The Metro Council met Thursday for its second meeting of March. During the meeting, Councilman Khalil Batshon recognized the service of Nick Rodman Legacy Foundation Executive Director Ashley Rodman and announced the naming of Louisville’s newest park in honor of fallen LMPD Officer Nick Rodman. Additionally, Councilman Joseph recognized the achievements of Butler High School student Cesar Garcia, who was recently elected Secretary General at the Kentucky United Nations Assembly (KUNA) Conference.
In addition to the above listed recognitions, the Metro Council took action on the following items:
Mask Ordinance Changes (O-264-24): By a vote of 9 -14, I and the majority of members of the Metro Council were able to stop efforts by a few members of the Metro Council to reduce the effectiveness and ability of LMPD to use the ordinance that prohibits the use of masks in public places for reasons other than religion or health. In reviewing this proposal, members of the Metro Council received testimony from members of LMPD as well as the Mayor’s Office against weakening the ordinance, as well as discussion on the origins of the ordinance in combatting demonstrations by groups that sought to use masks as a means for intimidation as well as a way to prevent people from knowing who is participating in such demonstrations.
Cigar Bar Exemption (O-071-25): I joined the majority of members of the Metro Council who voted 20-6 in favor of an amendment to the current Metro Smoking Ban to allow an exemption for those cigar bars. This ordinance helps to bring common sense to our current ordinance and will help address an identified need by groups associated within the hospitality and tourism industry. The ordinance only allows for smoking in businesses that obtain an annual license, generate at least 15 percent of its annual gross income from the sale of cigars or pipe tobacco and must have signage as well as designated smoke free areas to allow for the delivery of materials by outside vendors.
Nick Rodman Legacy Park (R-030-25): The Metro Council unanimously supported a resolution that will name a new park planned for Lamborne Boulevard in Southwest Jefferson County as the Nick Rodman Legacy Park. This park is expected to open this spring following a year of construction and nearly $2 million in investment.
Zoning Cases Approved: The Metro Council voted to approve zoning cases located on Garden Trace Drive, Race Road, Logan Street and South Preston Street.
The Metro Council does not have meetings scheduled for the next two weeks. Our next regular committee week will start on April 14, 2025. The Metro Council’s next meeting will be the Mayor’s Budget Address, which will start at 4pm and will mark the start of the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget process. https://louisvilleky.primegov.com/public/portal

Louisville, Ky. (March 26, 2025) – Looking for activities to keep kids and teens entertained during your spring break staycation? Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg announced today that parents and guardians need to check out all of the free programs being offered at the Louisville Free Public Library.
“Fun and learning doesn’t have to end when school is out,” Mayor Greenberg said. “We are thrilled to offer these programs at no charge to serve families who need access to safe, engaging and amazing learning opportunities for young people in every corner of this community.”
Starting Saturday, March 29, LFPL will offer more than 100 free programs and activities to help keep kids and teens engaged and entertained while school is out. LFPL offers hands-on learning programs for children to play, create, and explore together, including interactive storytimes, crafts, nature play, a puppet show, and STEAM activities at locations across Louisville. Families can also enjoy free presentations and performances at the Library from Kentucky Shakespeare, the Little Loomhouse, Brightside Louisville, Jefferson Memorial Forest, and the Louisville Orchestra.
Special events include a Wonder Women Showcase at Shawnee Library (Saturday, March 29, 2 p.m., Shawnee Library, for ages 5-12), a Minute-To-Win-It Challenge at the Northeast Regional Library (Friday, April 4, 2 p.m.), and Lotería Bilingüe/ Bilingual Bingo at Iroquois Library (Thursday, April 3, 6 p.m.). Louisville Orchestra’s “Once Upon An Orchestra,” an interactive storytelling through music performance, will bring the children’s book Bunny’s Book Club to life at the Jeffersontown Library (Saturday, March 29, 10:30 a.m.). Then Kentucky Shakespeare will present a two-actor, family-friendly performance of the Bard’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Northeast Regional Library (Saturday, March 29, 2 p.m.).
Teenagers can also participate in a variety of projects at branches around town, or just hang out and meet other teens in a safe space.

2025 Pop-Up Drop-Off Schedule
All events are 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. on a Saturday. Please do not arrive early. Vehicles waiting cause traffic backups.
- April 5: UofL Shelby Campus, 440 N Whittington Pkwy

