Dear Friends,
Your input is needed now more than ever as we work through the proposed FY2020-2021 Metro Budget. I serve on the Metro Council Budget Committee and will be counting on you to participate by submitting written comments online or during our virtual public hearings. You will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed 2020-2021 Capital and Operating Budgets. Please see details below for required preregistration.
Proposed Metro Budget Public Hearings are scheduled for:
Thursday, May 7th at 5:00pm
Wednesday, May 13th at 6:00pm
Guidelines for the two public hearings are as follows:
- Only one designated speaker may speak for each non-profit group.
- You do not have to be a member of a nonprofit group to speak.
- Each person will have three (3) minutes to speak.
- Be prepared for any follow up questions from the committee.
- The Committee is interested in hearing from anyone in the community.

Both hearings will be held virtually via WebEx Events and advanced registration is required.
Please remember, I believe everyone’s voice matters and it is important for us to know what your priorities are as we move forward with the budget process. Your health and safety is our concern and we are asking for your participation and patience as we navigate this virtual process together.

The Louisville Asset Building Coalition (LABC) that normally prepares taxes in-person has switched to a virtual tax preparation model. The service is free if you earned $66,000 Adjusted Gross Income or less in 2019, or if you qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit. Clients can make appointments by visiting https://labcservices.org/. You may also click here to view a flyer that fully describes the process. LABC understands that not everyone will be comfortable with this new method, LABC plans to operate in-person tax sites once it’s safe to do so. More information will be provided in the D9 eNews when it’s available. The tax filing deadline has been extended to July 15, 2020.
