Kentucky counties are governed by a "fiscal court" — the constitutional name for the county's combined legislative and executive body — made up of a county judge/executive (elected countywide, presides over the court, and carries out day-to-day chief-executive duties like budget preparation and contract execution) plus several magistrates or commissioners elected by district. Structurally, this is the same small-combined-board family used as the baseline nationally, just under a distinctive local name. For a public meeting or records request, contact the fiscal court or county judge-executive's office, or the county clerk.
