Judge/Executive David Westerfield explained “the Transportation Cabinet is con-sidered a contractor with us.” He added the court needs to

apply with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, so the cabinet can be reimbursed for labor and equip-ment use.

The court approved.The next approval request

was between True North Emergency Management and Laurel County.

The court had hired the company to assist with paper-

work to make sure everything will be done correctly and in a timely manner, Westerfield said.

The court agreed to sign the contract with the company.

That was followed with an approval for a state emergency grant to counties to eliminate illegal open dumps, and dumps created by the tornado dam-age.

The first grant is to clean two open dumps that the state Environmental Protection Agency has approved to be cleaned up.

There is also a grant to allow the county to hire private peo-ple to go out and clean debris out of the trees, ravines and other places affected by the tornado, said Westerfield.

The court approved those

requests.It also approved agreements

between adjoining counties, local vendors and Laurel County for services during the tornado disaster.

Laurel County would reim-burse those counties for the work, use of vehicles and other items during the tornado situa-tion.

The court agreed.
