94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
The Elizabethtown City Council met for their first meeting of the month Monday.
The first reading was held on the city’s budget for fiscal year 2026-2027.
“The budget contains total funds available of $158,472,681 and total appropriations for expenditures equal to $125,794.26, with an estimated ending fund balance of $32,677,755,” said City Attorney Ken Howard, reading from the ordinance.
The budget will go up for adoption on the ordinance’s second reading.
The first reading was also held on an ordinance annexing 1615 Saint John Road, to be zoned Urban Residential (R-4), along with an ordinance for a text amendment change for historic preservation overlay which would add more properties to the Downtown Historic District, including the Brown-Pusey House.
A municipal order approving a $497,032 bid from Pace Contracting LLC for Phase III of the North Main Street sidewalk improvements project was approved, as was a municipal order approving an agreement with the City of Radcliff for the creation of the Gaither Station Range for law enforcement firearms training. Elizabethtown Police Chief Jeremy Thompson said the city has been using the range at the Hardin County landfill for about the past 30 years.
“Essentially, the number of law enforcement agencies that utilize that range has grown,” Thompson said. “The calendar that we all share has become a lot more difficult to just manage those times that are best effective for our schedules in E-Town. (Radcliff Police) Chief Cross and I had been in conversations about somehow collaborating on a range.”
During the meeting’s invocation, Council Member Marty Fulkerson honored Elizabethtown Firefighter Ryan Druen, who died at the age of 52 Friday. Elizabethtown Mayor Jeff Gregory asked for continued thoughts and prayers for Druen’s family, friends, and fellow firefighters.
“I know what he’s meant to (Elizabethtown Fire Chief) Mark and the rest of the fire department,” Gregory said. “To be quite frank, they’re sad, and we’re sad because we’ve lost a great teammate, and a friend, somebody that made a real difference in our community, and he will be missed.”
Public visitation for Ryan Druen will be Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Central Hardin High School. The Brooks Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
The Elizabethtown City Council will next meet June 8.
