Leitchfield — The Leitchfield City Council on Monday, Oct. 6, 2025, voted on several routine and policy items, approving a change to the city employee handbook’s holiday-pay rule, authorizing funds for a local food-assistance group, approving the July 2025 financial statement and tabling an appointment to the Board of Adjustments.
The council moved through minutes and bills quickly and took agreement-by-voice on each item. Council members also discussed budgeting and next steps for several civic initiatives before adjourning.
The most substantive formal actions were: - Revision to employee handbook holiday pay: The council approved a change requiring employees to work the day before and the day after a holiday to receive holiday pay, or to use accrued time for one of those days; department heads may approve exceptions. Motion and second were made during the meeting and the motion carried by voice vote.
- Grayson County Alliance Christmas food baskets: The council approved providing funds for the food-basket program and discussed the need for accountability documentation from the nonprofit. Council members noted the city may need to amend the budget and that staff will consider adding a recurring line item (approximately $5,000) for next year. The motion passed by voice vote.
- Approval of financial statements and routine bill ratification: The council approved the July 2025 financial statement and ratified bills presented; both passed by voice vote with no recorded ‘no’ votes in the transcript.
- Board of Adjustments vacancy: The council voted to table action on filling a vacancy on the Board of Adjustments to allow additional deliberation and for staff (including Tyler) to be present at the next discussion. The motion to table was seconded and carried.
All formal actions recorded in the public transcript were taken by voice votes. No roll-call vote tallies or recorded individual yes/no votes were provided in the transcript excerpts reviewed.
