The court. Judge/Executive Tim Hutchins (502-348-1800) and Magistrates Keith Metcalfe (District 1), Adam Wheatley (District 2), M.T. Harned (District 3), Jeff Lear (District 4) and Jon Snow (District 5), at One Court Square, Second Floor, Bardstown; the court meets the first and third Tuesdays. The Fiscal Court Minutes page posts the minutes as image scans; the 22 posted for September 16, 2025 through August 4, 2026 were read by OCR. The veteran items: - March 3, 2026, public comment: "Frank Thompson spoke to the Court about using a County owned building for the use of a Veteran Information Center. The building is located near the Veteran Park. Judge Hutchins said the Court would have more discussion later." His letter, a Veterans Connect Center proposal attached under the heading "VETERANS CONNECT CENTER": the old barber shop the county owns is too small for any other business, so "I recommend the county finish the inside and turn it into a Veterans information center", staffed by the county's veterans organizations; "With it being in the closeness to the new county Veterans park it would be an asset for all Veterans". No later posted minute takes it up. - April 7, 2026: "Judge Hutchins asks everyone to join in a moment of silence in honor of Technical Sergeant Ashley B. (Young) Pruitt", and entered the joint city-county statement on her arrival at the airport on April 9, the procession east on Highway 62 to Bardstown "expected to include Ashley's family, 300-500 motorcycles, military vehicles, and first responders", the public visitation of April 10 and the funeral and interment of April 11, 2026. - July 21, 2026, the County Finance Officer's announcements: "Technical Sergeant Ashley B. Young Pruitt Memorial Highway Dedication: The Dedication Ceremony will be held on Saturday, September 26, 2026 at 10:00 am at the Veterans Park. The Memorial Highway Designation will extend along Kentucky Highway 523 (Deatsville Road) from mile point 2.4 to T-Hahn Road at mile point 2.8." No veteran benefit was adopted, narrowed or repealed in the minutes read; the record is the county's honor of its fallen airman and a veterans center still under discussion.
