Knox county fiscal court

Welcome to the First Frontier...Knox County Kentucky

J.M. Hall

First Term

The title "County Judge/Executive" is a blending of the past and the present, going back to the time when the person elected to this position also presided over judicial proceedings. Although those responsibilities were transferred to Kentucky's court system in 1978, the title remained. As chief executive officer for the County, the Judge/Executive presides over both the legislative and executive branches of County government.  The Judge/Executive also prepares and administers the county budget, performs weddings, appoints with Fiscal Court approval, all members to various boards and committees.  In addition, the Judge/Executive has the authority to appoint, supervise, suspend, and remove county personnel, with fiscal court approval, unless state law provides otherwise.
