Major budget cuts coming for Louisville Metro
Last week, Metro Council voted against a compromise proposal for an increase in the insurance premium tax and reduced Metro services, to deal with the large and growing pension bill we received from Frankfort.
Now, the Council must make $35 million in cuts to Metro services in the budget starting July 1. An additional $30 million in cuts will have to be made over the next three years.
As a result, this office has placed a hold on all Neighborhood Development Funds (NDF) applications from agencies outside Metro Government that Councilman Mulvihill has not committed to already.
"Nonprofits and neighborhood associations that are accustomed to receiving NDFs will likely need to find additional sources of funding," Councilman Mulvihill said.
The D10 office will, for example, not be able to provide NDF funding for the Germantown Schnitzelburg Blues Festival. However, D10 will work with Metro Parks to provide picnic tables for the event.
"Shakespeare in Emerson Park is scheduled for Sunday, April 7," Councilman Mulvihill said. "Luckily these funds were committed before the news of the $35 million in cuts coming as a result of the vote last week."

Yard waste collection resumes next week
Regular yard waste collection in the Urban Services District will resume the week of April 1.
The seasonal shutdown, which started in mid-January, is due to the smaller amount of yard waste during the winter months. Thanks for your patience during this seasonal suspension.
As a reminder:
- There is no limit on the number of bags or cans of yard waste that may be set out for collection.
- When a holiday occurs, yard waste collection is delayed, like garbage or recycling pickup.
- Yard waste may be set out in garbage cans, paper bags, or compostable bags as long as each can or bag weighs no more than 60 pounds and can be easily lifted by the average person.
- All yard waste must be set out by 6 a.m. on collection day - no earlier than 4 p.m. on the day before collection day.
- All containers must be removed from the street or alley no later than 4 p.m. the day after collection and stored on the property.
- Yard waste such as grass, leaves, or other yard waste must be free of other garbage or plastic flower pots, etc.
- Woody waste (such as tree limbs and shrub trimmings) should be less than two inches in diameter and should be cut into four-foot lengths and securely tied into bundles light enough to be easily handled by one individual.
