[0:00] Okay, this is a, you can sit. Go ahead to stand yet. This is a tax rate. This is special meeting related to the 2026 property tax rate. Call this the order. Just a quick summary. Our last year's tax rate for last year was 0.154 per 100 hours of evaluation assess value. We're recommending.

[0:29] in that we go to 0.159 that is above the compensating tax rate which will give an additional

[0:37] $34,954 approximately to the city which will use for public safety and public work projects.

[0:45] Any comments from the public? No comment? Okay, this special meeting is adjourned.

[0:53] Okay. Now,

[0:57] I'll stand.

[1:01] The legislature is in the sign of prayer.

[1:04] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,

[1:09] and to the Republic for which it stands,

[1:11] one nation under God, individual,

[1:15] and liberty and justice for all.

[1:17] The main standing, of course,

[1:19] this is the eve of the anniversary,

[3:27] I mentioned earlier also remember the victims of 9-11 terrorist attack. That's my report. Any questions?

[3:41] City of Administration's report just really great for the mayor to build on that with the city staff on the election

[3:47] to park over it. The town certainly agreed to let us use some of those park spaces behind the old painting tree and the public is also

[3:53] welcome. It's there if you need it to use those.

[3:56] And we'll ask the police department if the crew is just for election. That's two to create more spots.

[4:00] Every great. Okay. Other than that no report there.

[4:04] Okay.

[4:07] Continuing business, we have ordinance 2026-8-1, a second reading of the 2026 property tax rate.

[4:26] So this is an ordinance of the city of Presby Hills, Kentucky, providing for a levy

[4:30] enforcement of the collection of taxes and revenue for the year 2026.

[4:36] As I mentioned earlier, the bear alarm tax for real property is $0.159 for each $100 of taxable value.

[4:50] So $10 for an increase, $10 for $200,000 half.

[4:57] Questions on that?

[5:17] We have an ordinance 2026-8-2.

[5:21] This is a second reunion adopting S-31 supplement to the code of ordinances.

[5:27] And in the ordinance of the City of Cresciose Contacting and Acting of the S-31 supplement

[5:34] to the Kressy Hills Code of Orances, basically American publishing goes out and looks at all of our ordinances,

[5:40] made and codifies them to make sure everything is legit or in the right order.

[5:46] So we need a motion on this.

[5:49] The move.

Under new business, we have order resolution 2026-9-1, an order resolution of the city of Cressfield City Council approving the re-appointment of Margo Boma Gardiner as the city's representative to the Kitten County Planning Commission for a four-year term, beginning January 1st, 2027.

[6:31] Aye.

[6:33] Thank you.

[6:34] Public works.

[6:36] Mr. McKinley.

[6:37] We had our meeting on September 2nd.

[6:43] Went over the current projects.

[6:45] The Turkey foot road project.

[6:48] The only thing I can report on that tonight is that there's a meeting coming soon with the City Council people.

[6:54] with KYTC to go over the plans for the project and give you an update when that happens.

[7:03] Then we had a Dixie Highway sidewalk project.

[7:07] They were still addressing some of the traffic control issues with that project,

[7:11] and that clears up. Then we hope we're good to go after that.

[7:14] We've been looking at this a while.

[7:16] Orange Branch Road, apparently they submitted some plans to KYTC.

[7:21] They had some final comments that they made about the project.

[7:25] They are reviewing an environmental review.

[7:30] They expect to have beds in three to four months.

[7:33] And they would like to do to get their project completed before we put the road down.

[7:38] So they don't have to cut through a new road and cause some visual problems there.

[7:43] Look out for Farms Bridge.

[7:44] It was just over there.

[7:46] It seems like they have an opportunity.

[7:48] maybe to complete that by the end of the month, it would be like there was just two more sections of road that needed to be put in, and I'm sure there's some finishing work that needs to be done with that, and then maybe they'll be able to get in the yards and clean up the yards and restore that, and I'm sure everybody's looking forward to that.

[8:03] The project is moving rather well, so that's a good deal.

[8:07] So Thomas More Parkway, we're waiting on the survey to be completed, they're hopeful

[8:13] that we can get the project started by July 20, 20, 27.

[8:18] Wood's point, there's some additional concrete work that has to be done over there.

[8:27] They've uncovered a few problems here and now that they need to fix it before they can get

[8:31] this project completed.

[8:32] So it'll be a little more expensive to get the thing done, but I'm sure we've done it correctly.

[8:37] That's a good thing.

[8:39] A center view is in engineering and design.

[8:42] And we talked about the lessons way.

[8:44] There's a water issue over there that we will be addressing.

[8:48] And that would be my report, sir.

[8:50] Thank you.

[8:51] Any questions?

[8:54] Thank you.

[8:54] On instance, the rule.

[8:56] Yes.

[8:57] The item now is important.

[8:59] So.

[9:02] Thank you.

[9:04] A place of authority and safety, Mr. Dorsey.

[9:08] Yes.

[9:08] Yes, we held our regular monthly meeting on August 17th with the quorum present.

[9:17] We reviewed all statements, warrants and requests for payment, voted to pay the bills

[9:22] and remain solvent.

[9:24] The chief reported that Petrolman Wilson is now braided from Basic Training Academy in

[9:29] Richmond, Kentucky and is now serving on our streets.

[9:38] During his time at Basic Training, he performed an

[9:43] leadership role enacted as the class adjutant.

[9:46] He was also awarded the Coordinators Award as well for physical fitness, excellent

[9:54] or excellence for award.

