Budget Hearing Meetings

logo

The Louisville Metro Council Budget Committee is announcing the following schedule for hearings on the increase in pension contributions required by the Kentucky Retirement Systems, possible reductions in Metro services and a proposed increase in the insurance premium tax.

Our top priority is public safety and our number one responsibility is financial management. We ask the men and women of LMPD, Louisville Fire & Rescue, and EMS to put their lives in danger every day to keep us safe. It is our responsibility to make sure they have what they need to do so. We must invest in them and balance our budget at the same time. This is the first time in the history of our merged government that we have asked to increase our taxes. It’s time to invest, says Councilwoman Sexton Smith. 

The schedule is as follows:

Thursday, February 28 – Regular Budget Committee meeting at 4:30 p.m.  Public Hearing beginning at 6:00 p.m., at the conclusion of the regular committee meeting.    

Monday, March 4 – Public Hearing beginning at 6:00 p.m.

Thursday, March 14 – Regular Budget Committee meeting at 4:30 p.m.

Signups for those wishing to address the Budget Committee on February 28 and March 4 begin one hour prior to the start of the hearing on the third floor of City Hall. 

Speakers are called in order of signup and have up to three minutes to make comments.  Written testimony can be turned in during the meeting and, occasionally, speakers are asked questions by the Committee members. 

Speakers may use the Sixth Street entrance to Historic City Hall. Individuals needing assistance may enter City Hall from the Jefferson Street entrance.

All meetings are carried live on Metro TV, Spectrum Cable Channel 184 or on UVERSE at Channel 99. All meetings of the Metro Council are streamed live. Go to the Metro Council home page at www.Louisvilleky.gov/metrocouncil  and click on the Metro Council Agendas link.

The committee has also created an online form for questions about these issues.  Answers will be coordinated by the Louisville Metro Office of Management and Budget. Questions may be submitted online using this form: https://louisvilleky.wufoo.com/forms/submit-questions-on-the-proposed-budget/.  All questions should be submitted by March 6 to allow for responses to be posted online by March 14.

To access the new page with general information, and questions and answers, on the pension contributions, possible reductions in Metro services and the proposed insurance premium tax, the public may visit https://louisvilleky.gov/government/metro-council-district-9/proposed-insurance-premium-tax-and-proposed-reduction-city

Hannah Drake was named  a Daughter of Greatness of the Ali Center.  Drake is a blogger, activist, public speaker, poet, and the author of 9 books. She writes commentary on politics, feminism, and race and her work has been featured in Cosmopolitan Magazine. Hannah has presented at the Idea Festival, curated performances for the Festival of Faiths, partnered with The Louisville Ballet for their Choreographer’s Showcase, and exhibited her visual art and poetry at the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft and 1619 Flux. Her poem “Spaces” was selected by the National Academy of Medicine for a national art exhibit about health equity. Hannah was selected as a 2017 Hadley Creative by the Community Foundation of Louisville and Creative Capital and her work has been honored by the Kentucky Alliance of Against Racist and Political Repression. Her message is thought-provoking and at times challenging, but Hannah believes it is in the uncomfortable spaces that change can take place. 

 

The “Daughters of Greatness” breakfast series features prominent women engaged in social philanthropy, activism, and pursuits of justice. The stories and reflections they share are motivational to some people, transformative to others, and inspirational to all. The Ali Center periodically invites these local and international icons to share their stories with the Louisville community. The Daughters of Greatness series provides a place for dialogue and discussion on current issues of justice, community engagement, and social movements within the Louisville area and beyond.

derby

​The Derby City Roller Girls is Louisville, Kentucky’s first and only Women’s Flat Track Roller Derby league. Flat track roller derby is a full contact sport played on quad roller skates on a flat, oval track.  Gameplay moves in a counter-clockwise direction (also known as "derby direction"). Each game consists of two 30 minute halves that are further divided into as many 2 minute (or less) "jams" as possible. The winner of the game is determined by the team who has scored the most points.

They are a diverse league coming together from Louisville and Southern Indiana to pursue excellence through competition and athleticism. They  work together to passionately promote roller derby and foster the spirit of the sport while providing marketable sports entertainment for the greater Louisville Metro area.

Three young men were honored by Councilwoman Sexton Smith and Metro Council after helping save people from a burning apartment fire.

The blaze happened in November while 12-year-old Jeremiah Smith had friends over for his birthday party. Fire crews were called to the boy's apartment in the 600 block of East St. Catherine Street. When they arrived, Smith, DeWayne Taylor, 12, and Curtis Taylor, 13, had already evacuated the building.

"If I was worrying about myself the people who were asleep in my house wouldn't have made it out, " says Smith. 

Family members say the blaze started as a grease fire. The complex was a total loss.

Chairman John Yarmuth hosted his 13th annual Community Dialogue for African-American Veterans at the Kentucky Center for African-American Heritage. The Chairman addressed the crowd, giving updates on state and federal issues. The floor was open to veterans to share their questions and concerns. The chairman explained why he hosts this event annually.

“Many of these men and women served in an era, we even had segregated units.” People didn’t want to serve with African Americans, but they served with all the distinction, valor and bravery that all the other soldiers did. We’re just proud to be able to do this every year. I think the veterans enjoy being together and getting the recognition they so richly deserve.”

New Roots is now accepting orders and inquiries for the 2019 Fresh Stop Markets.

Get ready, get fresh.

New Roots is now accepting orders and inquiries for the 2019 Fresh Stop Markets.

New Roots' Fresh Stop Markets are bi-weekly fresh food markets that "pop-up" at local churches, community centers and businesses in neighborhoods without farm-fresh food, where people who subscribe for organic, local produce can collect their shares (bags). New Roots is a grassroots nonprofit organization that supports the markets, volunteer leaders, farmers and fundraising that make it happen.

Here’s how it works: Community members purchase shares of 8-10 varieties of seasonal produce in advance, which comes from local farmers who provide fresh, delicious and organic items. Share prices are determined on an income-sliding scale, and everyone gets the same food regardless of what you pay. You then pick up your share at your neighborhood Fresh Stop Market every other week, at the market of your choice. Pop-up markets in seven different Louisville neighborhoods means fresh food is closer to home. Shareholders and volunteers regularly describe this movement of Fresh Food For All as life-changing.

Call 502.509.6770, or email info@newroots.org, to join a Fresh Stop Market in your community ahead of the June kick-offs. We double SNAP Benefits, and accept debit/credit. 

2019 Fresh Stop Markets are located in Berrytown, Shelby Park/Smoketown, Russell, Old Louisville, Hikes Point, Portland, and New Albany. Share prices are $6, $12, $25, or $40 based on your income and number of people in your household. Click here to see our PayMint scale

Contribute or volunteer to New Roots to support this life-saving work! Click here if you are an individual. Click here if you are a business.

New Way to Report Illegal Dumpers

dumping

See Something Say Something!!!!

We all know that illegal dumping--putting waste on property that is not licensed as a disposal facility--is an eyesore that is expensive to clean up, diminishes quality of life, discourages economic development and even sends plastic debris into our waterways.

That's why people caught dumping along our city's alleys, sidewalks, fields and roadsides are subject to fines and impoundment of any vehicle used in the dumping. That's where citizens can help with the problem. If you witness illegal dumping while it's happening, report it.

We've developed a new online form you can use to tell us where it happened, describe the vehicle(s) involved, preferably with license plate number(s), and even upload pictures. Of course you can always call Metro Call 311 or 574-5000. For more information about illegal dumping, including a link to the reporting form, visit our illegal dumping webpage.
