Contracts, bids and mowing are key items on the March 18 Barren County Fiscal Court agenda.
There are three contracts up for possible approval Tuesday morning. They include a contract with Deco Architects for the design of Park City’s amphitheater — a project which the county recently agreed to spearhead — a contract for the Agriculture Exposition Center and an official contract for the old health department building auction. The auctioneer’s bid was accepted at the March 4 fiscal court meeting.
The magistrates are also expected to “seek bids for proposed intersection improvement for Mt. Pleasant Road. At a Sept. 16 transportation committee meeting Barren County Judge-Executive Jamie Bewley Byrd discussed moving the Roseville Road intersection before the road is paved.
“The entrance of Mt. Pleasant Road is on top of this hill [where] you can’t see either way so we’re moving it because we’re going to pave it anyway,” Byrd said.
Barren County’s contribution of $10,000 a year is also set for approval for the mowing of Cave City’s interchange.
