Your New Councilman

On November 3, 2015 I was elected to serve as the Metro Councilman for District 10. I am a lifelong resident of District 10 and have spent more than 15 years in public service.

I began my career in civil practice and later worked as an Assistant County Attorney under Irv Maze, acting as a criminal prosecutor and co-director of the Louisville/Jefferson County Merger Transition Office. In that role, I drafted and lobbied for the bill that served as the guide to ensure a smooth transition to the new unified government.

From 2011 to 2014, I served as Mayor Greg Fischer's general counsel and Director of Legislative Affairs. As part of the Intergovernmental Affairs Team, I successfully lobbied the Kentucky General Assembly to pass legislation giving Louisville Metro Government priority lien status for abatement costs in cleaning and boarding private property. This has been a tremendous help in fighting Metro Louisville's vacant and abandoned property problem.

In late 2014, I returned to the Jefferson County Attorney's office to serve as Director of the Civil Division, where I managed a team of more than 30 attorneys and staff who handle collection of delinquent taxes, employee investigations, labor negotiations, real estate and economic development transactions, land use regulations, contracts and procurement, and other legal services.

I currently serve on the Louisville/Jefferson County Democratic Executive Committee. My previous community service includes the Board of Directors of the Louisville Central Community Center, Louisville Metro Council District 10 Advisory Committee, and Metro United Way’s Successful School Age Youth Committee.

I graduated cum laude from the University of Louisville School of Law in 1995, and magna cum laude with a B.S. in accounting from the University of Kentucky in 1992. I see elected office as a culmination of his many years of experience serving Metro Louisville. I am continuing a legacy of public service started by my mother, Mary Margaret Mulvihill, who served on the Board of Alderman from 1975 to 1981.

My wife, Jennifer, is an attorney who serves as a Compliance Manager for LG&E/KU, and I live in the heart of District 10 with our three children — Jack, Jacob, and Katie.

I was sworn in on November 7, 2015, by Court of Appeals Judge Irv Maze with my family and mother Mary Margaret Mulvihill at Frazier Rehab Center.

As promised, I have been able to jump right into the duties of Councilman for District 10. I have attended the appropriations committee this week.  This committee approves funding for the neighborhood and capital projects throughout Metro.  

I also attended the Zoo Master Plan Meeting this week where the future vision of the Zoo was discussed.  The Zoo has big plans to keep expanding and improving. In order to do this, fundraising will be key to accomplishing these impressive advancements

Crunch Time for Leaf Disposal

Leaf

We're beginning the heaviest part of the season for fall leaf drop. Here's another reminder of the best leaf disposal options. 

Best: Mulch leaves with a lawnmower and let them settle into the turf as a natural fertilizer and weed deterrent. Get more information on this Love ‘em and Leave ‘em approach at www.lelelouisville.com.

Next Best: Place yard waste in reusable containers no larger than 40 gallon capacity that have handles to reduce the need for continual purchase of single-use bags. A limited number of cans are available for in-person-only sale at our Solid Waste Management Services office at 600 Meriwether Avenue. The cost is $10 per can and must be paid by check.

Still Good: Paper bags designed for yard waste collection or compostable plastic bags that meet ASTM D6400 standards. A limited number of paper bags are available at no charge at any of our Staffed Recycling Centers or at the Solid Waste Management Services office at 600 Meriwether Avenue.

Helpful Hint: The number of containers needed for large volumes of leaves can be reduced dramatically by mowing or shredding the leaves before collecting them.

Free leaf drop-off service. The drop-off service will be available Tuesday through Saturday, November 10 through December 5.

Drop-off will not be available on November 26 and 27 in   observance of the Thanksgiving holiday. Only loose leaves will be accepted and transport containers must be disposed of off-site by residents.

Drop-off locations and hours:

  • 10500 Lower River Road (corner of Bethany Lane) Tuesday-Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
  • 595 Hubbards Lane at the East District Public Works Yard Tuesday-Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. 

636 Meriwether Avenue at the Waste Reduction Center Tuesday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
