Ethics Chairman Joe Myers gave an update on county ethics matters. Treasurer Shannon Greene presented both the monthly and year-end financial reports.

An executive session was held under Kentucky Revised Statute 61.810(1)(b), which permits closed deliberations related to the acquisition or sale of real estate when public discussion could affect the property’s value.
