Frank House with the Butler County Stop the Landfill, LLC

Butler County Fiscal Court met in regular session on Monday, August 26, with all magistrates - Stevie Givens, Kevin Phelps, Timmy Givens, David Whittinghill and Dillon Bryant - in attendance.

Bobbi Steelman with the South Central Workforce Development Board and Tara McMillin, Class D Coordinator for the Butler County Jail, presented the memorandum of understanding partner affiliate agreement to the court. They also spoke about the new program to be implemented at the jail to help inmates to re-enter their community successfully. The Butler County Betterment Program will pair community volunteers with inmates for support in the transition process.

 

Frank House, with Butler County Stop the Landfill, LLC, spoke to the court concerning the group's need for funding. The group has commissioned Dr. Groves of Crawford Hydrology Labs to conduct scientific studies on the landfill site. Judge-Executive Tim Flener said he would like to meet with Dr. Groves and ask some questions first. House said he would arrange a meeting. No action was taken on the funding request.

The court voted 4-1 to approve the reappointment of Debbie Worley, Chad Johnson, and Teresa Johnson to the Butler County Ambulance Board. Third District Magistrate, Timmy Givens voted nay, stating that he thought the court should appoint new members and not keep the ones the old court approved.
