In 1978,
the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky enacted KRS
68.005, for the purpose of promoting efficient administration of
county government. This statute requires the Fiscal Court
to adopt a county administrative code which includes, but is not
limited to, procedures and designation of responsibility for the
following: |
|
|
|
(1)
General administration of the office of County Judge/Executive,
county Administrative
agencies and public authorities; |
|
|
| (2)
Administration of county fiscal affairs, including budget
formulation; receipt and disbursement of county funds,
preparation of records required for the county audit, and for
filing of claims against the county; |
| |
| (3)
Personnel administration, including description and
classification of non-elected positions, selection, assignment,
supervision and discipline of employees, employee complaints and
the county affirmative action program; |
| |
| (4)
County purchasing and award of contracts; |
| |
| (5)
Delivery of county services. |
| |
| The
Judge/Executive, as the chief executive officer of the county,
is responsible for the organization and management of the
administrative functions of county government. The Fiscal
Court sets the county’s policies and priorities. The
Judge/Executive must execute these policies and priorities.
The statute provides only general guidance as to the form and
substance of a county’s internal administrative organization.
For this reason, the Fiscal Court of Christian County
establishes a County Administrative Code. |
