A street-legal-special-purpose-vehicle ordinance and payments headline the Barren County Fiscal Court’s agenda for June 3.
The seven county magistrates are expected to meet on June 3 at 9 a.m. both on Zoom and in-person in the fiscal courtroom chambers in the Barren County Government Center where they will conduct a first reading of ordinance relating to special-purpose vehicles that will become street legal on June 27 due to a state senate bill that became law in this most recent session.
As previously reported, the new law would allow certain types of vehicles — like all-terrain vehicles, utility terrain vehicles, minitrucks, “pneumatic-tired military vehicles” or “full-size special purpose-built vehicles” that meet the 16 requirements set forth in law — on county roads.
In order to be legal, municipalities need to adopt ordinances. The ordinance up for a first reading is based on one put out by the Kentucky Association of Counties. The one provide in advance does not have specifics.
The agenda also had several payments set for the magistrates’ approval, including a $13,361 Barren River Area Development District invoice for the county’s annual dues, a $38,521.44 invoice from the Glasgow Water Company for materials used on the State Quarry Road line extension and a $46,376 invoice from the Kentucky Auditor of Public Accounts for the 2024 audit.
