Magisterial districts could soon change, after Census results revealed that the Taylor County population is growing.

District boundaries will be examined next month, Taylor County Judge/Executive Eddie Rogers told Fiscal Court members at its regular meeting last Tuesday, based on data from the 2010 Census.

Taylor County was home to 24,512 people on April 1, 2010, according to 2010 Census figures, which is a gain of 1,585 from the 2000 Census.

Rogers said three residents will need to serve on a re-districting committee.

It's the City Council's move.

Magistrates have offered to take over operation of either Campbellsville/Taylor County Rescue or Campbellsville/Taylor County E-911.

For more than a month now, Campbellsville City Council and Taylor Fiscal Court have made repeated motions regarding rescue and E-911 funding.

At Tuesday's regular Fiscal Court meeting, magistrates made the latest move by saying they believe the best solution is for each entity to be responsible for one of the services and for the two to stop sharing money.

Campbellsville Mayor Tony Young says there are only two options to solving the issue of funding for rescue and E-911 services.

In a statement released Friday, Young stated that one of those options is for the city to continue operating Rescue and E-911, with financial support from the county.

"I propose the county's support of Rescue to be $450,000. The current city budget would have to be reduced by $200,000," he wrote. "I will take that responsibility and allow that financial relief be given to the county."

Magistrates have proposed that the County take over operation of local E-911 service and the City of Campbellsville operate countywide rescue services.

Taylor Fiscal Court met Monday night to discuss its response to a letter from Campbellsville Mayor Tony Young asking that the County renew its two-year agreement to pay $650,000 a year to the City for operating Rescue and E-911.
