# Letcher County Fiscal Court October 19, 2026

The Letcher County Fiscal Court meeting on October 19, 2026, addressed road and infrastructure work, grant-funded projects, and agreements affecting county roads. The rural and secondary roads representative described limited paving allocations and planned maintenance, with several hazardous road and culvert problems raised by magistrates. Spring Branch bridge work was reported complete, with Dody Creek and Bill Lewis bridge work upcoming. A bid process was reported underway for the Log Gilliham project, and grant funding had been released for the MCHC healthcare training and development center. The court approved creating a separate account to track funds for the MCHC sewer-line extension; the amount was estimated at approximately $2.5–$2.7 million. An ERC Assist scoring committee for the Yolo Park stream-design project was also approved, with evaluation by a committee rather than selection solely by low bid.

The court discussed a new MOU involving an additional $50,000 for animal treatments; a motion and second were recorded, though the transcript does not clearly capture a final vote. For a logging company’s use of Southeast Road, the court voted to obtain a more precise repair-cost estimate to determine an appropriate performance bond; the amount and agreement remain unresolved. A $10,450 Main Street paving bill was added to the bills for payment, but the transcript does not clearly record the final vote on the bills. No vendor award was identified for the Log Gilliham bid process.
