BBB Storm Chaser Warning

April 14, 2022 – BBB serving Louisville, Southern Indiana, and Western Kentucky warns of storm-chasing scammers in the aftermath of the tornadoes and severe storms that struck the Louisville area and surrounding counties Wednesday evening. There is an increased potential of out-of-town storm chasers looking to take advantage of victims as they begin the process of cleaning up and making repairs. BBB warns Kentucky residents affected by the storms to beware of these scammers.   BBB offers the following tips for tornado and storm victims:

• Know your rights and responsibilities as provided by the state Attorney General. Kentucky residents can contact the Kentucky Attorney General’s office at ag.ky.gov or call 502.696.5300.

• Businesses must be licensed. Contact the Revenue Commission at 502.574.4860 to check out a company’s licensure.

• Many municipalities require a solicitation permit if salespeople go door-to-door.  Verify that they need to have a permit by contacting your local Township or Municipality or call Permits & Licensing at 502.574.3321

• While most roofing contractors abide by the law, be careful allowing someone you do not know to inspect your roof. An unethical contractor may actually create damage to get work.

• Try to get at least 3-4 quotes from contractors, and insist that payments be made to the company, not an individual.

• Do not pay for the job in advance. Be wary of any contractor who demands full or half payment upfront.  

• Resist high-pressure sales tactics, such as the “good deal” you’ll get only if you hire the contractor on the spot. • Get a written contract that specifies the price, the work to be done, the amount of liability insurance coverage maintained by the contractor, and a time frame. Require a copy of their current certificate of insurance.

• For general questions or complaints related to insurance, contact your state’s Department of Insurance. Kentucky residents can visit insurance.ky.gov or call 502.564.3630.

• Pay by credit card, if possible; you may have additional protection if there’s a problem.

• If you suspect a company may be price gouging necessary goods or services due to this disaster, report the business to BBB and the Attorney General’s office.

• Beware of FEMA imposters. In the past, scammers impersonate FEMA to try to scam consumers. Remember that FEMA does not charge for inspections and they always wear ID badges. If you are still unsure, check with FEMA first at fema.gov or call 202.646.2500. BBB is also warning area contractors to beware of storm chasers who are willing to pay local construction companies substantial amounts of money to use a local business’s established name, reputation, and phone so they can masquerade as a local business. Many contractors who agreed to let these storm chasers use their name regret their decision once they were left holding the bag of unsatisfied customers due to bad workmanship and/or unfulfilled warranties.

2022 Property Valuation Assessment - How Will it Affect You?

The Jefferson County PVA is preparing for 2022 property assessments. If you are receiving this email you are a Metro Council representative in one of the reassessment areas. The 2022 property reassessment will encompass MLS areas 6,8 and 9. The reassessment is required by law.

Increasing public understanding of property assessments and the right to appeal is a top priority of the PVA's mission: to provide fair and equitable assessments with best-in-class customer service.   

The role of the PVA is to fairly assess the value of all property.  This is an important part of the process to determine the taxes collected to fund our cities, school districts, and emergency services.  We do our best to determine accurate median property value for comparable homes, but we don’t know every detail of all properties. The condition of a home could mean it falls substantially below or above the median value. 

The 2022 reassessment covers a very dense area. We will be hosting nine hybrid community meetings in March and April for each of the areas affected by the 2022 reassessment. These will be in person and virtual to reach as many people as possible. Your help to share information and drive attendance at our public meeting is extremely important because the first step of the appeals process in 2022 is available from April 22nd to May 16th.

LMAS Asks for Tips in Search for Person(s) Responsible for Dumping 60+ Domesticated Rabbits in Beckley Creek Park

rabbits

Public urged to contact LMPD’s anonymous tip line with information

 

Louisville, Ky. (April 13, 2022) – Louisville Metro Animal Services (LMAS) is asking the public for help identifying the person(s) responsible for dumping more than 60 domesticated rabbits in Beckley Creek Park and encourages anyone with information to contact the Louisville Metro Police Department’s (LMPD) anonymous tip line at 574-LMPD.

“It’s important we find the person responsible because not only is it illegal to abandon pets in Jefferson County, domesticated rabbits cannot survive in the wild,” said Ashley Book, interim LMAS shelter director. “We don’t know how long the rabbit had been out there without proper shelter or food and sadly, we don’t expect all of them to survive.”

On Tuesday, April 12th, Animal Control responded to Beckley Creek Park where more than 60 Rabbits had been abandoned. With the help of Parklands officials and members of the public, 49 rabbits were rescued and taken to the LMAS Shelter. Officers returned to the park on Wednesday to patrol for the remaining rabbits. LMAS will care for them during the stray hold period while it works to find placement with local rescue organizations.

“The shelter is not capable of caring for so many rabbits entering the shelter at once,” said Ashley Book, interim shelter director. “To help make their temporary stay as comfortable as possible, we’re asking the public for donations.”

