Metro Council Update
 Monday night the Louisville Metro Council met for its yearly organizational meeting where we elected Councilman Jim King, from District 10, to serve a third term as Metro Council President. We also elected H. Stephen Ott to serve as our new Metro Council Clerk. Mr. Ott had been serving as Deputy Clerk under longtime Metro Council Clerk Kathy Herron who has retired. The 14 newly or re-elected members of the Metro Council took the oath of office.
Councilman Ken Fleming was elected to continue serving as the Republican Caucus Chairman for another one year term and Councilman Jerry Miller from District 19 was elected to serve as vice chairman. Councilman David James was elected to serve as the Democratic Caus chairman and Councilwoman Vicki Aubrey Welch was elected to serve as vice chairwoman.
This year I will serve as chair of the Public Safety Committee and I will be a sitting member of the Government, Accountability and Ethics committee as well as the Budget committee.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet
wants to hear for you!
 In 2035, what will be our transportation needs for Kentucky? Will our focus be on maintaining and improving existing roadways, constructing new roads, or issues concerning other modes of transportation? Kentucky Transportation Cabinet officials are asking these questions as they update the Kentucky Long Range Transportation Plan.
The process of updating the Kentucky Long Range Transportation Plan has begun. The new plan will be an overarching policy guide with goals, objectives and strategies to address the core transportation opportunities and challenges facing each of us.
As part of the planning process, The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has designed and will widely distribute a confidential public survey to gauge the transportation expectations of all those who travel the state.
The “Your Turn” survey will run throughFeb. 25. It consists of 19 questions concerning demographics, transportation needs and desires, and funding options. Your input will be used to plan for the future transportation system for you, your family and your community.
The survey will be available in electronic and hard copy form in English and Spanish. A link to the “Your Turn” survey and other transportation information can be found by visiting www.transportation.ky.gov and clicking on the “Your Turn” survey link. You can also access “Your Turn” directly at the link yourturn.transportation.ky.gov. This direct link will also provide compiled survey results in late 2013 as well as other information throughout the update of this Long Range Plan.
Paper surveys are available at:
- KYTC highway district offices
- Area Development District offices
- Metropolitan Planning Organization offices
- Transportation Cabinet Office Building, 200 Mero St., Frankfort

Charitable Street Solicitation
The District 11 office has received several concerns regarding charitable street solicitors who are collecting money at the intersection of Taylorsville Road and Breckenridge Lane. Any organization collecting money at any intersection of Louisville Metro is required to obtain a permit from the department of Inspections, Permits and Licenses (IPL).
Along with this permit, IPL issues a yearly calendar that identifies the dates that an organization has a permit to collect. Should you see any organization collecting money at an intersection and they are not listed for that date on the IPL calendar, we ask that you call LMPD at 574-7111.
To view a copy of the calendar for scheduled charitable street solicitors in PDF format, click the link below.
