Elizabethtown City Council meets

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

The first reading was held on an ordinance that would extend Comcast’s non-exclusive franchise rights in the city for 15 years.

The council approved on second reading an ordinance that amends the zoning for 204 Jackie Street from future development holding to urban residential general (R-4). The change was recommended for approval by the city’s planning commission.

In other meeting news, Elizabethtown Mayor Jeff Gregory commended the response of the staff at Baptist Health Hardin to the armed gunman incident in the hospital’s emergency room Saturday, and called the response of the Elizabethtown Police Department “textbook.”

“Quite frankly, I wouldn’t trade our PD or our people that work at our PD with anybody anywhere, and I think that is just another reminder of what happened Saturday and why we’re so blessed to have the folks that we do down there at the PD,” Gregory said.

Gregory also announced that trick or treating in the city will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. on October 31. 

The Elizabethtown City Council will next meet October 28.