LMAS is requesting donations of rabbit pellets and Timothy Hay, which can be dropped off at the LMAS Shelter, located at 3528 Newburg Road, Monday-Saturday from 12pm to 6pm.

At the start of his administration, Mayor Greg Fischer pledged to replace the city’s only open intake shelter, which had operated for decades as a high-kill shelter. Today, with the opening of a state-of-the-art Harshaw Family Foundation Animal Shelter in 2019 and Alley Cat Advocates headquarters in 2020, all the city’s animal-related services are located on one campus on Newburg Road, where residents can adopt a pet, purchase or renew a pet license or take a stray pet.  In 2017, LMAS qualified as a No Kill Shelter for time and space for the first time, achieving a 92.8% live release rate for animals that entered the shelter. LMAS’ live release rate increased to 94.99% in 2021, and it continues its status as a No Kill Shelter for time and space.

Storm Debris Collection Plan

storm

 

Residents of Jefferson County are invited to drop off storm debris for free. This includes all tree debris and bulky waste from storm damage. Since all tree debris will be composted, it must be separate from bulky waste for easy off-loading at each site. Residents will be asked to provide their name and address at the drop-off sites.

 

Drop-off sites and hours:

 

  • Public Works Yard, 10500 Lower River Road (enter from Bethany Lane)
  • Charlie Vettiner Park, 5550 Charlie Vettiner Park Road (by disc golf course)
  • Fern Creek Park, 8703 Ferndale Road
  • Highview Park, 7120 Briscoe Lane
  • Waste Reduction Center, 636 Meriwether Avenue

 

April 15 – April 30 (or longer if necessary)

Monday – Saturday, 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.

 

Household hazardous waste will not be accepted.

 

Contractors and businesses who are hauling debris are invited to use the Waste Reduction Center for the usual fee. See, Louisvilleky.gov/WRC

 

All yard waste set out for curbside collection in the Urban Services District must follow the regular guidelines: limbs must be less than 4 feet long and less than 2 inches in diameter. All material must be in a container or paper bag or tied into bundles weighing less than 60 lbs. See, Louisvilleky.gov/YardWaste

 

Hometown Hauling is asking their customers to call their office if they have extra trash or yard waste due to the storm. There may be additional fees for collection, but they are dealing with each customer on a case-by-case basis. Residents serviced by other private waste haulers are encouraged to contact their provider about storm debris removal procedures.

 

As of Thursday, April 14, Public Works crews are assessing the damage of the hardest hit areas and will create an action plan to address those needs.

JEFFERSON COUNTY

I-Move Kentucky (I-64 / I-71 / I-265): Find out the latest project updates here: https://i-moveky.com/.

Sherman Minton Bridge (I-64 & US 150 over the Ohio River between Louisville, KY, and New Albany, IN): Find out the latest project updates here: https://shermanmintonrenewal.com/.

I-65 South: Left lane temporarily closed at mile marker 136, just south of the Kennedy Bridge. The lane was initially closed on March 4 after the elevated roadway bridge was severely damaged by a coil of steel that fell off a semitrailer. After multiple inspections, it was determined that the lane would remain closed for the safety of the motoring public. It’s not an active construction zone. Engineers are working on a repair, but there is no completion date set for the project.

I-265 South (Gene Snyder Freeway): Left lane on the exit ramp to Westport Road and Chamberlain Lane (exit 32) was closed in January 2021 after a vehicle struck the overpass. The left lane will remain closed until a repair can be made. Funding for repair has been secured; the project has been awarded. The project is expected to be completed in summer 2022.

U.S. 31E (Bardstown Road/ Buechel Bypass): Daily lane closures and delays are possible while crews perform striping work in a mobile operation between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. from Storage Way to Hikes Lane/KY 2052. Motorists should provide plenty of space to crews displaying “WET PAINT” signage and be observant of slowed vehicles while moving through the work zone.

U.S. 31E (Buechel Bypass): Right lane closure over the Norfolk Southern Railroad (mile point 10.4) due to findings from a routine inspection in 2021. It’s not an active construction zone, and the affected area isn’t visible while driving over the bridge. KYTC has secured the money and has a signed agreement with the railroad to perform the necessary repair work. We anticipate the project will go out to bid this spring. Once the contractor is selected, they will need to get a separate agreement with the railroad. There is no completion date set for the project at this time. Motorists can use Bardstown Road as a detour.

KY 1450 (Blue Lick Road): Weekday lane closures between Gene Snyder and Preston Highway for road widening work. The project is expected to be completed in summer 2023

Stonebridge Road: The closure of the bridge carrying Stonebridge Road over Muddy Fork, a tributary of Beargrass Creek, near the Blankenbaker Lane intersection was pushed back to April 18 because of weather and other related issues. It’s being closed to construct a new bridge in its place. Detour signs will direct motorists to use Blankenbaker Lane and River Hill Road during the bridge closure. It was originally scheduled to close on April 11. The project is still expected to be completed in late spring 2022.
