The Radcliff City Council met for their second meeting of the month Tuesday.
The council approved the remediation of the cabins at Saunders Springs Nature Preserve to address damage caused by powder post beetles, with the work valued at $13,752. The council also approved the disassembly and storage of the Stovall cabin, which has suffered more extensive damage, until more extensive restoration options are decided upon.
Council Member Jerry Brown said it was important to work to keep something that makes the city special.
“There is so much duplication amongst what towns have,” Brown said. “Everybody has a McDonald’s, everybody has a yada yada yada. These are unique to Radcliff. It brings people into Radcliff. People might have their photographs taken there. They might have events there. This is one of the few things that we have that we can smile about and all agree on, so I think this is one of those things that’s worth keeping, worth supporting, worth putting our money in.”
Beth Avey with the Central Kentucky Community Foundation’s Heels Together initiative presented to the council on the Pink Dot Project, which allows area residents to donate period products for women and girls who cannot afford them. Gathering Bakery in Radcliff served as one of the first drop off locations for the project, and a temporary drop-off bin is now located in the Colvin Community Center. Avey said the first distribution from the project is set for the end of this month.
“We don’t want it to be just a one-time thing,” Avey said. “We want to keep it going, so if you’re willing, put products in the box. You can also go online, and there’s a QR code on the box too, where you can buy products on our Amazon Wishlist, or you can donate money and we’ll go do the shopping for you.”
