Louisville (January 25, 2023) – The Louisville Metro Council will hold two special Committee of the Whole meetings to interview eligible District 3 and District 6 applicants. The District 3 applicants will be interviewed at the January 30 meeting and the District 6 applicants will be interviewed at the January 31 meeting.
Because the gallery of Metro Council Chambers is currently undergoing renovations, the public will not have access to that space. Members of the public may come to City Hall and view the proceedings live via a television in another location in the building.
The public also may watch the proceedings live on Metro TV, Spectrum Cable Channel 184, or on UVERSE at Channel 99.
Former Councilmembers Keisha Dorsey (D-3) and David James (D-6) resigned from their respective seats on January 4. According to the Rules of the Louisville Metro Council, the vacant seats must be filled within 30 days.
The Metro Council Clerk’s Office accepted applications from January 4 - 13, and then the Jefferson County Attorney’s Office reviewed those applications for eligibility.
