Metro Council Update At the July 10, the Metro Council approved a $45 million bond toward the expansion of Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. The Council also approved several re-zoning cases. In addition, the Council voted to send back to The Public Safety Committee an ordinance that would have removed funding for an ammunition bunker to be built on Cardinal Hill in Southwest Jefferson County in District 25. Many residents in the area have expressed a concern that the proposed bunker would impose a threat to the residents and to the nearby reservoir, which is the main supply of water to the area.

Television Stations Switching from Analog to Digital: How It May Affect You By law, television stations nationwide must end their analog broadcasts and begin broadcasting exclusively in a digital format after February 17, 2009. If you receive free broadcast television signals through antennas on a television set equipped with analog tuners and are not a cable or satellite subscriber, you may need to purchase a converter box. For more details on this process, contact our office at ken.fleming@louisvilleky.gov or 574-1107 and we will be sure to send you a free pamphlet.

Metro Council Pages The Metro Council encourages its young citizens to take an active role in the legislative process by volunteering as pages. Two pages will begin serving at each regularly scheduled council meeting, delivering documents between members of the council, the clerk, and the president. Each page serves just one evening, and council members share responsibility for selecting young persons for this role. If you know someone that is interested in serving as page during a Council meeting, contact Councilman Fleming's office. |
