The Elizabethtown City Council met for a work session Monday evening.
The city recognized employees who recently completed certifications. Two employees completed their Playground Safety Inspector certifications, which Elizabethtown Parks and Recreation Director Seth Breitner said is one of the most challenging programs to complete. 19 Elizabethtown Police Department officers completed certification to become Alcoholic Beverage Control inspectors.
“Really, we wanted this to be just supplemental, and another tool in the toolbox is what I like to say for them, and we want to be good partners with our businesses and continue to keep our citizens safe, and we feel this is another way to do this,” said City Clerk and ABC Administrator Jessica Graham.
City Stormwater Director Rita Davis provided the council with an update, providing statistics on 2025 activity.
“We had 153 new erosion control permits issued, 25 private water quality units were inspected, we had 12 illicit discharge investigations in 2025, and 38 plan reviews,” Davis said. “We had 176 stormwater requests. A lot of those are from all the rain we had last year.”
Davis said the department completed an audit with the Kentucky Division of Water for the city’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program, and received a rare 100 percent inspection rate.
Also meeting for a work session Monday was the Radcliff City Council. The council received information on the single bid received for the former FFO building and property located at 987 North Dixie Boulevard.
“In this case, the bid amount for the building was $508,500,” said Radcliff Mayor JJ Duvall. “We did have a reserve of $500,000, so it did meet the reserve of that, and the 10 percent earnest money was also included in that, which was $50,850.”
Members of the council expressed their support for the bid, noting the many attempts the city made to find a use for the property after it was gifted to the city.
The Radcliff and Elizabethtown city councils will both host their next regular meetings on February 17.
