Louisville Metro Council News
- A resolution expressing no confidence in Mayor Greg Fischer but outlining steps he can take to regain the city’s trust passed Louisville Metro Council by a 22-4 vote Thursday.
The resolution was amended by a 14-11 vote to remove language calling for Fischer’s resignation, which council Republicans originally proposed in the initial measure. The amended resolution instead calls on the mayor to follow through on a lengthy corrective action plan that council members believe can help him restore confidence among community members. "We can choose to divide and play off of each other, or we can choose to work together to try to find a path forward that advances the needs of the city," said Councilman Markus Winkler, D-17, who co-sponsored the amended resolution. "This is about change for me," said Councilwoman Keisha Dorsey, D-3, "and changing the system doesn't mean anything if we keep changing the people and places and we don't change the actual space and procedures and policies." According to the resolution, the council will take further action if Fischer fails to comply with the corrective action plan, but some members expressed doubts about how the mayor would be held accountable.

Latest News from Mayor Fischer and the City of Louisville
Mayor Fischer announces settlement in civil lawsuit filed by Breonna Taylor’s estate
Settlement includes several LMPD policy changes and reforms
LOUISVILLE, KY (September 15, 2020) – Mayor Greg Fischer announced today that Louisville Metro Government (LMG) has settled a civil lawsuit with the estate of Breonna Taylor, including a $12 million payment and an agreement on several policy changes and reforms, including new drug testing rules for LMPD officers, an incentive for officers to live in specific neighborhoods and a new level of scrutiny over search warrants.
“I cannot begin to imagine Ms. Palmer’s pain," Mayor Fischer said. “And I am deeply, deeply sorry for Breonna’s death.”
Taylor was fatally shot on March 13, as Louisville Metro Police were executing a search warrant at her apartment as part of a larger drug investigation.
“Her death has ignited a movement in Louisville and the nation for racial justice, sending thousands into our streets and in cities all across the country and the world – all crying for justice for Breonna” and triggering a renewed commitment to addressing structural and systemic racism in our city and our country, the Mayor said.
Though the settlement does not change the past, he continued, “I hope it brings some measure of peace” for Taylor’s family, friends and the community.
Breonna’s mother, Tamika Palmer, said, “Justice for Breonna means that we will continue to save lives in her honor. No amount of money accomplishes that, but the police reform measures that we were able to get passed as a part of this settlement mean so much more to my family, our community, and to Breonna’s legacy. We know that there is much work still to be done and we look forward to continuing to work with community leaders, the Mayor’s Office, and other elected leaders to implement long-term sustainable change to fight systemic racism that is plaguing our communities.”
Jefferson County Attorney Mike O’Connell, who represented LMG in the settlement discussions, said it reflects a commitment by his office and the Mayor’s office to “work toward meaningful changes in our city. … Everyone around the table was dedicated to advancing those reforms for the whole community. Much time and effort went into this, and I offer my appreciation to all involved. (But) today alone is not enough. My hope is this agreement is the next step in building a more just Louisville. A more just Louisville is the medicine we need to heal.”
Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the Taylor family, agreed.
“Nothing will ever fill the bottomless void left by the death of Breonna Taylor. This settlement, with the significant reform, ensures that her death has meaning and long-term impact – hopefully preventing the deaths of other Black lives. In my representation of George Floyd, Jacob Blake, Jr., Pamela Turner, and other cases where I have represented individuals impacted by police brutality, there has not been the responsive systematic reform as what has occurred in Louisville, KY in the name of Breonna Taylor. It’s not just the historic $12 million dollar settlement for the death of Breonna Taylor, which is one of the highest settlement amounts ever paid in America for the wrongful death of a Black woman by police BUT it is the comprehensive reform by the Mayor and his team that was equally important.”
