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

The first reading was held on ordinances to annex property at Leitchfield Road and to rezone 106 East Memorial Drive from Neighborhood Office (C-1) to Neighborhood Commercial (C-2) and 237 West Poplar Street from Urban Residential (R-4) to Downtown Mixed Use (C-5).

The council approved the reappointments of Corey Blount and Rick Horn to the Civil Service Board, and Elizabethtown Mayor Jeff Gregory discussed the reappointments of Willie Wood and Glenn Deaton to the Airport Board and Pat Clark and Todd Davis to the Elizabethtown Tourism Board.

The council approved a municipal order accepting a bid from Schroeder Construction Inc. for the West Railroad Avenue project.

“This is the first phase of our Community Development Block Grant project moving over into the neighborhood just north of the downtown area,” said City Administrator Ed Poppe.

The bid was accepted at $497,833.

“This project will help us upgrade sidewalks, fix some drainage, do some reconnection of some sewer lines, and then also make some street improvements on about a two block section of the roadway, but we need to move the project rather quickly because of some funding requirements from HUD on this phase of the project,” Poppe said.

The council also approved a proposal for banking services from Magnolia Bank. That contract runs five years with two city options for renewal.

The Elizabethtown City Council will next meet March 23.
