Incoming: Whitley Fiscal Court opens county airspace to Santa for Christmas Eve

Date:

Santa Claus will soon be in town, and it should be smooth sailing once he arrives.

A resolution pertaining to the county’s airspace was unanimously approved last Tuesday during the Whitley County Fiscal Court’s regular monthly meeting, which will allow Santa to freely travel throughout the county as he makes his annual deliveries.

Judge-Executive Pat White, Jr., said that the fiscal court passes a similar resolution each year as a fun way to celebrate the holiday season

“There’s a special guy that likes to visit good boys and girls in Whitley County and the court took action to welcome him and authorize him to use airspace over the county on Christmas Eve night,” said White. “We sure hope that Santa Claus visits all the kids in Whitley County. We have some good kids in our area.”

White also wanted to make sure, on behalf of both himself and the fiscal court, to wish residents throughout the county a “Merry Christmas.”

In other fiscal court business:
– A resolution pertaining to the county’s emergency operations plan was approved. White said that an emergency plan is approved annually with various updates, as needed.

The plan is not public record due to the sensitive information that is detailed within it. If the plan were public record, it could pose some serious risks to the local community, according to White.
