The Elizabethtown City Council met for their second meeting of the month Tuesday.
Heather Cochran with RFH, PLLC presented the city’s annual audit report. Cochran said the firm made some recommendations, some of which the city has already taken steps to address, but the city is in compliance for its federal audit.
“The important thing, in my mind, is to know you all did get a ‘clean opinion’,” Cochran said. “That’s kind of as good as it gets in the auditing world. Can’t give you any better than that, so having these recommendations, I know (City finance Director) Jeff (Hawkins) and (City Treasurer) Cheryl (Buhr) and your team will make sure that they get taken care of in the future.”
The first reading was held on an ordinance to rezone 614 through 622 Pear Orchard Road from Suburban Residential (R-2) to Urban Residential (R-3). The rezoning was recommended for approval by the city’s Planning Commission.
The council approved a municipal order which approved a contract with the Elizabethtown Airport Board for a promissory note.
“The city approves the promissory note with the Elizabethtown Airport Board for a bridge loan to cover expenses for the completion of construction of a T-hangar building, to be utilized for the benefit of providing enhanced public services at the airport property off of Kitty Hawk Drive here in Elizabethtown,” said City Attorney Ken Howard, reading from the municipal order.
The loan is for $600,000 with no interest, to be repaid by January 1, 2028. After a closed session, the council also approved a municipal order which approved a contract for financing the Airport Board’s purchase of property located at 1331 Hayden School Road.
The council also approved municipal orders for a contract with Nolin RECC for the installation and maintenance of streetlights on Commerce Drive as part of the outdoor music venue project, as well as for the purchase of property at 607 Moore Drive for $12,000.
The Elizabethtown City Council will next meet January 26.