As part of the settlement, Louisville Metro Government agreed to these reforms:
Community Related Police Programs
-
Housing Credit Program: Metro will establish a housing credit program to incentivize officers to live within a Qualified Census Tract as their primary residence. Metro will review programs established in Atlanta, Chicago, San Diego, and DC as models for one in Louisville. The initiative will provide officers with a pathway to home ownership and improve community connections.
-
Retain Social Workers: Metro commits to retaining social workers at LMPD for officer support and assistance on dispatched runs warranting a social worker’s presence. Metro is researching best practices and social worker qualifications to create an effective program. Metro plans to initially fund this new program through forfeiture funds by contracting for the services of social workers.
-
Community Volunteering: Metro will encourage LMPD officers to volunteer 2 hours a pay period, during their regular work shift, at an organization in the community they serve.
Search Warrant Reforms
- LMPD has amended its Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) 8.1 on search warrants to require a commanding officer to review and approve all search warrants, affidavits in support of search warrants, and risk matrixes before an officer seeks judicial approval for a search warrant. SOP 8.1 has been updated concerning the simultaneous execution of search warrants at multiple locations. The commanding officer of the unit initiating the warrants will act as the overall Incident Commander with a separate on-scene Commanding Officer at each warrant location who will serve as the Deputy Incident Commander for that location. SOP 8.1 has been updated to require the presence of EMS units and/or paramedics for forced entry search warrants.
Police Accountability Reforms
-
Currency Seizures: LMPD has modified SOP 11.3 with additional protocols for money seized as evidence. The additional policy expressly states that officers must have their body cameras activated for the entire seizure process, which includes counting, placing and sealing the currency into the currency evidence bag before its transport to the property room.
-
IAPro: Metro will implement the early warning system of IAPro that tracks all use of force incidents, citizen complaints, investigations, and other key factors. Metro is committed to identifying any police officer in need of additional assistance or training. The reactivation of this system will require additional personnel to monitor and administer the program. As part of its top-to-bottom review, Hillard Heintze will evaluate criteria of the early warning system and recommend any needed improvements. Metro plans for the early warning system to be also monitored through the Office of Inspector General once this office is established.
-
Drug testing: All officers are subject to random testing. Metro agrees to include in 2021 negotiations with the FOP an expansion of the random drug testing to ensure all officers are randomly tested at least once a year.
-
Personnel files: Metro will negotiate with the FOP in 2021 to expand on the records it may maintain in police officers’ personnel files.
-
PSU Investigations: Metro has updated its PSU investigation process regarding cases when a police officer separates from LMPD before the completion of his or her investigation. The police officer’s personnel file will include a PSU closing letter that states the Chief’s findings based on the evidence that exists in the file at the time of the separation from LMPD, if sufficient evidence exists in the record to make such a determination or that insufficient evidence exists to make a finding. If the nature of the complaint is significant enough to have reasonably resulted in the suspension of a police officer, the PSU investigation will continue gathering evidence to evaluate if additional officers or problems exist that require the PSU investigation continue.
“These are significant policy changes, on top of many others that we have already made, including those that are part of Breonna’s Law, as well as changes to policies on use of force and tear gas usage,” the Mayor said, while also thanking “the hard work of my team and that of County Attorney Mike O’Connell and his team, and the cooperation and thoughtfulness with which the Taylor family and her attorneys worked with us.”