Pop-Up Drop-Off events are popular and well attended! Follow these tips for your best experience:
Tip #1: Do not arrive early! All Pop-Up Drop-Off events start at 10 a.m. A line of vehicles causes traffic backups and prevents our equipment from entering.
Tip #2: Only bring sensitive documents to be shredded! The line for shredding is usually the longest. We have seen catalogs, paperback books, etc. being shredded, which is unnecessary and takes up valuable time.
Tip #3: Make sure no items are mixed with your documents! We've seen hammers, scissors, and toys mixed in with documents. These contaminants can break the shredding truck's equipment!
Tip #4: Try giving away usable items first! We see a LOT of decent items being trashed or recycled at our events. Some residents even offer these items to workers - staff is not allowed to keep items. Please try to donate or give away BEFORE coming to our waste and recycling event.
Tip #5: Loads of construction materials, lumber, and loose debris are NOT allowed! Take these loads to the Waste Reduction Center at 636 Meriwether Ave instead. Pop-Up Drop-Off events are very popular - please follow the rules so we can keep the line moving.
Tip #6: Separate your loads into the various categories! More can be recycled and the line moves faster when you are ready to offload your items at each station.
Tip #7: Check-in staff will ask for your zip code and which types of items you brought. We track this information so we can keep improving our events. Most residents bring large items, electronics, and documents for shredding. Other categories include metal (or mostly metal) items, tires, yard waste, household recyclables, prescription medication, and shoes.
Accepted Items:
- Up to 3 electronic items (recycled)
- Metal & appliances - no refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers or any items containing Freon (recycled)
- Up to 4 passenger tires (recycled)
- Household recyclables, follow curbside rules (recycled)
- Yard waste, follow curbside rules, wooden pallets (composted)
-
Large household items (landfilled)
- Documents for shredding (recycled)
- Prescription medication (disposed properly)
- Gently used shoes will be collected for WaterStep - every 3 pairs of shoes collected provides safe water for 1 person for life!
Items must already be separated into categories for easy off-loading so as much can be recycled as possible.
Not Accepted:
- Garbage, loose debris (use curbside garbage collection or take to landfill)
- Concrete, bricks, rocks
- Construction debris (take to Waste Reduction Center, fees apply)
- Refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, or items containing Freon (take to Waste Reduction Center or metal recycling facility)
- Latex paint (disposal information)
- Batteries, light bulbs, oil-based paint, varnishes, stains, and other household hazardous waste (take to Haz Bin)
- Tree trunks
- Boats, hot tubs
- Items from businesses
- Trailers greater than 10 feet in length (larger loads can be taken to the Waste Reduction Center)
The Office of Planning’s Library Hours (Zoning Matters: Conversations with a City Planner) return in 2025!

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.

Did you know there are more than 840 known species of ticks? The good news is they aren’t all in Jefferson County!
Ticks are small parasites that feed on the blood of mammals, birds and sometimes reptiles and amphibians. They are commonly found in wooded, brushy, and grassy areas. However, people can be exposed to a tick in their own yard. They can spread diseases to both pets and people. Diseases they carry include Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), ehrlichiosis and Lyme disease.
Exposure to ticks can happen all year round, but they tend to be more active during warmer months. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nationally emergency department visits for tick bites increase significantly in the spring and summer.
The three most prevalent ticks found in Jefferson County are the Lone Star tick, American Dog tick and Blacklegged tick.
Before you head out to enjoy a spring hike or gardening in your yard, here are some ways to protect yourself from tickborne illnesses:
Before you go:
- Know where to expect ticks: grassy, brushy, or wooded areas.
- Treat your clothing and gear with products that contain 0.5% permethrin. Permethrin is an insecticide that can be used to treat your clothing, boots, shoes and camping gear.
- Use Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registered insect repellents that contain DEET, picaridin, IR3535, or Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus.
After you come inside:
- Check your clothing for ticks. Remove any ticks you find. You can wash your clothes in hot water to kill ticks.
- Shower soon after coming inside. It may help wash off unattached ticks.
- Check your body for ticks. Check all parts of your body especially under the arms, inside the belly button, in and around your ears and hair, the back of your knees and around your waist.
Want more information on ticks in this area, how to avoid tick bites and how to safely remove a tick? Listen to WFPL’s On Track podcast “Tick’d.” It features Matt Vanderpool, an environmental health specialist with the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness. Matt studies diseases spread by ticks and mosquitoes. You can also learn more at the department’s website.
Spot a Tick and Share
If you are bitten by a tick or discover one, please share it with us through our Spot a Tick and Share Program. Ticks brought in by community members helps our environmental health specialist identify what types of ticks are in the Metro area and what diseases they may be carrying.
The program launched in 2022. To date, more than 398 ticks have been speciated and tested for disease through the program. Of those samples, nearly 102 have been brought in by Louisville Metro residents and the rest collected by our team.
Early results show the most common ticks found in the Metro area are:
- Lone Star tick – 85% of collected ticks
- American Dog tick – 12% of collected ticks
Since the start of the program, three ticks have tested positive for disease, one with ehrlichiosis and two with Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
To submit a tick, follow these steps:
- Place the tick in an airtight container, not a plastic bag.
- Cover the tick in rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer.
- Label the container with your name and contact information.
- Complete and attach this form that you can also find on louisvilleky.gov.
- Drop off the sample at Public Health and Wellness headquarters at 400 E. Gray St. Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
More information about ticks can be found on our website.
