94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
The Elizabethtown City Council met for their first meeting of the month Monday.
The council approved an ordinance on second reading which set the rate for hauled waste for leachate from Pearl Hollow Landfill at .0520 cents per gallon. The council voted to deny a bid for seating at the outdoor music venue, with the council instructing Mayor Jeff Gregory and city staff to contact previously interested vendors to secure new bids.
A municipal order for a change order was approved for Elizabethtown Fire Station No. Four to provide for additional special inspection services.
“The contract included a $5,000 contingency for bad soils, and during the first few sites visits L.E. Gregg discovered bad soils, which have now required additional inspections and testing until the issue was remediated,” said City Attorney Ken Howard, reading from the municipal order.
$3,793.25 was approved for L.E. Gregg Associates for the additional inspections. A contract with Thoroughbred Architects and Engineers for $7,000 was also approved for special inspection services on the Freeman Lake Park north end restrooms project.
Elizabethtown Police Chief Jeremy Thompson provided an update on the department’s joint venture with the Kentucky State Police and Motorola on an updated radio system. Thompson said the purchase of five radio consoles, including one dedicated to the Elizabethtown Fire Department, will allow the department to cover anticipated growth.
“When we look at the fourth console (for EPD), we also are looking at the reason we went to Motorola originally, because our radio traffic is at a level that’s so voluminous, there’s times when officers in the field are needing to get airspace and they can’t,” Thompson said. “We need a second channel.”
The council gave authorization to the mayor to sign the contract in order to lock in $130,000 in savings.
The council approved the reappointments of H.Y. Davis to the city’s Board of Zoning Adjustments and Robby Walters to the Hardin County Board of Ethics, and approved the appointment of Aaron Hawkins as the city’s Director of Planning and Development. Hawkins was then sworn in for the position.
The Elizabethtown City Council will next meet December 15.
