County Government Leaders Set to Meet Friday to Discuss Sheriff Department Pay

Henderson County Fiscal Court will hold a work session on Friday, December 18, 2020 beginning at 2:00 pm.

The focus of this work session will be to review a proposal by Sheriff Ed Brady to adjust the compensation of his road deputies and detectives to help with retention and recruitment.

Per KY Attorney General Opinion 20-05, public attendance will not be permitted at this meeting because, due to the highly contagious nature of COVID-19, it is not feasible for the County to maintain order and abide by recommended and mandated precautions while providing a central physical location for public viewing. The reasons why a public viewing is not feasible at this time include:

Gov. Beshear’s declared state of emergency outlined in executive order 2020-215.

Gov. Beshear’s March 12, 2020 Memo recommending all state boards and commissions employ video teleconferencing.

Senate Bill 150, which was signed into law by the Governor, on March 30, 2020, that allows all public agencies to conduct meetings by video or audio teleconference.

The meeting will be broadcast Live on Facebook at the Henderson County Government page and the public may ask questions using the comment section on Facebook. (https://www.facebook.com/180323669043402/live/).
