Pulaski County Judge-Executive Steve Kelley discusses an insurance payment from a fire truck owned by the county but used by Somerset Fire Department through an interlocal agreement.
Debate over who should ultimately benefit from an insurance payout seems to foreshadow future negotiations between Somerset and Pulaski County over fire protection.
Last month Somerset City Council voted to replace a fire truck which had been totaled in an accident.
As it turned out, the wrecked truck had been purchased through an interlocal agreement with Pulaski County Fiscal Court which allows for fire coverage outside city limits.
As Tuesday s fiscal court meeting wound down, Pulaski County Judge-Executive Steve Kelley asked magistrates to consider turning over the $89,000 insurance payment they had received to the city so that it could be applied toward the purchase of a new truck that will be owned and insured by the city.
