The Elizabethtown City Council met for their second meeting of the month Monday.
The council approved three zoning amendments that were on their second readings: 320 Pear Orchard Road Northwest from Suburban Residential General (R-2) to Urban Residential General (R-4), 325 Helm Street from Urban Residential General (R-4) to Urban Residential Mixed (R-5), and 938 and 948 Nicholas Street from Urban Residential (R-3) to Planned Development District. The council also approved a municipal order accepting the bid for the Foxborough storm infrastructure improvements project from Dirt Works Unlimited for $190,590.
The first reading was held on an ordinance amending city sewer rates.
“The surcharges for hauled waste are as follows: leachate from Pearl Hollow Landfill will now be 0.0520 cents per gallon,” said City Attorney Ken Howard, reading from the ordinance.
Elizabethtown Mayor Jeff Gregory thanked the city employees and staff along with partners at Feeding America, Kentucky’s Heartland for their work on food distribution events the city hosted the last two Fridays. He said the city is planning on hosting their third and final event of the year this Saturday.
“At the last two distributions, we handed out food to a thousand households in each distribution,” said Elizabethtown City Council Member Julia Springsteen. “We’ll have food for another thousand households this Saturday. We’ll have it similar to what we’ve handed out the last two weeks, but there will also be a protein box this time. Usually there’s a bag of chicken breast and some other things in there, so it will be a little extra in this distribution this week to hopefully help people have a better Thanksgiving.”
Gregory said the city is planning on hosting Saturday’s event in the morning at Freeman Lake Park. The city will release more specific details soon.
The Elizabethtown City Council will next meet December 8.
