Trigg County magistrates Monday evening unanimously approved for County Attorney Randy Braboy to begin his research and development on how to properly annex Frye Road into the county map.
Judge-Executive Hollis Alexander noted that it’s an ongoing affair that the Frye family would like to see settled in their favor, sooner rather than later.
The court was presented a letter dated November 29 and addressed to the fiscal court, the Frye family notes that:
There are six Trigg County residents who all have drivers licenses living on Frye Road, and that annexing it would alleviate the “long-time burden” that both Frye residences have been shouldering during the entirety of their stay at these properties.
Easements and right of way on deeds clearly indicate that both Jesse and Marcus Frye have “authority to maintain” and improve any portion of road covered by easement.
And that these properties have long been owned by the Frye family, beginning with the 1981 auction purchase from the Stanley Stephens family, and that this road was originally established back in the 1940s in order to help tend with livestock and acreage.
Furthermore, the road earned its name with the county established its 911 service, and it was listed on the county map for public access. However, the Frye family attests it has had to maintain this quarter-mile stretch without county or public assistance.
Alexander described the holdup comes from another property owner.
Braboy’s property research begins immediately.
Concerned citizen Lisa Champion addressed the court on two specific issues Monday evening: the personal use of county vehicles, and the perceived management of the county’s social media.
Champion said there was one magistrate in the room, unnamed, who’d already tightened the county vehicle conundrum.
Champion’s other concern: that county officials had drawn attention to the Trigg County Sheriff’s Office Christmas toy drive, but not to County Clerk Carmen Finley’s Angel Tree presentation.
This particularly drew the ire of County Treasurer Lucy Oliver Kyler, who as the purveyor of the county’s social media said it was “an oversight” on her part, and that she’d shared Finley’s efforts on personal accounts.
Tension was palpable.
Magistrate Mike Wright said that if weather serves, the Trigg County Recreation Complex and its new disc golf course will have a ribbon cutting at 10 AM this Saturday.
Alexander also said that Santa Claus left each magistrate a package of sausage in the fridge, to which Mike Lane happily obliged.
Alexander said that all new county elected officials will be sworn in at 10 AM December 27 at the Trigg County Circuit Court Room, courtesy of Honorable Judge Jamus Redd.
