The Christian County Attorney’s office was once again recognized at this morning’s Fiscal Court meeting for being among the best in Kentucky for collecting child support.

State Commissioner of Child Support Steve Veno came to Hopkinsville to present Foster and his staff with an award for outstanding performance, saying it takes a team effort to be so successful.

Veno said it’s particularly difficult to collect child support at a successful level in a large populace county such as Christian with over four thousand yearly cases, making the local achievements all the more impressive.

Foster gave much of the credit to his staff and thanked the court system for taking child support collection seriously in Christian County.

In other action in the year’s final meeting, Fiscal Court approved several board and commission appointments and approved contracts with four electrical inspectors. Magistrates also adopted the state employee holiday schedule for the county employee calendar next year.
