 Dear District 16 friends and neighbors,
Yesterday, I spent the day touring Prospect. Although the tornado damage was significant in the James Taylor, Beechland Beach and Hunting Creek areas, it was good to see LG&E and Metro Public Works crews working very hard to clean debris and restore power.
Most importantly, I am thankful to report that there were no injuries. This is a huge blessing.
I am especially grateful for the Prospect Police department, Prospect Public Works department, and Anchorage Middletown Fire & EMS who responded moments after the storm hit. I am also thankful that we have the support of Louisville Metro Public Works Department who are now helping with the extensive clean up.
If you or a neighbor need help, please do not hesitate to contact my office at (502) 574-1116 or Scott.Reed@louisvilleky.gov. We will be happy to help or connect you with the appropriate Metro department.
Sincerely,
Scott

Since 2017, the General Assembly has taken the position of implementing a fiscally responsible budget that is a blueprint of controlling spending, reducing our personal income rate, and strengthening our investment in education, public safety, human services, economic development and infrastructure.
This year we continue our commitment by not succumbing to politically driven, short term gains but rather fostering a stable and predictable budget at a time when inflation, interest rates, as well as expiring federal aid are plaguing many states’ budgets.
In highlighting the budget, education represents the largest portion of the budget and we made every attempt to get funding to the level closest to the students whether it’s in secondary or post-secondary education. The primary budget (HB 6) represents the largest increase in funding since the Kentucky Education Reform Act was implemented in 1990. This includes a total incremental increase of $612 per student over a two year period as well as teachers retirement plan receiving an increase of nearly $460 million thus driving down unfunded liability.
For public safety, nearly $200 million was allocated including funding in Sex Offender Registry, juvenile justice facilities, and Violence Against Women. We appropriated over $2.5 billion to human services such as Child Care Assistance Partnership, Medicaid (including fraud and abuse control), Kinship care, Michele P. waiver slots, Office of Dementia Services, and mental health services as well as substance use disorder.
Transportation funding equaled to $454 million for Jefferson County and I am pleased to announce that I secured funding to start the designing process of having sound walls in areas along I-71 between the Watterson Expressway and Gene Snyder interchanges.
We have accomplished these initiatives while still maintaining a strong budget reserve trust account that is one of the best in the country and anticipate in 2025 we will have the opportunity to further reduce your personal income tax rate to 3.5% from where we started this journey at 6% in 2017.
 Attention Rental Property Owners,
The Department of Codes & Regulations has initiated their new Rental Registry program and your action is required. Property owners must register all their rental units with the city and pay a fee ranging from $25 to $250; failure to register is subject to a fine up to $100 per day per housing unit.
The registry will provide accurate and up-to-date contact information for property owners and management companies to help the city better identify and contact the responsible parties should Code Enforcement Officers find code violations at a rental property. Louisville Metro Government will randomly select properties from the list each year to undergo inspections to ensure the units meet the city code of ordinances.
Registration is available online at https://louisvilleky.gov/government/codes-regulations/. Property owners/managers may also apply in person with the Department of Codes & Regulations at 444 S. 5th St., Suite 200, Louisville, KY 40202.
 Louisville Metro Government has partnered with the Kentucky Solar Energy Society (KYSES) and the Louisville Sustainability Council (LSC) to launch the third annual solarize campaign, Solarize Louisville (formally known as Solar Over Louisville), to give residents and small businesses bulk-purchasing power to obtain discounted wholesale rates for solar installation through vetted installers. Going solar helps property owners save energy costs, support local clean energy jobs, and help Louisville meet its goal of 100% clean energy community-wide by 2040! In the past two years, 150+ residents went solar through Solarize Louisville. Our selected installers for 2024 are Icon Solar Power and Pure Power Solar. Both installers are reputable regional companies offering the same standard panel price with a 12-18% discount.
To sign up for solar or learn more, please visit: solarizelouisville.com. In addition, the Office of Sustainability will host two “Solar 101” workshops in April where community members can learn more about the program. Information and registration links can be found below.
- Solarize Louisville Workshop with Icon Solar Location: LFPL Main Library, 301 York St, Louisville, KY 40203 (in-person in the Board Room) Date: Saturday, April 6, 2024 Time: 11:00 - 12:00 p.m. Register for the workshop here.

The Office of Planning’s Library Hours return in 2024! City Planners from Louisville Metro’s Office of Planning will be available to answer questions about zoning (What is zoning? Why does it matter?) and discuss the ongoing LDC Reform project, including Middle Housing. We want to hear about your neighborhood and discuss what the reform means for you!
 These conversations are part of the ongoing Land Development Code (LDC) Reform. The LDC Reform is an equity focused approach to revise the LDC consistently with Plan 2040 to allow for increased housing choices and opportunities in new and existing neighborhoods, to create procedures and regulations that are easier to use and increase the quality of life by reducing the concentration of environmental hazards near housing.
