Happy 104th Birthday to Harriett Weathers! As beautiful as she is to see, inside her soul rests the true beauty of a lifetime serving others. Maybe the key to longevity is getting outside of yourself and focusing on others. We love you!
We also celebrated Rev. Charles Elliott’s 85th Birthday at King Solomon Missionary Baptist Church on Saturday. We were all waiting to see if he would sing “Happy Birthday” to himself because he sings that song better than anyone else ever has!

Internationally loved artist, Dawn Yates visited the Councilwoman at Historic City Hall recently. They shared stories of Dawn’s many contributions to the art world and beyond. Councilwoman’s favorite sculpture by Dawn is the most photographed sculpture in Louisville – Mayor Charles Farnsley seated on the bench in front of the Fund for the Arts located at 623 West Main Street.
You must stop by this iconic sculpture and take a selfie!

- For City, type in Louisville and select “Louisville Jefferson County Metro Government”
- Program developers suggest you now “sign up” for an account in top right corner. This will allow the system to track all requests. You can also choose not to sign up, which will let you make service requests anonymously.
- To report an issue, select the issue or type something into the search box. Then select issue.
- Next fill out the series of questions. You can enter an actual address or drag and drop the pin on the map to the location.Please be sure to check the address to ensure it’s a valid address.
- Include all details in the description and click submit.
Play around with the new system to become familiar with all the great features. You can now track other people’s service requests and the system will keep them in your account. Please let our office know if you have any issues.
The approved operating budget ordinance can be found here - https://louisvilleky.gov/government/metro-council/services/most-requested-ordinances
The Mayor presented his budget plan, the Community responded, and we rolled up our sleeves doing the work we were elected to do. No one got everything they wanted and not everything got funded. I voted for the budget because it maintained a focus on public safety by putting LMPD trained Officers on the street sooner than expected and we continued to fund affordable housing in addition to the $41 million provided during the past four years. We responded to the many concerns related to homelessness by providing $1 million for sheltering and services. This will help provide for pets, partners and possessions in homeless circumstances. Complex challenges require common sense solutions and it is our responsibility to provide safer neighborhoods and better services for all. This includes basic needs for food, clothing and shelter.
And yes, we fought for swimming pools and libraries to make sure no one gets left behind. Not our children, not our seniors, not anyone.
There’s room for everyone to help our community be as good as we say it is. We need businesses, healthcare, education, nonprofit and interfaith communities to reimagine their roles and create common sense solutions. Together – we hold the answer. We can do this, YES we can!
Councilwoman Barbara Sexton Smith