What are the rules about...Waste Containers?
Keeping garbage and recycling contained is essential to a safe and healthy community. It prevents disease, reduces litter, and makes it safe and efficient to collect. For those reasons our local ordinances say that all household garbage and recycling must be set out in appropriate containers. No bags containing garbage or recycling can be set on the ground outside of the containers.
- The city provides a black 95-gallon wheeled garbage cart to households within the Urban Services District. You may request a smaller 65-gallon garbage cart instead.
- An orange 18-gallon recycling bin is also provided. You may purchase a 65 or 95-gallon wheeled recycling cart instead.
-
Yard waste can be collected in bundles, in paper yard waste bags, or store-bought containers.
In some situations, you can use store-bought containers for garbage or recycling as well, but for all types of waste, the containers must be less than 40-gallon capacity, have handles for lifting, and marked to indicate what is in them. Yard Waste and Recycling container stickers are available at the Metro Solid Waste office, 600 Meriwether Avenue, open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
|
To request your first garbage cart or recycling bin, or to have a cart repaired, contact Metro311 at www.louisvilleky.gov/tell311 or by calling 311 or 574-5000.
To purchase an additional garbage cart, an additional recycling bin, or a wheeled recycling cart visit our website: https://louisvilleky.gov/government/public-works/services/order-garbage-or-recycling-bin
Solid Waste Container Ordinances:
51.405 (B)(1): All household garbage, recycling, and yard waste must be set out in the cart provided by the Department or approved containers meeting the requirements of § 51.507. No bags containing garbage or recycling can be set outside of the containers.
51.405 (A)(4): All reusable containers not provided by the Department and as authorized by § 51.507, that are used for the disposal of garbage, yard waste or recycling, must be marked to accurately reflect the contents of the container.

TreesLouisville and Arbor Day Foundation providing free trees to Louisville residents
TreesLouisville is partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation to provide 700 free trees to Louisville residents. This is the fourth round of a partnership that has delivered 2,975 trees in the past year at no cost to residents. These trees will have a significant impact on energy savings, carbon sequestration, and improved water quality for decades to come. This program estimates where a tree planted on your property will provide maximum benefits.
Trees should arrive in late October or early November, just in time for the tree planting season. The following species are available: Tulip Poplar, Willow, Oak, Blackgum, Sycamore, American Beech, Sugar Maple, and Redbud. Community Canopy is one of the ways TreesLouisville confronts the estimated yearly loss of 54,000 trees in our city, mostly on residential properties. We continue to advocate for Louisvillians to plant trees as a proven strategy to combat the urban heat island effect and cleanour water and air. Visit www.arborday.org/treeslouisville to reserve your tree today.

JCPS Updates - 2020/2021 School Year Plan
The Jefferson County Board of Education approved an amended calendar for 2020-21, as well as a plan that will guide us as we move through this school year. Under the amended calendar and plan, all students will start the year on Tuesday, August 25 with Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI). The district will remain in NTI for at least the first six weeks. At that time we will assess the learning environment and make a decision about moving forward with guidance from local, state and federal health and education officials. When school buildings do reopen, we will provide the option of an online, virtual academy for families who do not wish to return to in-person classes. We will continue to communicate these decisions with you as soon as they are made.
Changes on the amended calendar:
- Students will have 171 days of instruction, instead of the 175 days typically included in the JCPS calendar.
- The calendar maintains 187 days for teachers and instructional/ school staff.
- The amended calendar changes four days that had previously been non-school days for students - Oct. 6, Nov. 2, January 4, 2021 and March 26, 2021 - to instructional days.
- Barring weather or other delays, the last day of the school year for students and teachers/instructional staff is May 27 and May 28, 2021, respectively.
The district's plan can be found in its school opening manual, Onward, Together.

Be informed about crimes with LMPD's crime mapping website
The Louisville Metro Police Department uses a Crime Mapping website to display crime on a map in Jefferson County. Zoom in to see crimes in an area, or put an address in the address bar at top left to search. You may sign up for auto email alerts for crime around an address. Reports are made available to the public after a process of internal review, often in the same day as the report taken. Due to the nature of some crimes, reports are made available to public upon the completion of a thorough investigation and will be made available as soon as practical.
Or use the crime mapping iPhone app. If you see crime occurring, please contact the Louisville Metro Police Department. Call 911 for emergencies. Call 502-574-7111 for non-emergency related help or to find a towed vehicle. Call 574-LMPD to report crime tips.
Please call the LMPD non-emergency number, instead of sending an email, if you're seeing suspicious activity in your neighborhood. Sending emails to LMPD delays response, and officers need to be dispatched for the activity. These citations continue the nuisance abatement process. The LMPD non-emergency line is 574-7111 or 574-2111
