The Elizabethtown City Council met for their second meeting of the month Monday.

The council approved two ordinances that were on their second readings. The first amended the zoning for 1151 Ring Road from Neighborhood Commercial (C-2) to Regional Commercial (C-3). The second amended the city’s 2024-2025 budget ordinance to include a change in pay classifications for the city’s fire department.

A municipal order was approved that awarded a contract to 5253 Design Group for professional design services on the Elizabethtown Police Station expansion project.

“These professional services shall include programming the project, design plans for the facility and site, a cost opinion, schematic plans, architectural design plans, contract bid documents, and construction administration,” said City Attorney Ken Howard reading from the order. 

The contract was awarded at an amount not to exceed $350,000.

Elizabethtown resident Steve Swan asked the council for an update on resident concerns with traffic control in the Bewley Hollow/Pine Valley Drive area. Elizabethtown Mayor Jeff Gregory said speed radar signs were placed in the neighborhood to collect traffic data, and Public Works Superintendent Don Hill said the traffic study showed an average of 3,400 vehicles using Pine Valley Drive each day, with an average speed of 36.6 miles per hour and an average violation speed of about 40.8 miles per hour, so additional measures will be taken to slow traffic.

“What we’re going to do on Pine Valley Drive is prior to St. Andrews, and there’s a 25 miles per hour sign at that intersection, we’re going to go up Pine Valley Drive and put a warning sign that says reduce speed ahead, then when we get past the intersection of St. Andrews Way before Kensington, we’re going to set a speed hump,” Hill said.

The Elizabethtown City Council will next meet July 22.
