Office of the Judge-Executive
Shelby County Fiscal Court
News Release
December 22, 2010
Fiscal Court Recognizes Outgoing Magistrates
SHELBYVILLE, KY.
Tuesday’s Shelby County Fiscal Court meeting marked an
end for two of Shelby County’s most renowned political
figures. Cordell “Cordy” Armstrong and Betty Curtsinger
reflected on their time on Fiscal Court and the changes
that have taken place throughout Shelby County during
their tenure.
Armstrong served as
District 4 magistrate for 25 years and witnessed
firsthand the turnover of elected officials over the
past 3 decades. “During my time as Magistrate, I’ve
served with three county attorneys, two county
judge-executives, 14 magistrates, and one county clerk,”
Armstrong reflected during Tuesday’s
meeting.
Armstrong acknowledged
that one of the most significant
accomplishments
that he and the court have made would be the paving of
all county roads. He stated that when he first took
office, gravel roads were commonplace and recalls the
Road Department utilizing the chip and seal method, a
far less efficient way of maintaining roadway
surfaces.
Curtsinger who served
as magistrate for District 5 for 3 consecutive terms was
the first female elected as magistrate on the Shelby
County Fiscal Court. Curtsinger
in her address to the court and audience recognized the
importance and contributions of all the county employees
that served and have been role models in their
profession.
Curtsinger was
instrumental in the drafting and passage of Shelby
County’s adult entertainment ordinance, restricting
location of such establishments, and codification of all
county ordinances, making them accessible to all
citizen’s of the county.
Shelby County
Judge-Executive Rob Rothenburger praised the efforts,
contributions, and leadership of both Armstrong and
Curtsinger during the fiscal court meeting. “Both Betty
and Cordy have the utmost integrity and respect from the
citizens and their
fellow colleagues on
fiscal court. Shelby County has definitely benefited
from their presence… They will be missed.”
The 2011 – 2014 fiscal
court members will be sworn into office on January 2nd,
2011 at 1:00 p.m. at the Shelby County Courthouse in the
Circuit Court room. The public is invited.