[9:59] Sergeant Jackson completed a values-based leadership course with the SCJT, which is our state

[10:07] police training.

[10:11] Sergeant Mullins completed a crisis management affecting institutions of higher education

[10:16] which was hosted by Thomas Moore University and Petrolman Boyers completed a de-escalation instructors

[10:25] course. On

[10:29] August 12th of 2026 the department was awarded a six certificate of accreditation by

[10:36] the Kentucky Association's chief of police. So we are remained an accredited police agency and I think

[10:46] I think it speaks highly of the whole staff and the whole department.

[10:51] That's my report.

[10:52] Thank you.

[10:53] Any questions?

[10:55] Okay.

[10:56] Fine.

[10:57] Miss.

[10:58] Chief Dickman.

[11:27] Thank you.

[11:27] I'm going

[11:31] back to the water district just to be aware that there may be some discoloration

[11:36] as well from the splashes.

[11:39] The next thing I'm just going to add is that it's not too late to sign up.

[11:43] We have a community CPR class for this Saturday, September 12 at 10 a.m.

[11:48] We can reach out to the fire department, we need to get you registered.

[11:52] I'll cost the classes $25 for that CPR class.

[11:56] That's all I have to report to those other questions.

[11:59] Any questions?

[12:01] Thank you.

[12:03] Captain Henry?

[12:06] Welcome aboard.

[12:16] Good evening.

[12:17] Just have a couple of things to hit on that's actually in the package that you all've got.

[12:21] run volume is up for August as compared to 2425. Pretty big boost in that was

[12:30] during the storms that we had come through, we had one day, we had 39 separate

[12:34] incidents, it was a pretty busy day. Oh, we've got several new personnel that have

[12:39] come in, four brand new firefighters that we've enrolled into, the Kentucky

[12:43] Basic Firefighter Program. So we're actively going through that. We've got three

[12:48] We need people in the EMT class, and we just, with the new school, we just started six new high school students.

[12:55] So they're working with our recruitment and retention in our ever shift and training every day.

[13:02] So those are the main things that you have to answer any questions that you have any questions.

[13:06] Any questions?

[13:09] Thank you.

[13:10] Good evening.

[13:11] Thanks.

[13:12] Development zoning, Mr. Kramer.

[13:14] The committee has not met since our last meeting, just a couple of brief developments.

[13:20] We mentioned this as the last meeting, Covenant Natural Health Care is opening on 2701

[13:26] Chancellor Drive, apparently the opening date has been set for September 28th,

[13:31] we're looking forward to having them in the city.

[13:33] It's my understanding along the Steakhouse and the former Taste of Belgium is coming along.

[13:39] and should be open before the end of the year,

[13:42] so we're also looking forward to that.

[13:43] That's all I have.

[13:44] Thank you.

[13:45] Any questions?

[13:49] You're cycling?

[13:50] Arbit?

[13:51] I'll give you a word for it.

[13:52] Okay.

[13:53] Let's see.

[13:54] Our recreation.

[13:55] So does that happen?

[13:56] 75th anniversary of Presby Hills.

[13:59] The dinner is going to be held on October 3rd Saturday

[14:02] at Summon Hills Country Club.

[14:03] We have cocktails at five o'clock.

[14:05] We have dinner starting at six.

[14:07] You do need to make reservations online.

[14:10] There's the ability to do that by looking at our web page and multiple other places to find that information.

[14:17] It does require prepayments, $50 per person, due at the time of that reservation.

[14:23] You have the ability to pick your entree, your dessert, drinks you on you.

[14:28] It's a cash bar, at this particular point.

[14:30] And the reservation deadline is Monday, September 21st.

[14:34] Everyone is welcome. You don't have to be a resident of Cressview Hills.

[14:38] or affiliated with Summit Hills Country Club, so we're looking forward to it.

[14:45] You want to provide that information?

[14:49] So RC engineer three just sponsored the bar that was from one tree?

[14:57] Well you didn't tell me.

[14:58] That just happened.

[15:00] That's nice. So probably when you build them, get either. So, you know, when you show them, increase attendance dramatically. Just get one drink, get one drink, take it in the rest. It's still a catch bar. Yeah. But thanks to my gig. That's great. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Personal public relations. The only thing I'll say is a cheat date. Holden is out with some surgery and everybody to keep him in his prayers.

[15:29] that he gets a quick recovery.

[15:33] Telecommunication board, the only thing I'll say there is if you remember, they're old

[15:39] TVNK location down on the Corsi pipe kind of like the dairy, they have now moved to 1650

[15:50] Russell Street, or they're moving to 1650 Russell Street, so along the railroad tracks

[15:57] back up to the railroad tech. So that's more space, and I think probably more modern space than being in a wood shop, so

[16:07] before we do that.

[16:10] Communication, we just went through the newsletter, the fall newsletter, we're doing any edits that we need to do.

[16:16] So I'd say that's probably going to be out tomorrow.

[16:21] So

[16:23] any questions with anything?

[16:27] Did you mention the deadline for RSVP on this?

[16:30] Yes, September 20th, we're just sorry, it's meant to be.

[16:32] We have to tell the summit after the summit,

[16:35] we have to tell the country that everybody is in order,

[16:37] and that's why it's so far back.

[16:40] Thank you.

[16:42] Motion to adjourn, second.

[16:44] Motion to second, any discussion?

[16:46] All those in favor say aye.

[16:47] Aye.

[16:48] Opposed?

[16:50] Thank you.

[16:51] Thank you.
