If you discover a tick, please share it with Metro Public Health. The Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness is using results from ticks they collect and those that people share to create a map of where ticks are being reported and develop outreach and education materials based on the types of ticks and the diseases they carry. Ticks are small parasites more commonly found in wooded, brushy and grassy areas. However, people can be exposed to a tick in their own yards, even with very little grass or trees. Exposure to ticks can happen all year round, but they tend to be more active during warmer months. They can spread diseases to both dogs and people. Ticks can transmit a number of illnesses like Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF). How to submit a tick -Place it in a small leak-proof container and cover the sample with rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer. (No plastic bags) -Label the container with your name and contact information on it, along with this completed form. (Complete one form per tick or tick bite.) -Drop off or mail the sample to LMPHW, 400 E. Gray Steet, Louisville, Ky. 40202, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm Here are the T-I-C-K rules of thumb: Take precautions and wear insect repellent. Inspect your body for ticks and rashes after being outdoors. Carefully remove the head and body of the tick. Keep monitoring your health for fever, body aches and rashes and seek medical attention if they develop. For more information about ticks, prevention tips and proper removal, visit LMPHW’s webpage. Be sure to watch our video to learn more about our Spot A Tick and Share Program.

Metro Council Meeting Summary - May 15, 2025The Metro Council typically meets twice per month. This schedule is changes in May during our review of the Mayor’s FY26 Budget proposal. Instead of having two meetings in May, we adjust to having a single meeting to accommodate an additional 10-15 hours of budget hearings. Last week we heard testimony from the Metro Human Resources Department, Codes and Regulations, Economic Development and Facilities. This week we will continue budget hearings with LMPD, Public Works, Parks and Recreation along with other departments scheduled to speak. We will end this week’s meeting with a public hearing where persons wanting to give comments on the budget are allowed to sign up and speak for up to three minutes on changes they would like to see made. If you have ever wanted to participate in this, know that sign ups for the hearing will take place between 5pm and 6pm on the day of the hearing (May 22nd). Persons will be called to speak in the order in which they sign up, and the topics covered must relate to items or ideas related to the FY26 Metro Budget. Last week’s Metro Council Meeting included 11 items on old business ranging from zoning cases, to fire board appointments, to funding to support non-profit organizations. Below are a few of the highlighted pieces of legislation passed during the meeting: Land Development Code – Public Awareness: Councilwoman Crystal Bast (District 14) and Councilman Dan Seum (District 13) proposed resolution (R-049-25) which seeks to improve the notice as well as the number of persons notified for changes proposed in zoning on properties. Fire Board Appointments: 3 new Members to the Anchorage Middletown Fire Protection District were approved. Mr. Jason Smith, Ms. Andrea Oser and Mr. Clinton Hall were appointed to fill vacancies within the board.

Signage Regulations: (R-037-25) Updated policies to allow for off-premise, modern, technologically enhanced signs to be constructed within the Downtown Business District. This request came from leaders within the downtown area and will help to improve our ability to host visitors and guests in our downtown core. As stated earlier, the week of May 18th will be a week of budget hearings followed by another week of budget hearings and committee meetings. The next scheduled meeting of the Louisville Metro Council is planned for June 12, 2025.
