The West Point City Council met for a special meeting Monday evening.
West Point Mayor Richard Ciresi made a final pitch to the council for the city to maintain its lease on the former West Point School Building. The council voted during their March meeting to not renew the current lease with Hardin County Schools for the building at the end of May, but Ciresi said he felt it was in the best interest of West Point citizens for the city to maintain control of it.
“Ultimately, my goal here is to figure out a way that we can hold onto this building and use it the way it’s been used for the past three years successfully,” Ciresi said. “If we were not in the building, we wouldn’t have had the Red Cross here, FEMA, all these people that are in the building.”
Ciresi proposed two lease options. The first had the city sign a revised lease on the building, while the second would have the city lease the building and then sublease the building to the West Point Preservation Corp.
“I just don’t want to see us board this thing up again and it become an eyesore when the West Point Preservation Corp is perfectly willing to fund it and pay the city $1,200 a year for the pleasure of doing so,” Ciresi said.
Council Members Amy Bickel and Dwayne Culver said they supported the arrangement with the preservation corp if some liability concerns could be clarified by the city’s attorney, but Council Members Jo Sabol, Vernon Curl, and Kevin Duke did not support pursuing a lease. Duke said he felt the city needs the building “like we need a hole in the head.”
“We’ve had control of it for how long now, and what has gone on it it?” Duke said. “Nothing has been done with it. We have a few little organizations that come in here and use it, and that’s not going to be worth the money that it’s going to cost.”
With the majority of council members not in favor, no further action was taken on the proposal.
In other meeting news, the council held the first reading on the fiscal year 2025-2026 city budget. Council feedback led to several adjustments to the original proposal, including expanded funding for the city’s fire department to address pump repairs. The budget will go up for adoption on its second reading at the West Point City Council’s June 9 meeting.
John Hardin High School Agriculture Teacher and FFA Adviser Jeremy Hall says his students saw the devastation caused by storms that recently hit Laurel County and other areas of Kentucky last week and immediately wanted to take action. “I’m very blessed that I’ve got a group of kids that just want to help,” Hall said. “As soon as we started seeing, especially Saturday morning, all the devastation, my kids were […]
