The Radcliff City Council met for their second meeting of the month Tuesday.
The council approved an ordinance that rezones 238 Cedar Oak Drive in Vine Grove from Commercial to Residential-4, which will accommodate the development of a housing subdivision with about 80 housing units. The council had tabled the ordinance in order to hold a second public hearing on the matter after Fort Knox raised concerns with the development’s proximity to the installation. Radcliff Council Member Jerry Brown said the zoning issue was an opportunity for dialogue between the city and Fort Knox to open up.
“You know, partnerships work best when there’s a give and take, and it seems like for the last few years, we had lost that, and I think this is the beginning of us maybe furthering our friendship and becoming closer, at least that’s what I’m hoping,” Brown said.
The council approved a bid from Air Temp of Radcliff for an HVAC system at the Colvin Community Center, valued at $46,850, and a bid from Shed N’ Carport Pro for a storage building for the city’s parks and rec department, valued at $63,604.63. The council also voted to set Trick or Treating in the city for 5 to 8 p.m. on October 31.
Hardin County First District Magistrate Chris Yates spoke during the meeting, with Yates voicing his disapproval for a proposal that would move a 24-hour Hardin County EMS ambulance from Radcliff to White Mills.
“I think the best move is to put the 40-hour ambulance in White Mills, see what numbers come about, and then let the fiscal court try to make a decision come budget time to see if we can fund a 24-hour ambulance up there,” Yates said. “I do not think the right move is to take an ambulance out of the second-largest city in one of the most populated areas in the county away.”
Yates encouraged residents with concerns to voice their opinions at the next Hardin County Town Hall Forum, which will be held in the fiscal courtroom at the county building at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, October 27.
The Radcliff City Council will next meet November 10.
