Representatives from the following agencies will be there to answer questions: MSD, Public Works, Metro Police, IPL (Inspections, Permits and Licenses ) and the VA.
METRO COUNCIL UPDATE
 The Metro Council meeting began honoring three Louisvillians for their remarkable achievements. First, Councilman David James honored LMPD Officers Fred Wilson and Daniel Goldberg for rescuing a young man who was kidnapped, bound and placed in the trunk of a car on a day when temperatures surpassed 100 degrees.
Second, Councilman Kelly Downard honored Dr. Paul Coomes of the University of Louisville for his long standing economic forecasts that significantly aided Metro budget projects.
In other Council business a resolution was passed unanimously in support of the AT&T It Can Wait campaign. Each member of the Louisville Metro Council was given a copy of the pledge to sign. This is part of an effort to show our community that no message is so urgent that it's worth diverting attention from the road and risking lives in the process. It Can Wait!
