The Daviess County Fiscal Court held a meeting on June 11, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were addressed. The court approved budget transfers across multiple funds totaling several million dollars, a salary schedule incorporating a 2.7% cost-of-living adjustment, and various contracts including a $9,000 agreement with the Green River District Health Department for employee assessments and vaccinations. The court also authorized the county to serve as a grantee for a Kentucky Product Development Initiative grant, facilitating fund flow to the city of Owensboro without financial responsibility. Additionally, bids were awarded for picnic shelter construction projects at Yellow Creek Park and Panther Creek Park to KM Construction Services, with both projects noted to be under budget. The court approved a memorandum of agreement related to opioid harm reduction funds and ratified contracts managed through the sheriff's office. Policy discussions included adopting a moratorium on battery energy storage and wind energy conversion system applications to allow for regulatory review, and updating guidelines for accepting roads into the county road system. No new spending beyond approved budgets was reported, and no major policy changes affecting procurement vehicles were enacted.
