The Radcliff City Council met for a regular meeting Tuesday.
The council approved an ordinance which amended the meeting times for the city’s Forestry and Conservation Board, setting the meetings for 5:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of January, April, July, and October. The council also approved an update to the Radcliff Police Department’s policies and procedures concerning domestic violence and biased-based policing. When asked by Council Member Jerry Brown about wording in the policy concerning how officers greet somebody during a traffic stop, Radcliff Police Chief Jeff Cross said potential officers he interviews know they are held to a high standard but still have to defend themselves.
“You want to not get down to the level of someone else,” Cross said. “You want to try to stay above that and keep your cool. You want to deescalate the situation, always, if you can. Now there’s times that you can’t do that. We had two officers last week, they encountered a subject just like what you spoke about, and he bit both of them, and both of them had to go to the hospital.”
The first reading was held on ordinances rezoning 253 Battle Training Road from Residential-2 to Residential-4, rezoning the property on the south side of Battle Training Road between North Dixie Boulevard and Blair Hill Lane from R-2 to R-4, and rezoning 3366 South Wilson Road from R-2 to Commercial.
The first reading was also held on an ordinance amending the city Zoning Ordinance and Development Regulations.
“The purpose of the amendments is to update the city’s Zoning Ordinance in accordance with changes in state statutes regarding the definition and regulation of qualified manufactured homes as defined under state law,” said City Attorney Mike Pike, reading from the ordinance.
The amendment was recommended for approval by the city’s Planning Commission
The council also made a motion authorizing the conveyance of a lot at the Mill Pond Business Center to the Mid-Kentucky Kennel Club, and authorizing Mayor JJ Duvall to execute a purchase agreement for the property.
Junior members of the American Legion Auxiliary conducted a table setting ceremony in observance of the Month of the Military Child, which the city issued a proclamation to recognize April as. The members also led the Pledge of Allegiance at the beginning of the meeting.
The Radcliff City Council will next meet May 11.
