Public Hearing Scheduled for April 3, 2012 on Proposed Changes to Ordinance on Historic Districts and Landmarks
The Louisville Metro Council’s Planning and Zoning Committee will hold another public hearing on a proposed ordinance (O-33-02-12), which will amend Louisville Metro’s Designation of Historic Districts and Local Landmarks.
The public hearing will take place on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The second public hearing will be held at the meeting hall of UAW Local 862 (3000 Fern Valley Road). This hearing will not be aired live via Metro TV or streaming video due to the fact that the meeting is being held at a remote location. An audio recording of the meeting will be available on the Metro Council’s website after the conclusion of the meeting and recording of minutes.
Hearing Rules: Persons wishing to address the committee will have the opportunity to sign up one (1) hour prior to the start of either hearing. Those who sign up to speak will be called to address the committee in the order in which they signed up, and will each be given up to three minutes to speak. Persons will not be allowed to sign up to speak via phone call or e-mail to the Metro Council in advance, nor will they be allowed to grant their time to another person.
At the first public hearing, signups will be held on the third floor of City Hall. At the second hearing, signups will take place at the UAW. Signups for both hearings will be conducted by the office of the Metro Council Clerk.
Any person who speaks before the committee or is unable to speak will be allowed to submit written testimony for inclusion in the record of the hearing. Persons attending the meetings are not allowed to bring signs, props or other materials that are larger than 8 ½” x 11” in size or that might block the view of persons attending the hearing.

Seeking Volunteers for Brightside Community-Wide Cleanup
Register your family, friends, employer, place of worship, suburban city, group, organization or school for the Brightside Community-Wide Cleanup, April 14. Brightside's Community-Wide Cleanup is being held as the kick off for Give a Day, Mayor Greg Fischer's Week of Service launching what Mayor Fischer hopes will be the most compassionate week in Louisville's history.
Last fall, more than 6,200 volunteers removed 10 tons of trash from streets, sidewalks and green spaces. Volunteers receive free bags and gloves. T-Shirts available to the first 5,000 volunteers.
Click here to register online today! The supply pickup is April 7th, at Louisville Slugger Field at 10:00 a.m.
The Community-Wide Cleanup is made possible this spring thanks to the generous support of UPS. Additional support comes from the Kentucky PRIDE Fund, Louisville Bats, Louisville Metro Solid Waste Management and individual Brightside donors. Corporations and residents are making a difference in the community by supporting Brightside's anti-litter initiatives, keeping Louisville clean, green and beautiful.
Brightside is donor-funded and volunteer driven. If you are unable to participate in the cleanup, please consider sponsoring our volunteers by making a tax deductible donation today.
Corporate sponsorship opportunities are available for next fall's cleanup. Call Brightside today 502.574.2613 for details.
Feel free to copy and paste this information into your eNewsletters! A clean city attracts investment and makes our streets safer. Please mention Brightside as a sponsor.
