Trigg County Fiscal Court closed its 2024-25 campaign Monday evening, buttoning up what’s been — at times — a challenging stretch of costs and efficiency tested by inclement weather.
The good news, however, came from Trigg County Sheriff’s Office liaison Faye Godair, when she announced that Sheriff Aaron Acree and his deputies collected more than $11.4 million in assessed taxes last year, through more than 17,000 tax bills.
Of those, she said, only $203,989.39 remains unpaid and delinquent as of this pay period, meaning less than 2% is still outstanding in the community.
Godair called it a “great tax year” for Trigg County.
In other court news:
— As part of the county’s annual closeout, several important allocations were made to non-profits in Cadiz. This included $2,000 to Camp Cadiz (which begins next week), $2,000 to Genesis Express, $2,000 to Helping Hands, $2,000 to The Way Christian Youth Center and $2,000 to Simple Blessings.
— Magistrates did approve for a change in Health Insurance coverage of full-time county employees, in which they will be provided with a health insurance plan offering single coverage up to $800. This is an increase from $700.
— Judge-Executive Stan Humphries also gave an update on several fronts, noting that construction on the Trigg County Recreation Complex concession stand is progressing well, and that he is still seeking advice and guidance from Land Between the Lakes officials on special-purpose vehicles before drawing up language on any possible amendment of Senate Bill 63.
