The Elizabethtown City Council met for their second meeting of the month Monday.
The council approved two ordinances on their second readings. The first approves a zoning change for 475 Hodgenville Road from Regional Commercial (C-3) to High-Density Residential (R-6) to accommodate the construction of an apartment complex. The second approves amendments to the city’s sewer use ordinance, primarily concerning grease trap installation requirements.
“The defined structure for failure to comply with the regulations has been changed from $200 per monthly occurrence to $300 per monthly occurrence,” city Attorney Ken Howard read from the ordinance summary. “That is per a 500-gallon capacity size of interceptor.”
The council approved several municipal orders, including a $69,900 bid from Five Star Commercial Roofing Inc. for work on the Historic State Theater’s roof and a $5,975,000 bid from Dirt Works Unlimited for the Commerce Drive roadway project. Elizabethtown Mayor Jeff Gregory said the city was pleased as both of those bids came in well below engineering estimates.
Palmer Engineering was awarded a $50,000 contract to conduct an environmental assessment and archaeological evaluation for the extension of Commerce Drive through the outdoor music venue site, and to evaluate potential connections to Mulberry Street and Springfield Road, and the council approved a grant agreement with the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority that provides $756,400 for Leitchfield Road sewer line upgrades.
Council Member Tim Isaacs made a special announcement regarding an area school resource officer.
“We found out today that the Kentucky Center for School Safety, which is an organization that all public schools work with very closely for obvious reasons with its title, helping us all stay as safe as possible, they named EPD Officer Larry Robinson as the School Resource Officer of the Year for the state of Kentucky,” Isaacs said.
Gregory said Robinson has been a model for area SROs, and Elizabethtown Police Chief Jeremy Thompson said Robinson was one of two SROs when he became chief, and he is now one of 10.
The Elizabethtown City Council will next meet April 28.
