assessment Appeals.  During the finance director’s report, the court approved a series of additional resolutions and motions, including requesting state reimbursement of approximately $423,745 for transportation of non-public school students, declaring certain county property as surplus for disposal, and approving contracts for trash disposal and expanded recycling services at county sites. The court also approved a change order for a Steffen Road infrastructure project due to unexpected underground utilities, authorized bidding for road department materials for fiscal year 2027, and approved budget transfers and claims for early April.

    Campbell County Planning & Zoning: 4/14/26

    The Campbell County Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on April 14, 2026, opened with the Pledge of Allegiance, roll call confirming a quorum, and approval of the February 10 and March 10 meeting minutes. The commission then heard multiple cases, beginning with a request from Sean Foster for a waiver to allow a third flag lot and approval of a preliminary plat for a six-lot subdivision on Pleasant Ridge Road. Staff recommended approval, noting the lot met dimensional requirements but exceeded the typical number of flag lots. Despite written opposition from nearby residents citing safety, access, and neighborhood character concerns, the commission approved both the waiver and preliminary plat after determining the site’s topography justified the design and that it would not harm public welfare. The commission next considered a zoning text amendment requested by the City of Southgate to regulate vape shops. Staff proposed defining electronic smoking retail stores and allowing them only as conditional uses in commercial zones, with restrictions such as distance requirements from schools and other vape shops, limits on minors, and operating hours. After discussion, the commission modified the proposal by lowering the threshold defining such stores from 85% to 70% of gross sales and adding additional language regarding youth-focused locations. With these revisions, the commission voted to recommend approval of the text amendment to the Southgate City Council. The final major case involved a request by Hillside Ventures, LLC for a zone map amendment and stage one development plan approval for the proposed Spilman Multifamily Apartments, a 60-unit development on Moreland Road. Staff recommended approval, citing consistency with the comprehensive plan’s goal of expanding housing options, while also outlining required infrastructure improvements, including road widening and sewer extensions funded by the developer. The applicant emphasized the project’s alignment with housing needs and infrastructure investment, but several residents strongly opposed the development, raising concerns about traffic congestion on U.S. 27, inadequate infrastructure, environmental impacts, property value decline, and neighborhood character. The commission engaged in detailed discussion with both staff and the applicant regarding these issues before proceeding with deliberation and action on the request.
